Daredevil Director's Cut in April (1 Viewer)

[Ray H]

Nice to see a possible date, but I don't think I need another DVD to buy this fall/winter.

 

[Robert Anthony]

I dunno..I see it being pushed back to Elektra's date. It did well, but I think it's pretty much fallen out of the public eye at this point. They'll want to piggyback it on theatrical advertising for maximum exposure, I'd think.

 

[Sven Lorenz]

Elektra will be released on January 15.

November 30 is only six weeks earlier - so I doubt that it will be pushed back any further.

I'm sure they'll include a free ticket for Elektra and put some Elektra commercials on it.

I'm really hoping for a Affleck/Garner commentary - both of them have made very enjoyable commentaries in the past.

 

[Ray H]

I wouldn't expect one from Affleck. He's said he wouldn't do a sequel unless his career was in a rot. Well, it actually kinda is, but what I'm trying to say is he doesn't think too highly of the film. But then again he's recorded commentaries for worse.

 

[Sven Lorenz]

He is doing a cameo in Elektra - so he doesn't seem to have that much of a problem with the movie.

Maybe he's doing the cameo just because he's dating Jennifer Garner if rumors are true.

I'd love to hear him on a commentary for the film.

 

[David Illingworth II]

Can't wait for this one! I still love the original.

 

[Robert Ringwald]

I thought Jennifer was dating her ALIAS co-star for a while? Did that end or what?

 

[Sven Lorenz]

Those Affleck/Garner rumours are pretty old.

It just seems to be that Jennifer Garner is such a nice person that nobody can deny her anything if she asks for it - I've read that both Affleck and Farrell are coming back for a cameo just because she asked them to.

 

[Ray H]

I get all my gossip from IMDB and according to them, Jennifer and Michael broke up.

 

[Mark-C]

Garner did an interview for the Sunday Times magazine last week and she said that the reports she has broken up with Vartan were false.

It's offical.

Nice. Good to see that it's not repeating any of the 2-disc set's extras, although listening to Johnson talk about himself being 'the only one who could make this film' again doesn't thrill me.

 

[oscar_merkx]

yes very good news that the only extras are the 20 min or so.

Good that the original 2 disc ed will be available as well

I'll be buying both

 

[Paul Strilka]

It is a shame there is no Affleck commentary. His commentaries for the Kevin Smith films are great.
It'll never happen, but I'd love to hear a Kevin and Ben commentary on this film.

 

[Drew Reiber]

although listening to Johnson talk about himself being 'the only one who could make this film' again doesn't thrill me.

Except that it's probably true. Not counting people's preferences or what they expected to see, this film probably never would have happened if it wasn't for Johnson's nearly-obsessive diligence in putting up with all the crap to get it into production (years, 20 drafts, scary producer "ideas", etc).

 

[Adam_ME]

Nice job by Fox. It retains the DTS track, doesn't recycle any extras from the 2-disc SE, and has an attractive low price of 20 bucks. I wasn't a big fan of Daredevil, but I may give this one a look, especially if it's an R-rated cut.

 

[Jim Barg]

Oh, I know. It's just when I look at the film today, there are some sequences ripped out of the comics verbatim (Elektra/Bullseye, Matt in the hospital) alongside some silly changes that no self-respecting DD fan would have put in the film (DD letting a guy die, Elektra and Matt's first meeting). It makes for a frustrating watch. Still, I'll pick this up just to see if 20 minutes can make a difference...

 

[Sven Lorenz]

It's actually a lot more than 20 minutes. Several scenes will be cut (like the Matt/Elektra love scene, the confessional scenes and a few others) The DC will be 20 minutes longer but I've read that there will be over 30 minutes of new material.

 

[Jim Barg]

Well then, I will definitely pick this up...
