I'd be curious to know if this is a director's cut, a producer's cut or simply a let's cash in on the remake cut. There's certainly "other" footage that could have been included but it's obvious they just wanted to go with the extra gore scenes but that doesn't explain why some bits are missing. It seems like it would have been a better idea to include the original X-rated version and then a "fuller" version with the dialogue sequences back in. The "theatrical" version included is apparently cut further than the Paramount disc so I'm not sure what the point of this one was. I haven't got the disc so perhaps someone who has it can comment but the director has been giving interviews talking about an additional kill sequence, which isn't on the disc. He claims it was shot but nothing else is said. I'm curious if the footage was just too bad to use or perhaps they kept it out for another reason (perhaps the FX looked bad).
Or, I'm wondering if the eventual Blu release will contain this stuff.
