halloween II (2009) 01/12/10
videoeta is now officially listing the movie for that date:
http://videoeta.com/movie/111594
just about 2 weeks ago rob zombie mentioned on his twitter account that he just finished his directors cut version of the film.
videoeta states 101 min as the dvd runtime, whereas imdb lists the theatrical runtime at 105 min!
could this indicate that the directors cut is trimmed down!?
anyhow, i guess we will have to wait for another studio announcement
to see what versions and at what length will actually be released.

I was just stating it for the people who may care. Don't worry - the DVD will likely have all the Special Features as the Blu-ray.

Just because a director's cut is shorter doesn't mean it was cut down. There are TONES of director's cuts that are shorter than the theatricals cuts. The director cuts parts out and adds other parts. So sometimes in doing this it gets a few minutes shorter. But in the end we are getting (usually) a better film because the fluff is gone and the fun is added.

Um, yes it does.
but we all know this film could benefit from a few snips here and there, and there, and there.....
I still enjoyed it somewhat. Some of the killings were brutal, and awesome. Will be keeping an eye out for the details.

Again, it is all symantics anyway with no one clear single interpretation.

While it is all symantics, I'll have to agree with dkedvd on this one. I think of cut-down in this case as implying less then the original in content or a subset of the original. If all you did was remove then it would be cut-down. However, if in the process you add new content not in the original, regardless of whether you take any away, it is no longer a cut-down version but just a different version. In other words, by having new content it is no longer a subset of the original.
Again, it is all symantics anyway with no one clear single interpretation.

Don't quote me on this, but I've heard it's going to have a 6+ hour making-of doc.
Oh, and it's SEMANTICS, Symatic is some software company.

good news is that the unrated cut will be released as well, unfortunately
rated and unrated will be two seperate releases.

bad karma i guess
with their release policies and how many directors`versions they butchered
according to their likes, their means seem to be catching up with them...

I noticed recently that Sony's been releasing Dimension backtitles like the Scream trilogy 3-pack and From Dusk til Dawn 3-pack. Cover art maintains Dimension look however outer box is uniquely Sony.

read: "uniquely cheap". Though I came close to getting that Scream trilogy, though Sony would never enhance the title for widescreen tvs!

It appears as the unrated version has been cancelled. All retailers no longer have it for pre order. Hopefuly it means they are including both versions on the same disc.

^ It could be, but Sony doesnt do that, unlike Warner Bros , who loves to disapoint its consumers and make less profits.

2010 is a new year and Sony might change their strategies. It'll be like this soon enough and they try and get people to dump DVD for Blu-ray.
