X-MEN: DOFP Director's Cut Confirmed For Later This Year
Were you disappointed that Anna Paquin's Rogue scenes were cut from X-Men: Days Of Future Past? Well, producer Lauren Shuler Donner has revealed that they'll be restored for a director's cut on Blu-ray at some point this year. More past the jump..
We know from the various trailers and tv spots etc that several scenes from Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days Of Future Past must have been left of the cutting room floor. The most notable omissions seem to be a couple of scenes featuring Anna Paquin's Rogue, but now producer Lauren Shuler Donner has confirmed that we'll get to see them when a director's cut of the movie hits shelves later in the year.
The scenes in question were an entire action set piece in which Iceman, Magneto and Professor X rescue Rogue from the sentinels, and then another sequence which saw her using her powers to help keep Wolverine's mind in his younger body after he inadvertently injures Kitty. But we've also glimpsed several other scenes -- including Mystique interacting with Beast and Wolverine -- that must not have made the theatrical cut, so hopefully they'll also appear on the Blu-ray. No release date was given, but we'll assume it'll be around the November/December mark.
