‘Dark City’ Director’s Cut hits DVD, BluRay …

Alex Proyas’ amazing sci-fi/film noir film will finally be getting the treatment it deserves. Having had only a single DVD release very early in the DVD age [you’ll remember when ALL DVDs came in those annoying paper cases and had zero special features], Dark City (1998) will now be re-released on DVD and BluRay in the original Director’s Cut. The theatrical release was 100 minutes long, whereas the director;s cut will have an 111-minute running time. The new release will also feature never-before-seen footage and 3 audio commentary tracks … one of which I understand is from Roger Ebert, who loved the movie. The release date on both of these formats is July 28, 2008.
