This the sort of feature that will be able to have about 5 different DVD releases, with the niche market running out to buy every version. You can have the theatrical release, which will occur in the next few months, and about six months after that then you can have your director's cut release, and then a year after that you can have your "Ultimate Director's Edition!" which will cost 3 X as much as the Theatrical release and include inane commentary and material that was left on the cutting room floor for a reason.

The studios will be fine, they just won't make the killing that they'd like too on it!

Tears of boredom?

I for one can't wait till they release the Watchmen Babies edition... V for Vacation sounds awesome

"In this case would they have been better off making a couple of PG-13 films?

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll eventually make the money back off the animated series [youtube.com] :)

Did you miss "For the price of two people going to see the movie"? But yes. This is slashdot so expecting any to have a date for the movies is ... well... you know :)

You mean the movie, or....?

Paramount later settled their dispute with Winston only because they really wanted to make the sequel.

My moma always said that watching a movie sequel is like eating an entire box of chocolate, just after you finish eating an entire box of chocolate. It usually makes you sick to your stomach...

What about the extended and expanded editions, not to mention character-specific editions, the Gold edition, and the Super edition?

And the McDonald's Special Edition, which includes a short badly animated cartoon about Ronald McDonald teaming up with Roscharch and Doctor Manhattan to catch hamburger thieves.

Indeed. I have read several reviews before seeing the movie and they all spent a full paragraph talking about blue swinging schlongs throughout the movie. I expected that Dr. Manhattan had bludgeoned several people with his penis, or that it had some speaking scenes. In reality there are a couple of shots that briefly show full frontal nudity. Maybe reviewers were shown some un-edited version of the movie?
