Yup, there's now a directors cut of this film which, apparently, now almost makes sense. The special effects have been improved (there's 20 mins more footage too) and Frank now sounds truly like a Daemon rabbit from Hell. The cut is more than just an insertion of scenes into the existing tale and now includes excerpts from the book on timetravel, close ups off Donnie's visions (in his eyes) and Frank now talks to Donnie more often to make sure that Donnie (and in turn the viewer) sees everything that he is supposed to.

Anyway go find out for yourselves...info at Channel 4 or BBC or on the internet generally.

I'd like to see it, although already owning the original one, I very much doubt I'd be willing to fork out the extra cash just for 20 mins extra.

Yes. Just how exactly do you like the 'original' better, when this new version isn't released yet?

According to Empire the deleated scenes are deleated for a reason... the pace is ruined and the air of the film is damaged and ultimatly disappointing.

Still a wonderful 4 star film but not quite the five star they were hopeing for.

My sentiments exactly. I hate it when people do that.

I think during the commentary for the DVD thats out the director says that he likes that the film doesn't give everything to you on a platter and you have to work it out, this will ruin it if they've decided they need to explain all to the idiots and i'd rather they leave Franks voice alone, it was perfect as it was.
