sometimes that is all it needs: See Daredevil director's cut and non-directors cut.

I thought Golden Compass was unwatchable for things that had nothing to do with the edit.

Golden Compass was brutal. Can't imagine a cut that's a half-hour longer.

To this day, I still can't believe "The Golden Compass" beat "Transformers" for Best Visual Effects (80th Academy Awards)

Summit is behind more than just Twilight in terms of profitable films; most recently, Knowing (bad movie, but it made solid money) and The Hurt Locker.

They also snagged rights to Red Cliff.

it's still a crappy film..but maybe a bit less of one...

Red Cliff (asumming your talking about the John Woo movie), is being distributed by Magnolia/Magnet pictures

I love TGC. The book and the movie are separate entities. That's how I look at it. I know Act II and III are reversed and the ending is missing, but I still enjoyed it as a film not an adaptation. I want to a DC if they ever do it.

And as far as Subtle Knife and Amber Spyglass, I know it's impossible this late in the game. Keep Kidman, Craig and Green if there is a reboot.

Terrible film, but I have enough free time to give a director's cut a chance if it ever happens.

Awwww, but I liked GC.

I'd heard about it being cut to hell and was dissapointed as hell that they didn't make a directors cut, or at least put some damn deleted scenes on the dvd when it came out.
