Isn't it usually a dead giveaway when it's called "extended edition" and not "director's cut"?

I loved this film. I think it to be Malick's greatest effort (closely followed by The Thin Red Line). Days of Heaven was definitely his most beautiful, but the story was terribly cliche. Badlands was a step above. Still, Malick is a genius. I cant wait for "Tree of Life".

you should rephrase and say young woman because she was just 15yrs old when they made this...crazy huh...next time you watch it, realize colin is making out with a 15yr old...go hollywood.

Ha! I didn't realize that. That is crazy. Colin Farrell is a pedophile. Just kidding.

I'm just going to go ahead an ignore all the idiots who call this movie boring.

But... does anyone know if this version is, indeed, longer than the original theatrical version (ie. the version that played in like 2 or 3 theatres before going wide). That was the only version I saw, and I loved it. Seen little bits of it on HBO since then, but I didn't really want to watch the whole "shortened" version.

Happy to see a (hopefully) more cerebral version of the flick come to DVD. Would be nice for the original theatrical version to surface, as well.

And for those looking for a longer cut of "The Thin Red Line"... I wouldn't hold your breath. I think Malick is pretty satisfied with the final version. It only took him like a year to put that cut together... I seriously doubt he'd want to go for a new cut.

Here's hoping for more Malick! Any word on that adaptation of "Tartuffe" he was talking about a decade or so ago?

To whoever wrote that the Narnia sequel was boring, I highly disagree. It was one of the best fantasy films I've seen in a while. And, yeah, while The New World was nowhere near being a bad film, it was quite sluggish and boring.

Highres artwork added

HOLY C**P!  The movie was longer?!?!?  That is a terrible thing!  This movie was terrible.  I do not care how pretty the shooting was.  If the movie is boring and not entertaining in the least, it is not a good movie.  I bought this blind, watched it, then donated it to the local school history department.  I hope they use it more than I did.

yyyyyyussssss.

by the way, y'all. this 10 part documentary was also on the first dvd. it's nothing special. some funny stories by Christian Bale though.

Oh wow- excellent news.  I walked into this movie not knowing at all what to expect, and it completely blew me away.  It's one of those movies that I could pop in the player, start it up at any point, and be completely transported.

That said- I'm excited about this, but also have reservations because the first cut was so good.  I'll be picking this one up anyways, though.  

Not crazy about the artwork.  If they're going to go to the trouble of releasing an extended cut of a movie that's not exactly commercial fodder in the first place, why not go with something a little more... oh, Criterion-ish?

I love the fact that they used the exclusive Best Buy art for the extended edition.

Really fantastic film. I've been waiting for a new version of the flick since the first one was announced, but now that Blu-Ray is a standard, they simply MUST press an HD version.

Really  is this nesecary WB annouce The Matrix trilogy  on blu ray alredy

I wish they would have used new artwork...and that Criterion released this, but I'm still completely sold. This is one of my favorite films of the 2000s, and Malick is a visionary genious.

Can't wait. This was announced 2 years ago and is finally coming out.

I hope this is a 2 disc set though, as I assume a "10 part documentary" won't be a fluff piece and considering the movie is 172 minutes...

I loved the flick, so I'm sold.

I've added an advert with some artwork

I wanted to see this movie when it came out, I never got around to buying the DVD so I will just pick this one up

I've heard that the theatrical version is actually superior to this longer cut (that is, if this is the original version Malick first screened before the trimming it down for the wide release.) Still, I'm intrigued. It just might be worth an upgrade.

How about a Blu-ray release, this movie screams for it. The scenery and locations were beautiful. Pretty good movie and im interested to see what has been added, but i'll wait for Blu.

Malick is one of my favorite directors of all time.The cinematography of his films is so beautiful and breath taking. Also the stories are also quite deep and entrancing. About time the Extended cut came out!!!Sold! One of my favorite film of 05 too.

It's a good film, but there's no way I'd go back and watch it more than once.
