I doubt there'll ever be one, as both the Steelbook and the unlimited release are dual format.

Greetings!

Give it time.

Once this has sold for a few months i'm sure Arrow will want to wring a few more pennies out of it from Arrowdrome collectors.

*drools* cant wait for this one!
sarah i've asked this a few times and never had a response, but what do you think are the chances of cat chaser getting a director's cut release? apparently the producers mauled that one beyond recognition but abel himself keeps a print of his original directors cut. that would be a ferrera world exclusive i'm guessing there are rights issues but maybe it's worth looking in to?

Excellent selection of bonus material. I really look forward to watching this for the first time, going through the special features (including commentaries), reading the booklet and then watching it again fully informed.

Like Who Dares Wins and The Wild Geese, this was originally pbeing passed up by me, but now I'm seriously thinking about getting it due to new features.

Arrow saw your post, Rhodes so they sent me an email with some information. Not good news, I'm afraid, but you might find it interesting nonetheless:

We enquired about a year ago. Ferrara’s original cut only exists as a work print (which has only been seen on a Ferrara-supplied VHS at select retrospectives) and is in an unfinished state and has no music. Unfortunately due to a variety of reasons we have not been able to pursue this any further.

We recommend people pick up Brad Stevens’ book on Ferrara of which they can read a sample chapter in our KING OF NEW YORK booklet. The chapter on CAT CHASER is fascinating.
