not many details on this one, but i'm hoping that some of the musical sequences will be lengthened.

Yea, I'll be buying this from the pawn shop in a few years. If you're going to take another year to make a extended cut they should at least tell us so we can make a informed decision. It just makes me NOT buy DVDs in the hopes they will release an extended cut, etc. later on.

I hope it's released on blu-ray but knowing Fox the chances aren't good.

Same here. Fuckers get me all excited about Man on Fire and completely neuter the thing. Needless to say I'm very cautious about buying Fox Blu-rays, and until Alien, Aliens, Predator, True Lies, or Fight Club are out they ain't fantastic for something that excites them so much.

nothing stated on the Amazon description as far as a 'branching' option so far. doesn't mean anything though, as their description mentions nothing about extras either.

Already have the first 2-disc. I'll be waiting for BD. Very anticipated title. Would love to hear JC in lossless audio!

Yep, this is probably another in the long line of Fox titles that recently got or are getting special editions but not on BD (see Big, The Full Monty, Home Alone, The Graduate, That Thing You Do, Romancing the Stone, The Apartment, 12 Angry Men, and some more I'm forgetting).

However, when it does come out on BD, I hope they have both cuts on there. (This isn't an issue for DVD because the original cut is already available.)

This SE isn't really needed, though. The previous SE was quite good (and, while this isn't a major by any means, it had better looking artwork as well).

considering we're talking about DVDs, 'need' is a relative term. i'm a huge fan of this movie, and i'm super interested to see what the eighteen added minutes will be. i'm defintely in.

I won't say I'm not interested in checking it out (and knowing me and my OC-nature when it comes to being a completist with my DVD collection, I'll probably pick it up), since I did enjoy the movie. I just felt that the pacing of the theatrical cut was fine, and that adding an extra 18 minutes (unless it's extended music performances) would mess that up. Kinda like Judd Apatow's movies. I enjoy them, but the pacing gets messed up in the unrated cuts compared to the theatrical versions.

oh, don't get me wrong, i loved the theatrical cut. i also completely agree with you on the Apatow movies as well, as they really get long winded and bloated in their extended version...really i felt the theatrical counterparts of his movies could have been edited a little tighter to begin with.

all that being said, the extra content in the upcoming Walk the Line will hopefully be musical performace in nature, but if not, i'm still that it will enhance the movie along the lines of the 'Bootleg' cut of Almost Famous, as i felt the extended version of that DVD was just a little better, as it fleshed out several scenes that were abbreviated in the theatrical version.

Well yeah, it would be good if it was like the Almost Famous DC. The extra 40 minutes did help the movie a lot. But by the same token, it could be like Apocalypse Now Redux (not bad, but quite inferior to the original cut).

While I can't judge without having seen it, I just felt that the pacing of the theatrical cut was just fine, and as a result, I just think that an extended cut would be more likely to damage it than enhance it.

But I could be wrong.

So, what did people think? How's the quality? Worth an upgrade?

LOL I didn't even see this hit stores. Did it? And yes, what do people who have seen it think?

And does it include BOTH the theatrical and extended versions or ONLY the extended version?
