I really want them to bring out a 15 rated special edition Casino Royale DVD with all those little bits from fight scenes and the torture put back in. The US DVD has small clips in the PTS which I have seen that aren't in the UK DVD (ie, the contacts legs flailing when in the sink and a particular shot on Bonds face being longer), though it also has many little shots removed which the UK disc has. The shot in the torture scene where Le Chiffre dumps the rope on Bond and says "such a waste!" is gone.

Now I don't just want these for the sake of it, they all add to the impact of the scenes, and frankly it spoils a scene when I know a shot is missing. Some of the missing footage is really obvious in the poor edits as well.

I'd also love to see deleted scenes in the special features, as we all know there are quite a few. The special features on the current DVD are pretty scrawney :cooltongue:

We FINALLY have an un-cut Goldeneye among others, and I don't want to have to wait an age and a half before we get an un-cut, higher rated Casino Royale for adults who can actually tell that a film has been tampered with for the daft DVD censors.

I agree, especially when we saw these scenes uncut in the theatrical version.

An un-cut, extended version of CASINO ROYALE would be great. Hopefully we'll get some release in 2008 in the build-up to BOND 22. I would love to see CASINO ROYALE: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT.

Sooner rather than later, hopefully. I'd love to see a director's cut.

Does that have all the little edited shots in it?

Though it's not just about that, I'd love to see the full deleted scenes like the cricket match (which we know was filmed at Eton), extra bathroom fighting clips, the card tearing, underwater swimming shot etc.

I also wonder if they filmed the scene where Bond removed Bliss from the train which was in the script?

A "Director's Cut" with plenty of extra footage in the actual film would be amazing, whatever the price :-P Give it a 15 rating and any extra clips of footage that would lend a particular scene a more hard hitting feel and more gravitas could be put back in as it was meant to be. The little things make the scene. That small shot of Le Chiffre dropping the rope on Bond saying "..Such a waste!" gave a really menacing edge to the scene, so much so that I remembered it clearly from seeing it once at the cinema and miss it in the DVD.

The legs flailing when the guy is being drowned in the sink is really interesting too, and there's a longer shot on Craig's face when he's shoving the guy down which makes it more intense on that particular shot.

I suppose for the bathroom fight there's the problem of the music cue being a certain length...but if I were them I'd record it again to fit a new cut. It's not a long scene frankly. They must have done that for Lord of the Rings extended cut DVD's.
