I'm hoping the studio is smart enough to offer the widescreen option. And the Director's Cut of Donnie Darko was an absolute masterpiece, undebatably. AOL lists pan-and-scan dimensions.

And as far as the Will Smith discussion, I saw an interview with him where he said that he looked at the top grossing films of the past decades, discovered that they were sci-fi, and that's why he does the films he does. He doesn't care at all about the stories or characters, just the box office dollars. And that's why his movies have been sucking (although people still seem to go see them). Add to that, he's the new poster-boy for Scientology, and you can count me out of watching his films.

Or at least redub his character's lines. His performance made it very hard to take this movie seriously. Conceptually baller otherwise. Wish they could digitally replace Keifer Sutherland.

The narration was unnecessary and gives away a lot of things in the movie, and as far as I know, Proyas didn't want it too.

From what I know, Will Smith is the reason for the film turning to shit. He had the writers dumb down the script and overall storyline. Proyas was pretty much "locked out" from the end discussions having to do with the film. I Am Legend suffered from the same crap. Along with having some of the worst CG I have seen in film in a while. gocitizen,

I can't wait to check this out. I had such high hopes for I, Robot when I found out Proyas was directing....and then, such low hopes when I discovered that it would star Will Smith. The Alex Proyas that was behind The Crow and Dark City would have made a much film out of the Asimov material. What happened to that guy? great film. I can’t wait to check this out.

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 02:47:57 +0000 http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/04/28/dark-city-directors-cut/#comment-308133 I was wondering where the hell Alex Proyas went, he hasn't had a film out in four years, I looked him up and he has another sci-fi film on the way with Nic Cage. "Knowing" A teacher (Cage) opens a time capsule that has been dug up at his son's elementary school; in it are some chilling predictions -- some that have already occurred and others that are about to -- that lead him to believe his family plays a role in the events that are about to unfold. Sounds promising. I was wondering where the hell Alex Proyas went, he hasn’t had a film out in four years, I looked him up and he has another sci-fi film on the way with Nic Cage.
