Well I think the studios are to blame in that regard by releasing so many new titles as "extended", "unrated", or "directors cut" and then it's like 5 seconds of added violence or blood. People get used to seeing that on the packaging and then cry foul when it's not there even when it's unnecessary.

Wow - fantastic shots of the packaging for this!

Also question - what's going on with the Second Screen app? Is there a code to download it or is it already on the app stores? Cause I can't for some reason find it...

Looks like 4 disc set for me...

Edword · 09-28-2012, 10:26 PM

3D set for me!

I'll just sell the 3D disc to make back some of the money spent. Can't wait for this!

Richard Graham · 09-28-2012, 10:34 PM

This set is stacked like Kat Dennings.

Gotta reward the effort. Easily worth $30, and I don't even have a 3DTV.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but FOX finally got off their lazy asses and wrote the press release: http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/601...raydvd-release

Btw, it's confirmed now that the 2D set won't have extras.

they do not list the trailers

so some of the extras is missing in the press release

and what is this theatrical cut crap that surely means there will be an extended cut or directors cut right?

I wouldn't bet any money on it.

This is what I love about Ridley Scott...He never forgets about the DVD/BD folks LOL...makes his covers look all nice and shiney.

I like the 4 disk cover a lot

taei · 09-28-2012, 11:48 PM

I just watched the deleted scenes...

I promised myself I would never say this about anything involving this movie but.. Those last set of deleted scenes are a huge disappointment!

[Show spoiler]

I still love the movie,

I've viewed most of the deleted scenes that have popped up online. I can see why Ridley took many of those scenes out, but I honestly think there's a couple that should have stayed in the movie. I think both the Vickers/Janek scene and the expaned Weyland/Vickers scene should have stayed in. They have a lot of great character moments in those scenes that I think the movie would have benefited from. Each time I've seen the movie, I've felt that there was a missing element to Idris Elba's performance - and that scene between him and Charlize Theron is it. The background we get on his character in that scene perfectly informs his decisions in the rest of the film. Still, even if it's not in the movie - it's great to have the scene presented on the set and to be able to factor that material into the rest of his performance.

Likewise, the added material in the Vickers/Weyland scene is wonderful and greatly humanizes Vickers - and also allows us to feel sympathy for Weyland.
