There was a rumour the US releasing company is planning for these to come out as a luxury boxset in the summer or when the Daniel Craig remake hits cinemas. The current US boxset (as they now have all 3 on BD and DVD whereas UK has to wait until April), is just there standard film versions with more limited extras than the UK releases. With the rumoured luxury boxset it was unclear whether they will be full versions of the TV longer edit or include only as deleted scenes, with the films and hopefully better extras.

I went to a Q&A with Daniel Alfredson director of films 2 and 3 and asked him about the differences between the TV and film versions. They are not straight deleted scenes as some scenes in the film are cut from the longer TV version. However should be able to do by seamless branching on BD.

Am hoping any luxury boxset will have some decent extras and HD audio (UK and US are only 5.1). Have the Danish TV and film BDs but neither has any extras beyond trailers. These are both NOT English friendly as only Scandinavian language subtitles. Okay for me as can read Danish after living there, and understand some spoken Swedish, less than Danish though.

In the UK Momentum are keeping quiet. There representative at the Q&A refused to answer my questions on their plans for the TV versions for home or cinema release. I guess they do not want to negatively impact sales of the film version DVDs and BDs if the general public are aware of plans for a later double dip with both versions. Would not see this happening even if it does in the UK much before late 2011 as the final film is not due on DVD and BD until April and they will probably want at least a 6 month gap before any new better boxset.
