Apocalypse Official Apocalypse Blu-Ray/DVD thread

[X-Maniac]

I'd prefer if they'd just release a extended version. I'd like to see theses deleted scenes and extension on the right order of events in the movie.

I would also love an Extended Edition. Fingers crossed.

They did one for BvS and that had just a 27 per cent rating on RT, although it's opening weekend was $166 million.

It depends if Fox thinks it's worth revisiting XM:A for an extended reworking. They never bothered with X3.

Bryan told collider there won't be an extended cut of X-Men apocalypse

“There will be no alternate cut of this movie. There will be nothing like the Rogue Cut or anything like that. I’m not a big fan of director’s cuts or extended editions, I never have been. In the case of Apocalypse, I removed what would be considered a conventional amount from the movie to protect what we call the collective experience of the feature theatrically. How it feels pace wise and movement wise.”

“[There was a] farewell between Scott and his brother [Alex]. It’s strange for the audience sometimes because they say, ‘It’s a good scene, why did you remove it?’ But if you sat in a theater and watched it with all those scenes back in, it may seem good, but slow. And I don’t want the audience to feel that.”

I'll also say the fight between Beast and Psylocke was heavily and horribly edited. When you watch it again, you can see she has her ninja sword in one scene; in the next scene it's nowhere to be seen.

Sorry to hear about your situation CyclopsWasRight.


Apocalypse makes is on the cover of Home Media Magazine...

DVD player owners (in Europe at least) will be getting some special features on their discs after all.

Blu-Ray, 3D Blu-Ray and 4K Ultra HD will have these (translated from German)...

DVD...


I think "Spaß am Set" is the gag reel but i could be wrong. If that's the case then it looks like the wrap party video may have been excluded on this side of the Atlantic.

Hopefully US DVDs will have the special features.gag reel and photo galley i really don't care about but it would be nice if DVD i preprdered comes with
audio commantary.there are cases where DVD has audio commantary but deleted scenes and BTS featurettes are left for blu-rays.

be intresting to see what happens when studios mostly only care about selling digital versions of films.

Undercutting Psylocke is just a big no no.

 

[TheNewSlayer]

I just hope for some fan put this 27m of scenes into the movie on the right order and share the torrent with everyone

Bryan told collider there won't be an extended cut of X-Men apocalypse

Well, that quote from Bryan is incredibly self-centred to be honest. This is about what the fans want, and what makes money, not about that narrow way of thinking.

 

[Storm22]

Odd that there's still no official release date for Ireland & UK, considering the movie was released here before the US. I assume we'll also be getting an October 4th release.

 

[BROSMP]

Hope there are a scene with Moira and Charles, bringing them in a relationship

 

[marvelrobbins]

it is funny i hear some call apocalypse a flop and others want expanded version.

restoring rogue was probally reason for the rogue cut.here even though she really only got 2 scenes jubilee talked more than in all three original films where she was background character.

 

[Mystique's Leg]

I wouldn't mind if they did some kind of ultimate cut right away, like BvS, to have more Jubilee. But it's not worth it to release an extended version a few months later. I would feel cheated.

Either way, I can't wait to see this movie again, especially that opening scene in ancient Egypt and to enjoy the antics of Cyclops, Jean and Nightcrawler.

I'd be up for that.

The Ultimate Edition is the only reason i bought BvS. Otherwise i wouldn't have bothered.

The studio has to wise up to stuff like this. They've only just started doing IMAX and 3D. Exploit the possibilities! Give the fans more, give them extra stuff...

 

[GuestStar2004]

i think they left it up to singer in the long run and he obviously doesn't wanna do it

 

[X-Maniac]

Clearly. But he did do the Rogue Cut and that can't just have been to appease Anna Paquin.

Bryan and Fox need to wise up to the idea of special editions. Like I said, the Ultimate Edition of BvS has been a big draw and it's been praised by many for improving the movie. Fans rarely complain about things being longer, about getting MORE of something.

 

[henzINNIT]

I'm in two minds about extended/alternate cuts. For the most part, I enjoy seeing them, but outside of LOTR I can't think of many that actually improved the film. Can't complain too much if the director isn't interested either.

That's dreadfully old-fashioned and conservative thinking. It just won't do in today's fiercely competitive online and offline world of 24/7 marketing.

Time to get with the program.

Films are clamouring to stand out in a crowded calendar; there's a challenge to sell DVD/Blu-ray in a world of digital downloads (which are themselves competing with illegal torrents and pirating); and the X-Men have long battled with a lack of merchandising.

