According to De Lauzirika, Scott was asked by Fox to make a new cut of the film for Blu-ray but refused, saying the theatrical version is his Director's Cut.

WTF!? What about all those alternate/extended scenes that were mentioned before? Or am I just being a dumbass and misinterpreting it?

[First Blood]

How...disappointing.

They're included for your perusal, but not as part of a new or extended cut. Extras only.

clearly an evidence, that scott became senile.

Oh, that's still crumby

Thanks for nothing, Ridley.

The least he could do is release an extended cut with the deleted scenes (and any other missing footage) inserted back in and with the CGI finished.  Who said it has to be titled, "Director's Cut?"

Yup... this is all for the fans.  What happened to giving us the choice between 2 cuts?

[Gazz]

I'm a little gutted myself. There are scenes that could benefit the film if inserted (character moments that set up later developments) but my biggest problem is that the final act is an absolute editing nightmare that could be fixed with some tinkering. A real shame.

Oh I dunno. I expect he can still capitalise his sentences.

[SpeedyMaxx]

Lol.  You're all acting like he shot your dog.

He'll do it eventually.  Not that he's under any obligation.

Gash we all know Ridley wanted more money to make the film ,more time and especially an appropriate edition at the final cut.We heard Scott saying that he liked ,anyway, the way it was done.
But actually has more behind it.
Fox was for me ; regrettable.

No extended cut is fine with me, but he has some explaining to do in its stead.

the one thing i think we have come to learn in recent years is dont trust anything ridley says. of course he wont say theres an extended cut coming otherwise why buy the current bluray release. they are gonna want to resell the movie at least two more times in the future not counting boxsets
