I've actually yet to see Event Horizon in its entirety...and even I did, it seems like I really wouldn't...if that makes any sense to you. Anyway, good ol' Paul "I'm married to Milla Jovovich so nyah-nyah, motherfucker!" Anderson let loose some new EH DVD details to Now Playing Magazine (http://www.nowplayingmag.com/content/view/485/2/):
“I just did a commentary for Event Horizon, because we’re releasing a Special Edition of that next year with a lot of deleted scenes,” Anderson told Now Playing Magazine in an exclusive interview. “And I went in and did a truly awful commentary for it that I’m going to redo! Because it had been so long since I’d seen the movie, I just started watching the film and enjoying it, and didn’t remember to say anything. And after like an hour and a half I’d said about 10 minutes of stuff. So that was an important lesson to me because if I end up doing that again, I should watch the movie a few times beforehand. Otherwise you just get bound up in watching the film. So it was a rather expensive way to watch the movie!”
“It’s a different experience with the disc I’m doing on Event Horizon,” he says. “Looking back at that movie, there are things that we took out of the film [and] I think the movie would be better with those things in there. So that’s an example of when you look back on a movie and you go, ‘I wish I hadn’t taken that out. I wish the studio hadn’t insisted I take that out.’”
“The movie has become such a huge cult hit,” Anderson says. “Paramount has sold so many DVDs of it that they’ve offered to do the fully-fledged ‘You can reintegrate the scenes and we’ll pay for it to be remixed and everything’ version. The problem has been actually finding all of the materials because it’s been quite a long time, so we’re still at the point where we’re trying to decide if it makes sense to do a director’s cut or whether [we should just include] a lot of deleted material with a separate commentary explaining why it was taken out and where the scenes would have gone. Or we may do a branching version of the DVD so you can see where those scenes may have sat.”
Look for the Event Horizon Special Edition DVD from Paramount sometime in 2005.
I can dig it. :cool:
