To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Alex Proyas' 'Dark City', New Line DVD has re-released the film as a Director's Cut edition that adds 7 minutes of new footage - including the addition a daughter for Melissa George's prostitute. William Hurt and Jennifer Connolly are given more to do and the entire film looks even better than it did in '98 (no easy task). Showcases some of the best production design in recent memory.If you are yet to discover this forgotten masterpiece, now is the time. The most underrated movie of 1998 and the best Sci-fi Noir since 'Blade Runner'. The dvd features two making-ofs, a trailer and a director's commentary by Proyas and the screenwriters. It also features an engrossing commentary by Roger Ebert who has been one of the film's most enthusiastic supporters.
