I'm hearing alot about scenes being removed from the movie (some of which were in the trailers) and was wondering if there's going to be a Directors cut? Any Word?
Will there be a ''Director's cut'' of STAR TREK?
- Thread starter miraclefan
- Start date
How do you know the theatrical cut ISN'T the Director's Cut?
Just because scenes were filmed that didn't make the final cut of the movie doesn't mean that the film as presented isn't JJ's vision.

Director's Cut, as explained by WIKI! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directors_Cut Okay then, how about an ''Extended Cut''?
agreed.
I'm all for an extended cut. If there are deleted scenes, I'd prefer them to be back in the film.
Why? Editing exists for a purpose. I much prefer a coherent narrative over a "everything but the kitchen sink" "cut" just so it can be longer. Sometimes extra material can enhance a film (Kingdom of Heaven profited greatly from the extensive extra material) and sometimes it can simply bog the film down (Amadeus is still alright in its lengthier cut but the theatrical cut was far tauter and was better for it). And after viewing the 'deleted scenes' for many films (thanks to DVD), I've found that most of them were best left on the cutting room floor.
Because some people would prefer to see both versions and decide for themselves whether what was edited out was important or not
Yeah. It would be something like 45 seconds of Nero picking his nose to make it the "unrated extended cut. LOL

Vice Admiral
It's the edited scene of Scotty f*cking a barnyard animal, "I like this sheep, it's excitin'!!"
I think the people that made the movie should be the ones who get to decide what goes into or what gets taken out of their movie.
If the director wants to create an alternate cut, then go for it.
But if it's just a studio marketing driven "extended cut" created to sell a few more DVDs, then I'd rather not.
More does not always equal better. Some director's cuts are actually shorter.
Just put any cut scenes in a deleted scenes section.

If the deleted scenes of XI are anything like those from Nemesis, I'd definitely want to see them restored to the movie.
It has been mentioned that the whole chunk about the Klingons had been cut in order to avoid confusion. I don't think it would confuse me at all! Let's see it!

Never underestimate the power of a fandom's sense of self-entitlement.
With the way Paramount works, we'll get the initial DVD/Blu-ray release with the deleted scenes in, then the Blu-ray release with the option for deleted scenes (more of which will have been found) to be in or out of the film, then the same thing with a few more interviews to coincide with the Star Trek XI DVD/Blu-ray release.
An extended cut is something the director should choose to do.
Personally, i prefere a film that isnt an extended cut, thats just me.
I'd like it better if it were just added to the features.

Well tough shit for "some people". "Some people" didn't make the movie. The filmmakers did. And the filmmakers should be the ONLY ones who decide whether an alternate cut is made available. IF such an alternative is available, then great. But "some people" are not more qualified than the filmmakers themselves to decide what was important to a film. I have no problem with filmmakers making the option available if they wish--I have a problem with "some people" thinking it is their "right" to have an alternate cut. "Some people" are not OWED anything by the filmmakers beyond what the filmmakers choose to make available. The sooner "some people" learn that, the better.
Why not? I have the set for Blade Runner. It was done with the filmmaker's blessing. Nothing wrong with that at all. However, it was not done because the filmmaker thought he "owed it" to the fans. It was done because he felt comfortable with providing alternative takes on his creation. That is as it should be. The issue is not whether more or less material should be available. The issue is who gets to decide how it is presented and how much of it is available. That should be solely the purview of the filmmakers. It should NOT be from a sense of entitlement on the part of "the fans".
