Glad I didn´t pre-order, and I hope Arrow can offer replacements in a near future. If the cut footage isn´t avalible in HD, they should just splice in that footage from an upscaled SD source. I rather have a drop in quality, during those seconds, than having a cut version. |
Because it was the brand new restoration they were given by TIFF and I imagine TIFF were trustworthy at the time, not to mention David Cronenberg probably gave it the thumbs up as well.
But yes, a double check with an old DVD is always a good idea, and it's such a shame that with a release as big as this, that this happens.
None the less, the second the steelbook is in a sale I'll be picking it up. Not sure how fussed I am over the cuts, even if they are to violence.
