I would imagine that Sony is now offering this version to any outlets screening the film going forward (the Director's Cut). The extended version is and will be exclusive to the BluRay. Hunt is very modest about such things.

We must be thinking of different folks. Feel free to pm me if you like.

I don't think it's an insider if they didn't know the right name of the song. Anyway I corrected their mis information attempt

I didn't know there was a 2010 DVD release.

I'll beg to differ with Bruce about the shots, I think there are a wealth of masterful moving shots that tell the story in a really powerful way. And Hunt had studied film a good deal before shooting so he wasn't totally green to what he wanted to accomplish. Just as any film there is good and...

There's also a little Ben dancing around in Lees and But Mr. Adams. Just a little. Mike, the shot you mention was probably an attempt to keep to the general plan of doing things in one shot when possible. I can for sure tell you that the stuff in the park was the first stuff Peter ever filmed...

Glad you'll give it a chance again. The blu ray looks as good as this film can - must remember it's anamorphic lenses of the 70s on slower film stock. The film becomes far more dramatic in the lighting as it goes on and that's by design and some of the intricate camera moves are incredibly...

Noel, have you seen 1776?

This reminds me of an old saying, you have to know the rules before you can break them. In creative endeavors I think you can say there are principles more than rules to how things can work. The case of this underscoring was one that initially I agreed with you on. I felt both that and the...

I haven't gotten my hands on the final copy of the disc, but I believe there is both a deleted scenes section that includes these pieces (along with commentary by Peter Hunt) as well as a branching option where you can view EITHER cut at your discretion. If you like the DVD this will be even...

The DCP was actually created previously to the Blu-Ray. It screened as a test last July when it was about 95% done at the annual July 4th showing for the American Cinematheque here in LA, and then the final version premiered at the TCM Festival at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood this March...

Oh absolutely they will. I'll just have McNair get them another rum.

That is me in the photo. In addition to being a filmmaker myself, I work with Peter Hunt and was honored to be involved in helping the team building the restoration and BD release . The three stars of the commentary were gracious enough to let me have that photo taken, and Mr. Harris asked if it...

Apologies, I should remember that trying to use RAH type wit is dangerous in the hands of amateurs... Unfortunately you perhaps bore the brunt of if not the King's tyranny those who are less magnanimous than yourself on this topic ;)

For those who are curious about the differences between this extended BD version and the previous DVD, this is what I recall off the top of my head: Complete version of Piddle Twiddle restored Lee's Reprise restored Underscore restored to scene of Franklin being painted Replaced with...

Let me try to finally clear up some misconceptions. First of all, the Laserdisc cut is not 180 minutes. If you look at your packaging, it states that is an approximate time. I've just gone back and checked all these numbers, the exact time of the laserdisc is: 2:57:40, or 177 minutes and 40...
