Last night I was watching "Zodiac" for review and was, of course, totally disappointed that the release has not a single extra. However, going through the "Previews" section I was presented with a trailer for, you guessed it, the "Zodiac: Director's Cut" DVD complete with commentary track, Featurettes and interviews with the original investigators and so forth - "coming in 2008" it says.
Now, of course I laude the effort, but it rubs me the wrong way when a studio sells people a DVD and then after the shelled out their money they are being told "Oh, we'll also have another version of the movie for you shortly. Too bad you didn't know earlier, isn't it, because now we can milk you twice and we clearly designed it that way."
Regardless... cool movie and I'm looking forward to the Director's Cut and more importantly to the supplements.
