An article in the most recent Empire Magazine about Ridley Scott's plans for the EE DVD for KOH:
"MORE KINGDOM TO COME"
Kingdom Of Heaven to be blessed with regal 4 disc Director's Cut Special Edition....
Even though Kingdom Of Heaven ran to a weighty 2 hours and 24 minutes, Empire staggered out of Ridley Scott's latest hack-and-slash epic practically crying: "A director's cut! A director's cut! My kingdom for a director's cut!"
With key characters cut back to walk-on status, important themes left unexplored, and chunks of the story given short thrift, our reviewer was left asking if there were a longer, better film in Scott's material.
The answer it seems, is yes, as a Director's Cut will appear on a 4 disc Special Edition set for a likely in-time-for-Christmas release later this year, with a 2 disc theatrical cut dur around September. According to Remote Control's sources at Fox and Scott Free (Ridley's production house), the yardstick for these two Kingdom DVD releases will be the Lord Of The Rings movies. So, for the initial double-disc version, we can expect a bunch of featurettes and behind-the-scenes footage, with the heavenly features - several commentaries and the hallowed director's cut - held back for the 4 disc follow-up.
The extended cut is likely to expand the running time by "around an hour", Ridley Scott told Remote Control recently. Apparently Sir Rid initially turned in a whopping first cut of around the 5 hour mark, but the logistics of scoring more music, inserting more effects and dubbing more dialogue would have inflated the budget by a prohibitive $10 million or so.
Among the material Scott told us to expect are extended scenes set back in France featuring Michael Sheen's dodgy priest. Also, we can expect a sword fight between Orlando Bloom's Balian and Marton Csokas' Guy de Lusignan that Jeremy Irons described to us as "amazing". The word on set was that Fox is hoping for a global box office returns of about $500 million. And it's a sign of the home entertainment-obsessed times that the studio is looking to recoup the same - if not more - from DVD sales."
說scott 大導準備出兩套不同的koh dvd，一套是電影版的，大概會在9/10 月推出; 另一套是導演版的.........四碟裝(與lotr 一樣兩只是導演加長版、另兩只是幕後花絮)，加長導演版將是接近五個鐘的電影.......wow[em06][em06]這個會在12月聖誕前推出[em06][em07] |
