Alexander? Uk Release?

[Sky_Captain]

A bit overdue, isn't it?
It's region free anyway, so importing seems the way to go for the time being. I've seen it dirt cheap as well.

Very overdue! I think i may have to import it. I just hope that when they do release the uk version its not a better video and audio codec spec then the US version. I just ordered the hunt for the red october from america, I hope it doesn't take too long too arrive

The Ultimate Cut yes. We never did get the Final Cut.

I thought their was a problem with Amazon and Warner Bros with their titles if you want to pre order this.

I don't believe that we're getting the Ultimate Cut, either.

The artwork on Amazon and the BBFC classified extras, point to the theatrical cut only.

The upside of this, if true, is that I don't have to buy the overpriced US set with all the useless tat, if I want the theatrical cut.
I can buy the cheaper single disc release of the Ultimate Cut and then the UK theatrical disc, once it ends up in an inevitable Amazon or HMV offer.

OK I've never seen this movie and would really like to. Which version is recommended? I would prefer the most 'complete' version although i understand that all versions vary quite a bit especially in terms of length. It seems the above release is about two and a half hours but is there another release almost an hour longer? It's a bit confusing.

Final cut is the longest one - the new Ultimate cut is actually a bit shorter. Final cut is easy to find. Might be better off waiting though to see what this new Ultimate cut is actually like.

True but Im not sure I even want the Theatrical cut after getting used to the Final cut. Actually I might not have even seen the Theatrical cut as Im pretty sure I saw the Directors cut first.

Im going to wait for reviews of this new Ultimate cut. And that set might get reduced quite a bit at some point I would have thought.
