R-RATED DIRECTOR'S CUT! YES!!!!! IT WILL DESTORY THE PG-13 CUT! Hope the running time is atleast 2 hrs or more.

Horror fansite Bloody-Disgusting received word that Paul W.S. Anderson participated in a recent Q&A at a Alien vs. Predator screening in which the movie's writer and producer revealed that he had quite different plans for the theatrical release.

About the studio's cutting of the film, which he had no control over, he said, and I quote, "All of the best scenes were cut."

Anderson was obviously very annoyed at the way the film was released. However, this was not purely because of the PG-13 limitation, which incidentally, the studio enforced THREE WEEKS before the release date! It was always going to be R until then. Part of the reason for the cutting was that some of the effects were not ready by the time the release date came around. The effects team had very little time to do anything.

As far as the content that was cut, apparently we see all those who die, die on screen, but he also said that there is a sub-plot that we will have to wait for on DVD. Yes there will be an R-rated Director's cut DVD although they don't know the release date yet.

You can check out the full article on the Q&A at the link above.

Do you honestly think that adding a little gore to a shitty movie turns the movie into a masterpiece? fuck off.

To a degree yes. Gore saved FVJ, alright movie imo. The AVP Novel (based on the flick's script) is much much better than this PG-13 version. I'm thinking they cut out...30 or 33min's of the film. I think I even know what the sub-plot is from reading the book. The key here is the running time...what made AVP (imho) medicore, was the lack of character development and gore, book has more of that. Paul Anderson didn't have control over the editing of this flick, ALMOST NO DIRECTORS DO! That's the MPAA and Studio's job.

About half of all new movies get reedited for DVD these days, it seems. And I have just stopped caring, most of these movies were PANTS to begin with.
