Nightbreed (Director's Cut)

Product Information

Theatrical Cut: This is the theatrical release, reshot and edited in a way that skewed it toward a slasher film, which was not Clive Barker’s intention. This was originally available on VHS/Laser Disc, and then a bare-bones DVD in North America in 2002. It was also called “Cabal” in an Italian release, but don’t mistake that for the Cabal Cut, which we’ll talk about a little later. Boone in the Chamber (Alternate): Baphomet gives Boone his new name. The production sound is even more off-putting in this clip. sketches, most of them Rorschach designs by Barker himself. There are colour storyboards included in this collection. They've adopted a "not now" position, telling us that, in their opinion, the current market will not support the required investment in reassembling the master reels to produce a director's cut of the movie.

Two short TV ads which as far as I can make out are identical. The same ridiculous low register voice over misrepresenting the film is featured on each. In 1990, to tie in with the film's box office release, Epic Comics produced a four-issue adaptation of the film, which included significant differences from the finished movie, more closely related to Clive Barker's original script. The comic book continued to run past the end of the film, ultimately stretching to twenty-five issues before it was cancelled. [49] [50] The comic book was initially written by Alan Grant and John Wagner and drawn by Jim Baikie. [51] a b c Nutman, Philip (1991). "Introduction to Nightbreed".

Joyce Finds Babette (Alternate): I can't remember the dog faced breed in the film but here he/she is dead or dying as the detective finds Babette weeping next to its body. Barker had already produced a hit with Hellraiserbut Nightbreedhad a budget behind it, and with studio money the director had to deal with nervous studio execs. In a 2012 interview, Barker spelled out the differences between working on Nightbreedand Hellraiser: Now, this is just a VHS copy so it's not of releasable quality, so... thank you for your continuing messages of support - let's keep working to get a proper DVD release for an extended Nightbreed... From here the concept of Occupy Midian, the multi-pronged campaign named by Anne Bobby in an interview with the Clive Barker Podcast, was begun by Ryan Danhauser, Jose Leitao, Roger Boyes and Russell Cherrington. It was a combination of screenings around the world by Russell, a petition assembled by Jose, social-media push by the members of the Clive Barker Podcast to keep the momentum going until Morgan Creek saw that it was a viable product.

Never seen Nightbreed, which version should I watch first?? Never seen Nightbreed, which version should I watch first??

We're over the moon, I mean, to get a title like this, again, a Holy Grail title like this, it just kinda blows our mind." It's going to take us some time to do some restoration work and really do a lot of extra features on it but it's going to be our big title for next year, I think."

It's been a process, well, the film came out in '89 so over twenty-five years in the making and, you know, it was five years ago that I sent Clive a text message that said, 'Hey, I heard there might be some missing footage' and we found it, we put it together, it's been touring the world, it's been incredible. And the deal just closed moments ago, literally. These guys are going to be giving it the restoration treatment, it's going to be unbelievable." We have big (and extensive) news to report today regarding a film that we announced almost over a year ago in July. In collaboration with Morgan Creek Productions and Clive Barker's Seraphim, Inc., the long-awaited NIGHTBREED: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT is scheduled for a release of October 28th and will be available in two retail versions: A 5,000 Unit Limited-Edition 3-Disc Blu-ray set and a Special Edition DVD & Blu-ray Combo.

My friends, Clive here,writing to share some wonderful news. Following the two Sold Out screenings of Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut on Sunday, Morgan Creek has given us permission to show the cut around the world and to raise money to prepare the cut for a release on Blu Ray. This could not, would not have happened without your voices. We have all been heard. The Morgan Creek team have my thanks and my respect. Very seldom does anyone in the movie business pay attention as they have, understanding perhaps that the message of the movie as I shot it is one that dramatizes a different ending to the age-old story of how a war between Humankind and something Other draws to a close. The real Nightbreed will be available for everyone to see. I hope its message of redemption and forgiveness move you." It's been a little over a year since our good friend Mark Miller was told by someone at Morgan Creek that Nightbreed's "missing" footage was in fact safely stored in their vaults, simply needing a reason to dig it out - but that no-one at the company could see a reason to do so. The surviving Nightbreed watch Boone and Lori in the distance. Rachel tells Babette that Boone will return soon, perhaps the next day, to lead them to a new haven. Boone and Lori now appear together as part of a prophecy in a Nightbreed painting.Originally marketed as a slasher movie, the film is anything but. It is an epic story of a hero rising to defend the oppressed with the humans as the true villains. It is also hugely ambitious from the stunning makeup to the gigantic Midian set, this is an epic fantasy that feels like it had a lot more story to tell. To that end, there are sequel hooks aplenty and one wonders what may have been, had Barker been able to deliver this version in 1990.
