Dark City: Director's Cut -- 7/29/2008

As reported over on highdefdigest.com:

'Dark City - Director's Cut' - July 29, 2008 - High-Def Digest Forums

SRP is $34.99. No word on extras, but the cover art is pretty great (strong echoes of Metropolis).

Update: The "source" link inside the post linked to above is dead; hopefully this is legit...

I was never really taken by this movie. I might have to see it again to see if my opinion has changed at all.

Is the existance of a director's cut news? This is the first I've heard of it. Does anyone know if it's significantly different?

The editing pace has been changed (the movie moves faster), and there are all new effects sequences. So, yes, this is significantly different.

While I wouldn't expect it (not least because it would require striking a second master that would match whatever more subtle tweaks and adjustments were made in the DC), it would be nice if they included the theatrical cut via seamless branching. I actually liked the leisurely pace (and, at times, slightly hokey SFX, which I felt served the story well) of the original cut, but I'm not going to hold my breath for its ever making it to BR.

I just hope the director's cut takes out the horrid opening narration that basically spoils the whole movie....

Never seen it. Don't even know what it's about or who is in it.

From highdefdigest.com, specs are in -- and all good news!

Specs, Box Art Revealed for 'Dark City' Blu-ray | High-Def Digest

The short of things: BD-50, VC-1 encode, DTS-HD 7.1, Theatrical AND Director's cut (seamless branching), all original DVD supplements (including the Ebert commentary) plus additional commentaries (including Proyas, Goyer, and others) and other new extras.

Holy shit. As with DVD, New Line knows how to get it right and then some.

Yeah, now if they can pick up the pace a bit with the same level of consistency quality transfers.....

Hate the new box art, but I am so glad to see their including the original theatrical version also. I hear the dir cut changes the tone and or pacing, which is always 50/50.
