Re: "Dark City: Director's Cut" coming to Blu-ray on July 29
By the way, I *think* I love the cover art--it seems quite evocative and striking--but what precisely am I looking at? I don't recall either the machine head or the spread-eagled figure from the film; have I just gone and embarassed myself by betraying how long it's been since I've watched the film?

I'm with you there, and I'm hoping it doesn't signal some large departure from the original content. That would be bad.
I'm hoping that some "insider" who has at least a few details about this cut of the film, and this Blu-ray presentation, will come forward, even if it's partial and unofficial. Anybody out there? |

The phrase Includes never-before-seen-version of the film implies that there is another version (presumably the original) also included.
This is excellent news. I'm hoping that this is region-free as it's a back catalog release. We're getting right royally shafted in Europe (i.e. Region B) with the return of region coding. |

Apparently they’ve re-scored the film too. Also looks like there might be a limited theatrical re-release. You can read the David Goyer interview here: BD Horror News - David Goyer Talks New 'Dark City' Release!

I don't know that I'd read that much into it. If it said "Also includes" then maybe.

I agree. Honestly, I think anyone expecting to get both versions on this release is dreaming. If so, prepare to be disappointed. |

Re: "Dark City: Director's Cut" coming to Blu-ray on July 29
Bill just updated on this set and from how he quotes the press release, it looks like it will have both cuts of the film...
