Any word if this will be a director's/extended cut release? All I've read about the theatrical cut is that it was butchered by Fox with little to no input from the director on the changes made.

I would doubt that the "unrated cut" is really a "Director's Cut". Most likely they've just added a few extra bits of violence here and there, leaving the major problems with the movie unsolved.

Wow. I hope not. This film looked promising but all the bad press and stories of studio meddling kept me away. I was hoping to finally see it but if it's just gonna be a more violent crappy cut...
