Fincher's 'Zodiac' DVD? Let's speculate...
I loved this film. I realize we're a couple of months away from an official announcement, but this should be an uber-set.
What would you guys like to see?
For me, a '3 Disc Special Edition' featuring...
Theatrical cut
Extended Director's cut (including the Faraday/Jensen murders)
3 Audio Commentaries:
1) David Fincher
2) Cast- Downey,Gyllenhaal and Ruffalo
3) Author Robert Graysmith
2 hour doc : 'Making Zodiac'
Featurettes:
Art Direction: Achieving the look of the period
Photographing 'Zodiac'.
Documentary 'Hunting the Zodiac'
Audio of Zodiac's phone calls
Photo gallery- Zodiac Letters
What else?

Since it's (apparently) Paramount, I wouldn't get my hopes up for a 3-disc set. At least there's a chance the HD versions may get some HD extras.
Were scenes cut that Fincher wanted left in, or do you just want a longer cut?

Yeah, Paramount dvds ae so lackluster but maybe they'll have a Robert Graysmith audio commentary, atleast that will make up for lack of anything else.

I don't expect this to be any different.

Paramount? I coulda' sworn I also saw a WB logo at the start of the film.
Either way, chances are better of getting a good SE right off the bat, instead of waiting for a double-dip, ala Fox/Sony.

Fincher may have it in his deal that he gets creative control on the DVD release. I wouldn't say a 3-disc set but I think he could indeed get a 2-disc set with a couple of commentaries. I think they'll probably have to put he and Graysmith on one track and then the other one can be the cast track though.

Well, hopefully it's distributed by Paramount because Warner has been leaving audio commentaries off. Either way, I'm sure they'll release a 1-disc barebones and a 2-disc with special features (like MI3).

*That* would be an awesome feature.

Since it's Paramount I will expect:
1. Single disc barebones edition with maybe a trailer
2. 2-disc Collector's edition with lots of extras

I predict a bare-bones release with a SE somewhere down the line.

Here's a wet dream for you, Zodiac gets released in your 3 disc format, with the next instalment of the Director's label getting released the same day, of course with David Fincher's collectio. One can dream can't he....

Fincher has been offered a Directors Label release and he turned them down.
There's so many of his videos and commercials that he isn't exactly proud of that it wouldn't warrant a full DVD release.
