MGM: "Disturbing Behavior" Director's Cut (1 Viewer)

[Jason_S]

Is there any chance that MGM will release a "Disturbing Behavior" Director's Cut DVD? Such a disc would have what are now just deleted scenes fully restored and placed back into the movie by director, David Nutter. In my opinion the theatrical cut is a great movie as is, and I wouldn't be posting this "petition" if I didn't think so, but the deleted scenes on the current DVD, that originate from the original director's cut, are truly excellent pieces that would only enhance the movie. So I pledge to MGM (and David Nutter) to re-release "Disturbing Behavior" in its ORIGINAL, DIRECTOR'S CUT form with all the deleted scenes from the current DVD as well as any other scenes that were in the original cut. (I especially like the original ending, which definitely fits the movie a lot more than the theatrical one.)

When can this forum expect an online chat with MGM?

I really wish the word could get to MGM to consider a director's cut of this movie. I think the studio originally had it cut to play more along the lines of the typical teen-horror flick; therefore, I don't think the theatrical version lives up to the film's true potential. Albeit, I still consider even the theatrical cut of DISTURBING BEHAVIOR to be better than the usual teen-thriller fare, and a director's cut would only elevate this movie to an even higher standard. I believe that DISTURBING BEHAVIOR could have been somewhat of a cult favorite had it been released un-cut. With a fully restored director's cut DVD, I think this movie has the potential to be more well regarded amongst not only strong fans like myself, but also mild fans who hold but a little interest.

I know the likelihood of an MGM executive seeing this post is slim, but I still want to spread the word. So anyone who agrees that MGM should release a director's cut of DISTURBING BEHAVIOR on DVD, please respond. And if you don't feel like writing out an explanation of why you'd also want such a release, just copy and paste the following into your response:

YES, I want a Director's Cut edition of DISTURBING BEHAVIOR on DVD!

There have already been 2 chats with MGM. Here are the direct links, although you can always go to the Chat Transcripts area to find all HTF chats:

May 2000
MGM has been pretty open in the past, especially considering the bashing they were taking here in the first half of the year. I would guess there's a good chance we may get to talk to them again sometime next year, although that is (of course) up to Ron, Parker & MGM.
