Each movie would be released with three discs, with the only difference between the formats being the picture and/or sound quality...
[b]Disc 1[/b]
This disc would feature the Theatrical Release, Directors Cut/Special Edition and Uncut Edition (all deleted/alternate scenes included), as well as separate viewings of the deleted/alternate scenes. All versions of the film would come with their own commentary tracks in light of the Final Edition.
[b]Disc 2[/b]
This disc would feature the Final Edition of the movie. The Final Edition would differ from the other versions of the film because of the cuts/additions made for the following reasons...
1. Narrative Structure - Cuts/Additions to make the narrative more effective.
2. Pacing - Cuts/Additions to increase/decrease the pace where necessary.
3. Continuity - Cuts/Additions to segue the film with its predecessors/successors.
4. SFX - Cuts/Additions to improve the SFX shots to a set standard.
[b]Disc 3[/b]
this disc would contain all the stills, documentaries, interviews, features and behind the scenes footage, including new footage regarding the new Final Edition of the film.
