Will they make a separate IMDB page for the director's cut?

Since it's getting an official release, isn't this about right?

Superman II and Superman II: The Donner Cut both had separate pages on IMDB once the latter was released.

The same thing happened to Payback once its director's cut was released as well. There's a board for Payback and a separate one for Payback: Straight Up.

Will the same thing happen here? There's one for The Exorcist III, obviously. Can they make one for Legion: The Exorcist III Director's Cut?

And if there's no plans for it, how might I go about requesting it from an IMDB mod or admin? I think it would make for some intriguing, separate discussion and (most importantly) fair rating for both separately.

Maybe Bastach can do it for us..? He seems to be the appropriate go-to guy for such a task.

Thanks for the kind words, but I don't know how to go about requesting it. In fact, I've never had any official communication with imdb official staff, mods, and/or admins. But you do bring up an important point, i.e., that the new DVD does represent a separate film and therefore should probably have a page of its own.

I suppose someone will come along who knows what to do.

The film really doesn't deviate that much. I mean, yes, there are some different scenes and the exorcism is now gone, but it really isn't a different movie like Superman II was, or Dominion:Prequel to the Exorcist. It stays on the exact same course overall, albeit with some original footage reinserted of Brad instead of Jason. I don't know. Do you think it REALLY needs it's own page. It isn't getting a stand-alone release and is all packed together. Clive Barker's Nightbreed didn't get a separate page for his director's cut! I kind of doubt it will happen here.

Solar, again, thanks for the info. It still sounds interesting without the tagged-on exorcism, etc.

I was wondering if someone could upload a screenshot of the stills with varying VHS quality from the original mastered scenes of the theatrical cut. I'm just curious to know the difference in quality. The Wicker Man's extended cut had the same issue and I thought it looked fine enough.

As for what you say about cuts, yeah, I guess I agree. If it was getting a standalone release it might be a different story. But since it's packaged together, I guess we won't be seeing a separate page. I wonder if this release will prompt Morgan Creek to "find" the original reels someday. Oh well...

I also agree that an edit without the tacked-on exorcism scene sounds intriguing (but I think we all agree with that notion, which is why we all waited this long finally for a cut of the original edit).
