how is there a release date for this it just got in theaters friday ???

There definitely should be a Director's Cut edition coming out. The workprint and theatrical versions were very different.

Just found out that I have a theatre right around the corner from me that has digital, so I was lucky to view it that way. It was a pretty good film, gory as hell, sometimes over the top...but that's Zombie for you!

Haha, you know I was actually semi-expecting this to either be on Disc for this Halloween (a la bare bones) or Disney holding it till next year. We'll probably get a 1-discer for xmas, and then a better set next halloween (or in time for the sequel you know they've put in development).

HAH! Good luck, and don't hold your breath, you're talking about Rob Zombie, the slowest sloth on earth when it comes to releasing stuff, whether he's already promised it's coming or not.

Please let there be a director's cut.

Rob Zombie did mention that he plans putting a "Director's Cut" out there. Of course, the doesn't mean much, but, in this case, it seriously needs to pan out with this film.

This movie is not complete as it, and still needs work. A "Director's Cut" might be able to salvage some of it.

And I prefer it be released right away on DVD -- I don't really want to wait a year or for something that never happens. Zombie needs to put it together now before his next projects. Basically, it should be the "officially" released DVD release that people see when it hits DVD.

But don't expect an even bloodier "director's cut" — maybe that should be "director's slash" — when Halloween comes out on DVD.

"There will probably be a director's cut but not necessarily based upon violence," Zombie said recently.

AllHallowsEve

I also really question that release date because nothing official has been stated yet. That's probably just a temp. date that website threw up there.

If this were official, this news would be plastered all over the place at horror sites, etc.

EdTheRipper

I'm inclined to believe the same thing.

what about HD?

What about Bob?

Yeah what about Bob? he works in accounting right!

shyguy1083

seriously. from what i can recall, that would be the quickest announcement of a dvd release following theatrical release i've ever heard. maybe in the near future, they'll disclose the theatrical and dvd release dates at the same time... one-sheets saying "in theaters december 07, on dvd march 08" or something like that

critterdvd

This being MGM/Disney I'd assume a Blu-Ray will be released day/date...

nateman

Naturally I’ll be getting this, because I want to see for myself if it’s good or not. I expect that the release date mostly likely will change though; December 18th is pretty close considering it was just released in theatres this past weekend.

Giles

did the MPAA force any cuts due to violence for the theatrical R-rated version?

Steve Phillips

Unless Weinstein becomes neutral, this one will be an HD DVD exclusive. MGM only has US theatrical rights, but Weinstein controls the video release.

ScissorPuppy

Disney is no longer involed with Weinstein productions, which involves any current Dimension films releases. I do belive Disney owns the entire Miramax/Dimension back catlog and miramax name, but somehow the Weinsteins were allowed to keep the Dimension name. I think Weinsteins support HD DVD, Not sure.

mzupeman2

It wouldn't surprise me to know this date is legit anywho, it's just about four months time from release, and just in time for Christmas.

NitroJMS

I really wouldn't be surprised to see this get bumped to 10/30/07 if the box office starts sinking like a stone in a week or two.

mzupeman2

They won't have it out that fast. For horror standards, it's done well already. Horror movies don't stick around in theaters very long anyways.

Mod note: The whole post was essentially a so it was removed. Please don't spoil movies, even if you think they were the worst of the year, and if you think it is you shouldn't be posting here in the first place

Seantn

Cranberries Fan - I'd spoiler tag that, that's not cool. I didn't like the movie either, but you shouldn't spoil it for people, especially in a thread that's just about the DVD release. (plus, it's 2007, not 2008)

It's not MGM/Disney... it's MGM/Weinstein.


Weinstein partners with MGM for theatrical releases. MGM handles theatrical distribution and Weinstein handles home video. Weinstein is currently HD DVD exclusive... although they haven't released/announced any titles since June.
