Awesome :)

Awesome indeed!

Can't wait to see wha the action figure looks like.

Some don't but I like these gift boxes. Yeah, I'm sucker :)

Me to, I enjoy the figures/items just as much as I do the movies :) Can't wait for this one even though I have the regular one coming today or tomorrow.

Fantastic! :up:

Not sure if i'll upgrade. Depends on how much better the DC is.

Just picked up the 2-Disc and wanted to let ya'll know that the 2-Disc Theatrical has a $5 Rebate for the Directors Cut...it also does not mention that it will have the same extras has the 2-Disc...I will probably keep both...

Great news :thumbsup:

Just Awesome! Love the comic style cover!

Yeah, baby, yeah!!!!

Does it give any clues to what the extra's will be for the DC dvd?

WOW, thats sooner than I thought. Most excellent.

It just mentions "Discs of features" the new DC, commentary, and the figurine...which looks f**kin awesome! It'll probably be around the size of the Monster Legacy busts...

I just finished the movie...and wow! This is a Reference DVD all the way...incredibly sharp and detailed video and bombastic and subtle audio...I highly doubt even a superbit could get much better than this...and you just know theres gonna be one down the pike...

after just having watched the movie for a second time...I really dont know how a DC would improve upon this...to me...this is a perfect film...perfect pace...incredible action...characters etc...its all balanced perfectly...hope the DC doesnt make it feel bloated...

Will the DC also include the Theatrical cut of the film?

No.

Any pics of the figure for the collector's set?

My video interview with Guillermo is now online here:
http://ugo.com/channels/filmTv/exclu...rticleID=12190

He talks about special features on the Director's Cut, including the new commentary track (as well as Hellboy 2).

the cover art looks great.

the choices, the choices. I was thinking about picking up that directors cut, but now I'm debating whether or not to pick up that 2 disc thats out now.

BJacks - Nice job with that! He's the coolest....

Thank you so much for posting the info! I'm such a sucker for this film I'll probably end up getting the gift set, even though I usually get the cheaper editions. They did such an amazing job with just the theatrical cut DVD, I can't wait to see this.

Hey man that's the the video! I watched HB today and I got to say I liked it even more the second time. Looking forward for HB:DC and HB2!

Will the DC also include the extras from the current 2-disc?

that is not made clear...so Im gonna probably keep this 2-Disc...

It's seems to be made clear here (I don't know how reliable dvddebate.com is, though):

I got my Hellboy disc Monday. I will also buy the Director's Cut in October without the action figure. I bought the gift sets of LOTR, but don't really feel like I needed to. The extras are still sitting in the boxes and I don't know what I'd ever do with them.

Looks really nice!

Link doesn't work. The website doesn't allow linking directly to a pic, I guess.

It's always good to check your links to make sure it's linkable.

The link in my post works :banana: :D

That gift set is the bees knees.

Edit: Woo hoo! 2000 posts finally...

I can't wait till this comes out. I loved Hellboy, even if the final act of the film falls apart for me.

BTW- I love the new cover!

Definitely holding off for this DVD.

I'll be getting this for sure, but not the giftset. I could just never justify paying 20 dollars more a figurine.

So, it says that it contains the same extras as the two disc. Does that mean that the commentary for the two disc will or will not be there? I haven't been able to figure that out by what I've read.

I've held out buying the two disc for the DC, and I'm just wondering if I will be missing anything buy buying the DC and not the two disc.

Guillermo said himself that he did an entirely new commentary for the DC. More indepth for the fan that wants more.

Maybe you could just borrow the 2-disc set and check out the commentary and buy the DC.

boy am i glad i decided to wait.. now that the DC will have the same extras for the most part.

So is this an expanded version or just more extras?

Well, I think the title of the thread says it all. Definitely a Director's Cut. Plus a crap load of extras :D

it's about 20 minutes longer than the theatrical cut.

This isn't available for pre-order yet, is it?
