Director's cut Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

A Director's cut is a specially edited version of a movie that is supposed to represent the director's own approved edit of the movie. It is often released some time after the original release of the film, where the original release was released in a version different from the director's approved edit. 'Cut' is synonymous with 'edit' in this context.

Movies which have a director's cut version include:

• Apocalypse Now (1979, Francis Ford Coppola), re-released as Apocalypse Now Redux (2001)
• Lawrence of Arabia (David Lean)
• The Abyss (James Cameron)
• The Big Blue (Luc Besson)
• Blade Runner (Ridley Scott)

Another concept, popularized by director Peter Jackson, is that of an extended edition, which he used for special releases of his Lord of the Rings movies. While Jackson considers the theatrical releases of those films to be his final 'director's cut', the extended cut was made so that fans of the material could see nearly all of the scenes shot for the script, but that were cut for theatrical running time.
