Oh yeah! I was thinking about it too recently

Nice. I've been wanting this on br for awhile. The run time on this site and amazon.uk indicate the release will be for the theatrical cut. I'll most likely wait until which cut is being released before I order this.

OT- Ripley, this may be another reason for you to bite the bullet and get a region free player.

Akijama · 11-29-2013, 08:41 PM

Love this movie. It's very entertaining flick and it was a pleasant surprise for me. Naturally, I'm rooting for decent video presentation.

Rockercub · 11-29-2013, 09:38 PM

I love this one too. Anyone know about 101 Films track record? I've never heard of them.

That's what I keep telling myself

101 says that it has the Clive Barker commentary. I don't see it being the theatrical cut.

+1...the preorder is a good price, but I dunno, this transfer could either be startling for the moody photography (in a good way) or muddy

FarewelltotheFlesh · 01-06-2014, 08:18 PM

On facebook, it's been confirmed that the bluray is the theatrical cut and they are including the SD version of the director's cut. I'm bummed out, the director's cut is the only version to watch.

NoirFan · 01-06-2014, 08:57 PM

Definitely one to skip then. The HD broadcast was also the edited version, so I suppose this isn't surprising.

RipleyLV426 · 01-06-2014, 09:55 PM

Well, it just means that I'll wait for a better price drop before I import...as long as the transfer is good.

Blu MacReady · 01-10-2014, 02:02 PM

Amazon have emailed release date change to end of Feb

stephenwilson04 · 01-10-2014, 04:50 PM

Was really looking forward to this, but with the news that the Director's Cut is only in SD, and have no interest in the theatrical version, so I'll just have to stick with my German dvd of the DC.

laz305 · 01-10-2014, 05:34 PM

wow I hope it comes with a slipcover

If anyone can help me get this in exchange for something from the U.S that would be awesome

I'm buying this almost blind having watched once years ago. Is there is big difference between the two cuts? Is it a big difference almost like two different films or a major plot whole filled in the dir cut?

The DC is around 12 mins longer. There are a few new scenes. Two running roughly 2 mins each, 4 mins and 1min. The other 3 mins are shorter scene extensions and added gore.

Not sure. It hasn't been made clear. Probably on 1 blu-ray though, with the DC being an upscale.

NoirFan · 01-10-2014, 07:45 PM

Couldn't they have inserted the SD director's cut footage into the HD theatrical cut, or would that have been too expensive? This is one of those films where the differences are so significant that releasing the film in edited form is almost pointless.
