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.

It was more than rumors. The director said he was working on an extended cut and that WB had OK'd it.

So this situation is most likely nothing more than WB planning a double dip. Oh well, I'll buy the cheaper digital release and wait for the Extended Cut on UHD.

How are you people surprised?

This is the same studio that made us double dip for Fury Road B&W and for Gravity silent edition.

I'll wait for the Director's Cut or the 2 movie combo. I was all in for a day one purchase, but they missed me with that cash grab.

I hoped that with WB allowing him to announce it that it would be released with the theatrical cut. But no I'm not even a little bit surprised that WB did this. Just disappointed.

What worries me about double dip is who knows if it will be DV just like Theatrical edition. WB may spare some money and not master the extra scenes in DV so whole movie will be standard HDR10 maybe.

Interesting how confused the press release is on the digital aspect. It talks about Ultraviolet in the body and then has a description of Movies Anywhere.
If studio's can't even figure it out..

[Cook]

Movies Anywhere and Ultraviolent are linked now as far as I know.

Anyone have any confirmation if WB is going to allow him to put parts 1&2 together when they are both released?

Dooby Vision and Dolby Atmos = BUY

You mean in one box set or on one disc as one film? The latter probably doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of happening. They wanted Part One and Part two to function as complete films in their own right. So I doubt they will bother to combine both films. The best you'll get is theaters doing back to back screening and watching both parts back to back at home.

This is only assumption tho.

The director said he wants to put both parts together once the second movie is released on home video making it one big movie.

That's just dumb. Even on a BD-100 you would have to compress the hell out of such a super long movie.

Best spread it over two BD-100's and have an intermission like 70mm roadshows of yore.

One of the producers said that long time ago, not the director. What the director did say was that the studio told him to do a Director’s Cut. I guess is something like the theatrical vs extended releases of The Lord of the Rings. and The Hobbit also fron New Line

Ok I got that mixed up. I don’t see how it wouldn’t work. They can shoot the opening of the second part to fit into the end of the first part. Like go to black with the headline saying 27 years later.

Another thing. It seems Andy Muschietti is indeed a director who likes to do commentary, and there’s even a clip in youtube where he does it for the woman in the painting scene, which sounds almost as if it were extracted from the actual commentary, and that’d mean this is not the definitive edition.

I don't think they would've talk about a Director's Cut and Andy even confirming he was working on it "right now" in an interview in Argentina (where he now mentioned it was about 10 minutes longer), if it was planned for the long run. My guess is that we'll see it some time next year.

There's that interview with the film's editor in which he confirmed the original cuts were much longer than 2:30 hrs:

"From memory, the first editor’s assembly was three hours and forty minutes and then after the director’s cut, we were hovering just under the three-hour mark. Then we went through studio notes and audience screenings to further work the cut."

So this could mean the 15 min. of "delated scenes" feature in the upcoming release are NOT what the the Muschiettis are including in the Director's Cut.
