Kind of odd they'd leak word about the special edition before the original was released.

Oh well, I've already pre-ordered from Columbia House. I like the movie so much, I can see myself double-dipping in the future for the SE.

I haven't seen it and now with this news, I'll wait. Maybe I'll :gasp: rent the upcoming disc and then wait to buy the new one. Seems kinda dumb to buy the barebones when I know about the 2-disc.

I was under the impression that the bare bones version is the only one that will have the theatrical cut.

Well, the theatrical version is supposed to be only on the bare-bones edition.

Unless it's a case like Léon: The Professional or Kingdom Of Heaven, where the DC is such a large improvement that the theatrical cut isn't needed, some completists (such as myself) might pick up the bare-bones version just for the theatrical cut.

I'll get the one-disc for now 'cause I think Zodiac is Fincher's best movie.

Look at the new cover art, it's saying "buy me."

Fincher said in interviews around the time of Zodiac's release that he agreed to trim the movie down to two hours and thirty-some minutes to satisfy the studio, but that his preferred version ran close to three hours. I am guessing that is the version we'll see in the S.E., which should also come loaded with extras.

Exactly why I'll wait. I want to director's version, not the studio cut. Especially when it comes to a Fincher film.

I'll be buying both. This is too good a movie to wait until next year.

^ Yep, we've been talking about this in the thread TomOpus just linked. And David Prior, who is producing the DC has made several comments about it in that thread (he is the one who informed us the theatrical cut is available only with the barebones version). You just might want to give it a look.

I am actually considering getting both versions (namely because I can't wait til 2008, but also because this became one of my favorite films of all-time after I saw it just one time in the theater, so I need to be a completist with this one!).

It's coming out in January so you guys won't have to wait too long.

Can't wait for January. Let's just hope the SE ed. is Fincher's Cut. I really would want an excellent cover art this time coz I think the barebones ed. has a crappy one.

Is this movie any good?

It's better than good. It's great.

It's my favorite Fincher film too and I'll probably be picking up both releases to have both cuts.

Well, I haven't seen Panic Room, but it's my favorite Fincher movie of the ones I've seen... by far (including Seven and Fight Club).

Whoa, I might have to wait for the 2 Disc after all.

I'm picking up the theatrical version since it seems the director's cut won't also include that version.

Yep, will definitely wait for the 2 disk.

It would make to much sense if they released the 2 disc edition on the same day as the bare-bones 1 disc edition.

Will definitely be holding out for this version.

I loved this film. I'll probably hold out for this version as I don't need to have both versions of the film.

Zodiac has become my favorite movie of all time now.i've seen it twice on the big screen and i plan to see if for even more if they don't pull it off theatres in here...

would'nt be cool if they released a 3-disc set with both versions? i'll definitly buy both versions but i'll wait for the price drop,unless the barebone disc has a slipcase,i'll buy it now...so please to those who got it...tell us!
