Both releases contain different versions of the film.
General Notes:
Shortly before the announced release date (January 4, 2011) of the original disc (which contains the original Theatrical Cut), Sony cancelled the release, although some discs had already made it to market.
Two years later, Sony released the Blu-ray as a "Director's Cut" which is approximately 3 minutes shorter than the original cut. It does not contain any additional footage; all differences consist of small bits of footage that were removed from the original cut.
A planned UK release by Powerhouse Films was pulled in 2021 due to legal complications. -
