I will give IT another watch though just to be sure.

I suspect they're keeping certain things under wraps for the sequel.

Blu-ray only steelbook? Shame. Getting this on 4K either way though.

I just knew it. Think we could see the press release in a few hours.

[MattPerdue]

Cool, Dolby Vision. Also no Director's cut but I'm okay with that.

[imsounoriginal]

So no extended cut?

[flyry]

I'm fine if there is no extended cut. I liked the movie, but as I've said before 2 hours and 15 min was long enough for a horror film in my books.

[Oscarilbo]

What? no Director's Cut?

Don't worry, they will sell it to you a couple months from now after you bought this release first.

[TauHeel05]

Dolby vision!!!!

[Oscarilbo]

It's weird... Why would you announce a Director's Cut with 15 extra mins. aprox (unofficially of course, but by Director and Producer themselves) and then release it with the 15 mins. of delated scenes as an extra feature?

[PeterTHX]

Sigh.
Warner. What's with the redundant DTS-MA 5.1 track taking up GB of space and several Mbps of bandwidth?
Atmos/TrueHD actually folds up from 2.0 to 5.1 to 7.1 + Objects, not to mention the embedded DD 5.1 track.

[Pieter V]

• Pennywise Lives! -16 minutes
• The Losers' Club - 15 minutes
• Author of Fear - 13 minutes
• Deleted Scenes - 15 minutes

[Oscarilbo]

If that's all the special features, doesn't sound like a definitive edition AT ALL for a film this successful

[mckee74]

I'd agree. This has gone from a day one to a I think I'll give it a while. Maybe when the second part comes out?

As a dream, I wish they'd do an unabridged edit with the second film and have it play like the book - going from the kids to the adults, back to the kids and so on.

This film looked surprisingly wonderful in Dolby Cinema.

I have no doubt this will be an absolute knockout release; especially WITH Dolby Vision.

[nekromantik]

What a disappointment with no extended cut!
Why would director say they will release extended when studio dont want to.
Double dips are so annoying!
I bet they wait until sequel is coming to theaters before releasing directors cut.

[McCrutchy]

My guess that the rumored extended cut might be being saved to promote the theatrical release of the sequel--after all, the next film is going to be a direct follow-on. That would also give the production time to fine tune an extended version to coalesce with a sequel.

Either that, or the rumors were just that, and/or any extended cut that may have been assembled was not up to snuff for public consumption.