The X-Men need products on shelves to have a brand presence, and with a film such as XM:A that was caught in a maelstrom of poor reviews and weak box office, it's even more important to tempt people to open their wallets.

At one time, Fox didn't even bother with IMAX or 3D. They have been asleep at the wheel when it comes to using all the marketing tools at their disposal. Special editions are another tool that can be used.

This has long been recognised in the music industry with deluxe editions, reissues, bonus tracks, unreleased mixes from archives, new remastering, etc. I'm part of that music world too (I buy the stuff and help to compile it for a label) and I know people who buy multiple versions of an album when there are only small variations.

I also work in a role that involves digital marketing. Repackaging and revisiting and revamping is part of the marketing world.

I really wish fox would act with apocalypse like they did with rogue cut of DOFP.those that bought the DVD of rogue cut got basiclly everything that was
on blu-ray.It would create goodwill.

Even WB put some BTS stuff on BVS DVD

i was just lucky with both the wolverine and BVS extended cuts i was able to buy them from itunes since neither film expanded cuts are on DVD.

Since studio clearly are moving into digital download as what they want to
push studio creating goodwill with fans on DVD and blu-rays.

digital downloads are becoming more popular than blu-ray because they are easier to play on computers than blu-rays.

Fox wants to compete to disney/marvel since special features are becoming almost non-exsisant on MCU dvds them putting some on APocalypse and wolverine film would help.

Tell that to the filmmakers I suppose.

I'll happily watch deleted scenes and alternate cuts, especially when time and care are put into them. I'm also content with being old-fashioned if it means a director can refuse to double-dip on their film and stand by what they made. That includes the likes of Ultron, which I think could be improved with some editing.

Yes, there are cases where a director refuses to go back and recut a movie.

I'm not sure how it works in terms of who is legally allowed to recut a movie, but I'm sure the director doesn't have to be present (or even agree) when the work is done.

I just think Fox should be more open to the idea of marketing/sales methods such as special editions for the X-Men movies. Now we had the Rogue Cut, we want more!

thank you!

Ha! I always thought Angel looked somehow strange in some scenes and now I know why. They had to include him digitally into some scene because he was not intended to be part of these scenes first! (when Apocalypse finds Magneto and the Auschwiz scene)

 

[Mystique's Leg]

A negative effect of 'Ultimate editions' etc. is how demanding fans become. Since the Ultimate Edition of BvS, there are more voices going around like: 'The cinematic cut didn't work, oh well, maybe they release a different cut on DVD'. There's a danger it becomes a lazy excuse. The very fact Snyder did the ultimate cut is telling. I could see them doing something similar with Suicide Squad.

Just make one good movie right away (which is what people pay for when going to the cinema).

Well, making one good movie right away clearly isn't always possible. Or all we would get at the box office would be fantastic movies.

Studio meddling, demands to cut the runtime, meet a certain rating, the rush to get VFX done... there are loads of factors that can mean the released movie is not the best it can be.

I don't see any problem with Ultimate Editions. They haven't happened with every film and i doubt they ever will.

But even the multiple-Oscar-winning LoTR movies got extended editions and the fans lapped those up.

I think directors and studios should be open to the possibility of expanding upon the cinematic release. It's much easier to cope with super-long movies at home because you can just press 'pause' and go to the toilet or take a break or put the kettle on, it's not like they are a real endurance test when viewed in a living room.

They are a marketing tool that should be considered. Superhero movies come with very vocal and very passionate fanbases who are willing to pay out for this stuff. Why not think about that market a little more?

 

[DavidHaller]

I am wondering if fans are really that stupid to follow this marketing trend?

Studios release horribly, horribly edited movies like "Batman vs. Superman" and "Suicide Squad" in cinema and keep material for future ultimate DVD editions so they can cash in a second time because fans will buy everything out of hope that the second release is not as dumb and offensively bad as the first cinema version? how can this marketing plan not backfire at one point or are we all so 'consumption damaged' that we buy everything regardless the quality of the product as long as it is well and intensely marketed?!

Well, it's neither a marketing plan nor a marketing trend. It just happens sometimes.

I don't see that occasional extended editions will cause any major shockwaves in the industry or among consumers.

Directors are often forced to make big cuts to movies (Age of Ultron) and sometimes movies are recut without director involvement (Fantastic Four). Yet neither of those were given extended editions, and both of them deserved one!

There really aren't that many such editions around to merit getting your knickers in a twist, to be honest. But, like I keep saying, they are a marketing tool worth considering. But not as an excuse for rushing out a shoddy cinematic release.
