THE WITCHES : The Roald Dahl Cut [720p]

[FONT=&amp]Directed by Nicolas Roeg, starring Anjelica Huston, Mai Zetterling, Jasen Fisher. [/FONT]

"The Witches : The Roald Dahl Cut" aims to bring the film closer to the wonderful book it was based on. The dreadful happy ending, which Roald Dahl hated, has been completely removed, making the new and reworked ending absolutely identical to that of the book. The more "vulgar" bits (to quote Roald Dahl himself) have also been cut, so has the idiotic subplot of the bad-witch-turned-good. Other scenes have been re-ordered and recut. Presented in a remastered HD version and with a new DTS 5.1 audio mix, this new cut should please everyone who's ever enjoyed Roald Dahl's unique style, by making what is arguably the best film based on his work an even more faithful adaptation.

[FONT=&amp]Bonus : A long lost 1979 video interview with Roald Dahl (included in the torrent). [/FONT]

Y'know what? I had planned this same exact edit! So thanks for doing it and saving me some work! Will look forward to it. :)
 
Loved 'The Witches' as a kid, scared the life out of me. I re-watched it recently and was surprised to see it was directed by famous Director [FONT=&amp]Nicolas Roeg[/FONT]. Interesting to see a new cut of this classic.

Wow, a lot of Dr. Sapirstein releases recently, like one a day alsmost :-D (Long may that continue).
 
Sounds great! Will definitely be checking this out. The book and the movie scared the bejesus out of me as a kid :-o:oops:. I still remember the terror of imagining being stuck in that ballroom and realizing you are in the nest of the enemy and you can't escape... Ahhhhhh!
 
Awesome! Been a long time since I've watched this flick or read the book. Really great fanedit idea, look forward to checking it out.

I know that Roald Dahl hated the films ending, but the way this is worded makes me laugh.
 
It's weird I read a lot of Roald's books as a kid but I never noticed changes like that ending or the goose in Charlie & the chcolate factory.

Couldn't be much easier, could it? :)
 
The version I was able to obtain via TPB from DOCSAP has 5 channel DTS-sound not 5.1
