   MMmmm. 40 more minutes of that cinematography? I’ll buy that for a dollar (or 20). It’s so sad director went from this to Silent Hill.

   I haven’t seen BOTW in a very long time. I’d say it was about time for a re-visit, and what better way than on an extended cut.

   Man, this is cool news — thanks!

   hmmm I already own the 3 disc set. It cost me $39.00 at the time. I bought it instead of the 2 disc one. I’ll have to see the footage before I decide if its worth the extra purchase.

   holy shit… I had no idea it was the same director. I missed that totally. I would have actually rushed out to see Silent Hill at the time if I had known that.

   gotta say we’re big fans of silent hill over at quiet earth. That film is bat shit crazy and visually outta this world. I suppose I understand why others wouldn’t think so but for my money I’d probably take SH over BOTW.

   Wow, I love this movie. I really hope they will release a Region 2 DVD too.

   As a big fan of the game, I loved the first half of Silent Hill. The camera angles and creatures - and just the overall style and tone of the film - used were perfect. It takes a bit of a nosedive though for the final third or so. More characters = bad choice.

   To be fair, BOTW starts to get a little less interesting towards the end as well.

   At John, there’s a 3 disc set? Shit, I didn’t even know there was a 2-disc set. I’m pretty sure mine is just the one disc. I’ll be selling it for the new one though.

   I didn’t think there was a one disk version. The one I have is pretty sweet though so it really would be hard to justify upgrading… now if I had a blu-ray player I’d be tempted to switch this one up for an HD quality version.

   I didn’t realize that there had been previous 2 disc and 3 disc versions - I assumed it was just the one disc. I’ll be picking this up.

   As for SH, I didn’t realize it was the same director. That movie had some GREAT moments but nothing will ever top the first time it goes dark and we hear the air raid siren. That scene made me cringe.

    Gans has a knack for opening films with a bang and then they kind of limp down during the second half. BHOTW had that problem and suffered from the fact that it took its sweet time to end. It was way too long.
    I got the French 3 disc version when it first came out in a leather bond book, unsubtitled unfortunately. I later for the 3 disc Canadian release.
    My favorite of his is Crying Freeman though, great action scenes and overall style, even though it tends to get a little melodramatic.

    I’ve never seen the film, but it is one of my best friends’ faves.
