Heads-up...2 versions of Blade Trinity
Well, the film isn't in theaters yet, but Blade Trinity's director, David Goyer, is saying that he's planning on 2 versions of the last Blade film on DVD. The standard theatrical version and an 11-minute longer version with a darker alternate ending. All this from the DigitalBits' Rumor Mill. 
Question is, will there be a 10-disc box set, akin to the Matrix set? Picture it...
Oh the Horror!

Whatever they issue, I am so there! Can't get enough of Blade! The 11 minute longer version sounds very interesting. Darker is always better!

When a studio released two different versions of a movie, why can't they sell a 2 pack? For Example: "Blade Trinity - Theatrical Edition / Blade Trinity - Directors Cut" DVD 2-Pack.

Sounds good. I just hope they include a DTS ES track like the one on Blade II.

I just don't get it. Lord Of The Rings where the movies were 3 hours long, I understand that. They needed to cut stuff to keep the film length wise, as theater friendly as possible. But what's the excuse for Blade with only keeping out 11 minutes with the darker and probably the better of the endings? When the movie isn't in theaters and a director is already telling us he's gonna milk the hell out of this movie on DVD, it's really something that's getting out of hand. Such as the Spiderman 2.5. Raimi didn't really want the extra footage, but Sony insists on an extended cut for more money anyway. Complete trash. Going back to restore films to the way the director wanted them is one thing.... keeping an already confirmed director's cut out of the theaters and announcing it for DVD before the movie is even in the movie theaters, is just taking it a step too far and unfortunately, becoming way too common.

And yes, it's a Matrix joke, but hey it could happen. I can possibly see a 2-disc re-issue of Blade I in a 3-movie box set.

I know it was a joke, but I would buy a Blade 10 disc set if it was reasonable - around 50 like the Matrix set. I don't know where they would find that much extra stuff though. a six or seven disc set would be more realistic.

It would be funny if they released alternate versions in the theater. In theater 1, Blade Trinity. In theater 2, Blade Trinity Director's Cut with scenes not shown in Theater 1. Of course sometimes they release director's cuts to theaters years after the original releases (Star Wars, Alien, ET) but I don't think it's ever been done at the same time.
