Clive Barker's Nightbreed

"Nightbreed" Director's Cut Is Coming

By Garth Franklin Tuesday August 20th 2013 09:46AM
Shout! Factory and Morgan Creek Productions have officially announced that they will bring an "Extended Director’s Cut" of Clive Barker’s cult 1990 horror film "Nightbreed" to disc and VOD next year.
The original film dealt with an underground city of mutant creatures and a doctor (David Cronenberg) intent on killing them all. At the time of release, Fox and Morgan Creek heavily edited the film down from two-and-a-half hours to just 102 minutes.
Called "The Cabal Cut" on the festival circuit, this restored longer version contains over 45 minutes of previously unseen material which is said to be Barker's original vision.

"We begin with an official statement from Clive Barker's team on this extraordinary project: 'The Nightbreed Director's Cut is an entirely different film than the one which was released in theaters. Its 20 minutes longer than the theatrical cut, but it contains over 40 minutes of new and altered footage. Clive oversaw the reconstruction and edit himself, personally ensuring that, at long last, he was able to tell the story he always wanted to tell, but until now, had never been given the chance. Once the scenes were reordered, and the original film footage restored, the entire film received a brand new sound mix and color pass. It is, in every way, a different movie. It contains more story, more monsters, and there's even a musical number. Ultimately, what we've delivered is a love story 25 years in the making' "

It's got plenty of special features. Sadly there isn't any mention of a score featurette. I guess Danny Elfman wasn't available for any interviews, but I'm still interested in owning the director's cut regardless.
 
Can't wait for this.

The 3 Disc is like $80 though. Too high even for a limited edition.
