The Wolfman will require a deep dive and I am lacking time currently for that…

So I will serve up something else for now.

The Saint (1997)

This film was a pretty medicre affair I actually saw it in the cinema and got the CD single of the theme tune by Orbital. The theme tune was pretty good and that band remixed a few Brittish classics aswell as Dr Who theme also.

So as far as the film goes for some bizarre reason the whole climatic action ending sequence was removed. This version of the ending can be found on a Russian VHS release but is dubbed entirely in Rusdian no English or subtitles exist in any release format as far as I know. You can find it on youtube.

The director expressed a wish to see the ending restored but this alternate version in English never materialized. There was some sort of conflict on the heroine of the story that lead to these changes however the Director himself confirmed there was 3 versions the Theatrical this Rusdian VHS version and a version that combines the two but finishes as the theatrical version does. I think it could be worth a restoration this one as it really does change the film and all the money that was spent on this big action scene which is surely the climax of the story whilst the plot is tied up should be re-instated.

Another One for a Special edition would be

Frost / Nixon (2008)

There are some deleted scenes here for the film not entirely sure they should be re-instated in the film or not I would need to watch this again I don’t recall anything bad. It is a very good film as it stands. In terms of a special edition material or featurettes there is a presskit which includes intetesting stuff on it amongst the treasure trove of Historical Documentaries and the Original interview itself could be included regarding watergate. I feel this could make for a decent release anyway with all the history surrounding it and being a very good film to boot.
