I have looked at both dvdanswers and davisdvd and can't find an answer to this. Does anyone have a break-down of which extras will be on which disc of the new 2-Disc Trainspotting DVD? I know the commentary will be on disc 1, but I am unsure about everything else.

Not to be a jerk or anything, but why does it really matter what disc the extras are on?

For what it's worth, here's the specs on the R2/PAL 2-disc set:

DISC ONE
Full, uncut version of the film
Audio commentary by director Danny Boyle, producer Andrew MacDonald, screenwriter John Hodge and actor Ewan McGregor
9 deleted scenes with optional director's commentary and accessible separately or from the film via a "white rabbit" feature
"The Beginning" featurette

DISC TWO
Retrospective:
- "Look Of The Film: Then & Now"
- "Sound Of The Film: Then & Now"

2. Start up Disc 2 and select Retrospective. Select interviews and start the Danny Boyle interview. An invisible button will appear when he refers to an article that Muriel Gray wrote. Hit enter and it will bring up the articles and reviews from 1996.

Oh. So it's finally coming out. I remember way back in '98 when it was just a rumor...

They have not said if the R1 SE is gonna have the uncut version have they? If not, then the R2 seems to still be the one to get.

well if the disc is the unrated cut:

Then goodbye

Criterion laserdisc and Canadian DVD editions.

From DavisDVD...

"Please be aware that this version is still the 94 minute cut, only with the few seconds of "racy" footage (removed for the MPAA) and un-dubbed Scottish brogue restored as in the Criterion laserdisc and previous Buena Vista DVD versions."

Personally, I'm all over this one for the new anamorphic transfer... I could really care less about the extras.

I thought Miramax doesn't do unrated cuts stateside....that's why we don't have Scream uncut,and others here in the states.

When Disney acquired Miramax, the days of unrated theatrical and video releases were over...

damn you Disney!

The "Unrated" version is the reason I wanna know. I plan on keeping my Canadian SE and just swapping it with Disc 1 of the new 2-Discer if i'm not losing any "good" extras.

Yeah, I wonder if the Canadian version will be a carbon copy of the UK/Aussie versions. I have the Aussie version and it is DA BOMB!

hmm, amazon lists this as a "directors cut". and since we are 2 weeks away from this release, anyone know the full specs yet? This will be a blind buy for me.

Is this right: the current Canadian version is uncut? and the new one will be cut?

Cool! I read and liked the sequel book, but didn't know that the same team was working on the film adaptation.

So, does that mean when Harvey buys Miramax back, we'll get a DVD of "54" with all the material that was cut put back in the movie?

Well, BVHV is releasing an "Unrated" version of Bad Santa this year, so it's not like there's a LAW about releasing unrated films.

There was talk early on about releasing an unrated version of Trainspotting, but instead we get this same non-theatrical cut on the previous LD and Canadian DVD version. That's fine by me.

I saw this in the theatre (twice) and thought it was brilliant. A few more seconds of violence or sex isn't going to matter much.

is it confirmed that this new release is only the theatrical version and not the extended release that is available in other regions??

The current DVD from BV is the uncut version with the original Scottish dialogue. The Canadian version is the cut version. I don't see why the cut version would be coming out in June. I think DavisDVD is wrong on this one.

When we say cut and uncut version, are we talking simply dialogue? What sorts of scenes wouldn't be in the American version?

The DVD of 54 actually has all the stuff that was cut reinserted...
Some more shots of sex (including a dark shot of Renton pulling off a condom) and 'instructive' drug use/

The shot of Renton pulling off the condom in silouette was in the theatrical version of the film.

But there was some energetic bouncing breast shots that were cut.

I started watching this last night, and thought I saw a few things I didn't remember seeing in the theater or my VHS. Can anyone give me an idea of what to look for?

oh hell yeah
