Final Cut (1 Viewer)

Contractually if a director has "final cut" does this mean the theatrical release is the director's cut?

 

[Dan Rudolph]

Not necessarily. There may be rating requirements in the contract as well that override this.

Unless I was hallucinating The Dreamers was released as an uncut, NC-17 rated film.

The article was written around November of last year (see the link). I believe the conflict over The Dreamers wasn't resolved until shortly before its early 2004 release here in the U.S..
