I love Heat. I also love Thief.
Blackhat has a director?s cut, which has never been released beyond cable TV showings. It is different and better. When Arrow announced their ?two versions?, it seemed many fans expected the second to be the director?s cut. That turned out not to be the case. Perhaps the delay involves Arrow now looking into getting rights for that cut? Hope so.
According to posters on HTF, Arrow back in May issued this statement in their newsletter:
We listened to your feedback about our release of Blackhat not including Michael Mann's revised director's cut of the film and we are very pleased to confirm that the original digital files have been found. It will now be included as a second Blu-ray Disc. To allow time for disc authoring and quality control, we have had to push the release date back to 4th September. We hope you understand the necessity for this delay and are as excited as we are to be able to feature this significantly different version of the film alongside the two previously announced cuts.
So, apparently, yes, the DC will be included, but no, not in UHD.
