Director Has 'Fantastic' DVD Ideas

Director Tim Story thinks bigger will be better on DVD. He cut his comic book movie, Fantastic Four, down to a fast-paced 105 minutes for its hit theatrical release, but he has proposed an extended cut of the movie, in addition to deleted scenes as an extra feature, for the DVD.

“I feel like now people have seen the kind of fast- paced ‘get in and out’ version,” Story said. “We’re talking [about] only a handful of scenes that I might put back into the movie just to allow the movie to breathe a little bit.”

Extended cuts have become more common as studios look for opportunities to create additional, sellable versions of the same film. Many directors take issue with the term “director’s cut,” insisting that adding more does not necessarily make the film better. But Story is okay with creating additional versions with films under the right conditions.

“I don’t mind that, as long as I have the say so of what [is put back in],” he said.

Fantastic Four tells the origin of the team of superheroes exposed to cosmic radiation in outer space, resulting in each one developing unique powers. Most of the film’s visual effects are on display in theaters, but Story said he has saved a few for his extended cut.

“There are a couple of things with special effects in them that we actually finished up and then [will] put into the movie, so it’ll be interesting to see how people respond to it,” he said.

To complement or offer an alternative to the extended cut, Story also has plans for the standard array of DVD extras for Fantastic Four.

“There are going to be a lot of deleted scenes and commentaries, and we’re going to have a lot of special effects features,” he said.

Director Tim Story gives more info on the DVD, and the sequel:

F4M: Do you have any favorite scenes or lines in particular?
TS: There's a testing montage in the movie that I've always been fond of. Also, some of my favorite scenes didn't make in the final cut. Wait until the DVD, there are some scenes with Chiklis and Kerry Washington that were just awesome. Favorite lines: Johnny, "Now picture that, but everywhere."

F4M: Was any footage held back specifically for a special edition of the dvd? Did you approach any material, in pre- or post-production, with the intent of adding to a dvd later? Also, do you know if fans will be able to expect any of the scenes that we saw in trailers or featurettes that did not make it to the final film on the dvd?
TS: I just mentioned some stuff with Ben Grimm and Alicia - they're sooooo touching. We did go back and finish some special effect in scenes so we could add them to the dvd. Several actually. I think the fans will have some well worthy surprises on the dvd.

F4M: Has there been any discussion of you returning to direct any sequels to the film, and would you like to work on them again if asked?
TS: The chance of revisiting this world would be, well, fantastic. There are just so many stories and ideas that we weren't able to touch in this origin movie. But now that everyone is on the same page, things could get pretty exciting.

The Avengers or The Ultimates, to be exact. Direct to DVD movie of the fan fave Marvel title featuring a more real-world line-up of Avengers. Read it. It's quite cinematic.

Ano ang ibig sabihin ng Minimum of 32 copies per store sa Best buy?

Kailangan bang maaga ako makipagrambulan doon?

Also Circuit City has a good freebie. A comic book.

Arrggghhh!!!! Wala kasi akong car kaya hindi gaanong accesible sa akin ang mga store na ito.

Ano kaya ang offer ng Walmart???
