I'm in the process of doing an audit on this title and need advice.

I own the Canadian release which, on the back, states:
Recut & Extended Version Separated into four stories.
Original Theatrical Release.


Now...here's the thing....given that the title is 'Recut - Extended' and that the back of the box lists the recut version first - should the crew/cast reflect the extended cut or the theatrical release?

Personally I'm leaning toward having dividers for each of the 4 segements with their own cast/crew - but I won't submit it if people think it's totally wrong to do so.

All advice welcomed!

Ok I've just edited my copy (which I then lost due to an error in Profiler!!!  ).

However, here's what I discovered:

The crew lists are practically identical until it gets to the Visual Effects crew; then you have different people working on the last two segements.

It's the cast where the real difference lies - with totally different lists and people appearing in more than one segment.

I'm going to re-edit mine tomorrow (can't be bothered to do it again today!!) and hopefully by then more people will have weighed in on this.

What I would do is:

Divider 1      - Recut- Extended - Unrated
Divider 2-5  1 divider for each segment.

Divider 6      blank divider to create a space

Divider 7      Original Theatrical Release

Runtime would have to be that of the longest version as stated by Forget_the_rest

I have always felt that the profile should match the release.  In this case, the release is the 'Recut & Extended Version Separated into four stories'.  I would enter the credits based on that version and NOT enter the credits from the other release that is included.

Agreed.

To try and please everyone I have edited the title as follows in both cast and crew:

Recut - Extended
Cast/Crew w/dividers for each segment.

Followed by Theatrical Version cast and crew.

I figure that by doing this everyone will get what they want and can delete what they don't.

The EAN is: 786936692143 for anyone who wants to copy the data to other profiles (assuming it's accepted, of course).

Hope this meets with everyone's approval.

Nice. And should your contribution get declined, I'm very much interested in getting the XML saved versions of cast and crew. 

My God, what a mess!

I don't know what your problem is?!

The film is titled Recut/Extended and that's how it should be credited. There are no FX dividers in the profile (which I know you have a problem with), simply the way the films are credited onscreen.

While I appreciate your effort to create extensive cast and crew listings, I don't like to see a mixup of two different cuts in one profile. I think it's better to create two separate profiles, one for each cut by using both Disc IDs.
