Interesting that people are willing to give J.J. Abrams so much latitude on this, but scream bloody murder at the Star Wars Special Editions.
Will there be a ''Director's cut'' of STAR TREK?

I'm not one of the screamers. I don't always agree with the choices filmmakers make ("Hans shoots first!"

) but I will defend their rights to do what they wish with their creations. It is always my preference that an original theatrical cut be available (as I would very much like in the case of Amadeus and JFK--the latter would be very helpful for my research interests) but I also know that I am owed nothing from the creators of any work of art--popular or fine. I am free to decide how to respond to what they make available--that is the extent of my "rights" in the matter. Too many cases exist where creators are not able to maintain their vision as they see fit for me to begrudge those instances where they do have that ability, even if their ultimate choices disappoint me.
How about this; they give us a choice.
No, no! We're not intelligent enough to make a choice! This is art we're talking about! ART!
I tend to like it if a DVD comes with both a theatrical cut and an extended cut. That way, my curiosity is satisfied but I still have the abreviated version. Either might be arguably better.
. Has anybody even seen the movie, yet?
I'm with that. I like both versions of the Lord of the Rings movies.
A lot of times removed scenes from movies were never completed- no sound or incomplete SFX work.
I always enjoyed the deleted scenes on the DVD special features- they do not need to be integrated into ths film.
IMO one of the best 'Directors Cut' version was "Dark City" - just a few seconds here, a longer moment there, but it made the film more interesting and the story deeper.

ALL the Klingon scenes! including the Prison scene!
(WHY?)
Hmmm would I like to see more Trek or not...tough choice.
If it's good YES! I want more trek! Oh HELL who am I kidding? I'll take the bad too!Hmmm would I like to see more Trek or not...tough choice.
So are you demanding Paramount release the 2:15 cut, the 2:14 cut, the 2:11 cut, the 2:11 and 30 seconds cut, the 2:11 and 30 seconds cut that used an alternate take for one scene, the 2:11 and 31 seconds cut that had an extra second for one beat, etc.?

Hey.. That's not so silly.. How many Beatles fans bought the import version of "I am the Walrus" for the extra measure of D7 before the fourth verse??
I did!!
Removing all the Klingon scenes is going to make Burger King mad- they are still pushing the Klingon ship toy tie in.
You don't want to make the Burger King mad- he's creepy enough when he is happy.

Exactly! I hope they never invent those "extended edition" movies. it would be chaos! 700 different cuts for every movie.
When Peter Jackson was making "The Lord of the Rings", he deliberately filmed stuff that could be added to the DVD medium, since the format offered different viewing experiences than a movie theatre.
I seem to recall JJ saying the ST movie may have additional scenes when coming to DVD.
Nero being manhandled by helmeted Klingons, and Amanda nursing baby Spock, are two images from the trailers that are not in the film.
