I've always wanted to like this movie because I hear great things but still...yeah I don't really care for it, stylistically I find it redundant and annoying but it has moments of brilliance, perhaps this director's cut will change my mind.
way to use the Batman DVD font.
About damn time! A double dip I don't even have to think about saying yes to!
I hope they include / recorded a new Roger Ebert commentary. He always does excellent tracks, and I'v yet to hear his from the original DVD.
Yes! I'm definitely getting the Blu-Ray, this is one of those great films that is not widely known...
The original DVD cover art from before is much better, am not digging that font at all. But anyways if New Line has this coming, then am sure there is a Final Destination somewhere in the works for a BD release. :crossing fingers:
Final Destination Director's Cut (if there is any) on BD would be sweet.

Any news on the Region 2 release date? Or do we have to wait ages again like we did for others like this? Such as Sin City, AvP, Big, Con Air etc.

not sure about a director's cut but with Part 4 coming this year, i'm sure the original 3 will be re-released and also released on blu-ray.

yes, i was thinking the same about the "Batman Anthology" font....
i would've liked the cover a whole lot more without the giant bald dude.

Not sure about the artwork....kinda bright for a film called DARK City! I loved this movie, the original "Platinum Edition" was a great DVD with two great commentaries and it's been around $5 for years now. If the Director's Cut is actually more than 2 minutes longer than the theatrical version I'll pick it up.
Always loved this film, definitely will pick this up if this is a true director's cut. Now they just need to get the personal strifes settled over at Dimension and get a director's cut of Proyas' best film to date, The Crow.
YES!!! I have been torturing myself for years as I pass by the cheap barabones Dark City in hopes that one day the rumored DC would come out, man I am so glad I waited! this film is a work of art!
I had the original release in a snapper case, and within the past six months I re-bought that release in an amaray case. I wouldn't have done it if I'd known this was coming out. I might hold on to both copies of the film when I do finally pick this up.
Great film. Very glad to see this coming to blu-ray. The artwork is atrocious, though!

EIV own the UK rights, so sadly the wait will probably be a long one.

About fricking time.
Highres artwork added
Artwork is good but that font sucks. Great Movie, and may push me to dive into blu-ray. You can always count on new line to have great audio/video on their discs. Well this and Back to the Future which is rumored to be in the works for next year.
Didn't know there was a director's cut.
i never knew there was a director's cut as well, but i will be adding this too my collection
According to another site, there are three commentaries included and the directors cut runs an additional 15 minutes in length (96m vs 111m).
Yet another website that interviewed David Goyer had him saying that he was interviewed for an extensive, hour-long documentary for this release as well.

movie sucked, sry.
WOOOT! Been waiting :D
I saw Alex Proyas a the Sitges Film Festival last year (October 2007) and he mentioned this as a lot of people asked as it has been a long time coming. The have redone some of the special effects and the additions to the movie (and a little removal) have made the film quite different and true to his original vision. I can´t wait for this.

been waiting to see this movie and glad i can now watch it in high-def for my first viewing...
Director's Cut??? DIRECTOR'S CUT??? Count me in!! This is one of my favorite sci-fi movies in the last decade, and I wasn't even aware Proyas had a director's cut planned for this film. Absolutely cannot wait and will totally double dip on this one.
Oh, and that's some supremely awesome artwork, by the way.

I'm impressed and surprised by this release. Pre-word buzz has it that they re-did the visual effects and completely re-did the music score. "Dark City" was one of the very first DVDs I purchased 10 years ago now (wow, was it that long?!) and though that version did have some extras, and was at the cutting edge at the time, it is now time to give the film a Special Edition the likes of which are now possible. The cover art is interesting and a radically different direction than the previous cover yet I still like it. Except for the old man - his placement kind of ruins the symmetry but overall, I like it. I certainly hope this is at least a 2-Discer! Definitely picking this one up.

He sure did, he has mentioned tons of times that he has been reworking Dark City for years to get it the way he wanted it, and not the studio.
He also mentioned he reshot alot of stuff on the special effects front. He didn't have the budget to have he SPFX cleaned up back then nor the time, but he has since finally been able to reshoot alot of stuff the way he wanted....this will truly be a dignified directors cut, not a cash in. This is something hes wanted to do since this movie first came out.

I doubt it's going to happen, but I do hope they change the font!
