Saw III Director's Cut/Special Edition DVD, release date?

I always buy the special editions/director's cuts, so if anyone knows when the director's cut/special edition of Saw III will be released in the UK I'd love to know.
The 'Extreme Edition' doesn't count, because it was the first ever release of the movie on DVD. (They always bring out the dir. cut at a later date )
Thanks
UK edition - region 2?

Here is some information for you: (the bit you want the most is further down)

Trailers
Also confirmed are two exclusive featurettes to the Blu-ray Disc release of Saw III, which includes a feature on the writing of Saw III, and an "Amanda: Evolution of a Killer" featurette. These featurettes were also included on an exclusive 2-disc edition, sold at Target stores in the U.S. and Future Shop stores in Canada. They contain the Unrated Widescreen Edition on Disc 1.

Director's Cut

A Director's Cut of Saw III was released on October 23, 2007 to coincide with the theatrical release of Saw IV on October 26. Extras on the 2-disc set include:

Three new audio commentaries
1. Writer Leigh Whannell
2. Director Darren Lynn Bousman and actor J. LaRose
3. Actors Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith
"Jigsaw's Plan" trivia game
"Filmmaker Favs"--favorite scenes/lines/details as chosen by the production crew
"Looking Tortured"--secrets behind selected make-up effects from the three movies
"Choose the Death"--commentary on 10 different traps
Music video: "Killer Inside--Messed Up World" (Hydrovibe featuring Shawnee Smith)
A clip of the first trap in Saw IV
This version of Saw III is the definitive one that Darren Lynn Bousman had originally intended (prior to being forced to edit the film seven times by the MPAA to achieve the R rating for the theatrical release), with a total running time of 120 minutes. A deleted scene reincorporated into this version of the film depicts a brutal catfight between Amanda (Shawnee Smith) and Lynn (Bahar Soomekh). In another added scene, Amanda appears to be having nightmares about kidnapping Adam before she finally decides to give him a mercy killing. This scene also reveals Jigsaw knew Amanda killed Adam. Also included is the original ending, which shows Jeff stumbling over to Lynn then screaming as the credits began.

A clip posted on YouTube by someone who appears to have received the Director's Cut early showcases the new alternate ending. In this version, after Jeff slices John's throat with the power saw, John pulls out a tape, just like the theatrical version. However, he flatlines before he is able to play the tape, and Lynn's collar detonates, blowing her head apart as Jeff dives to avoid the spray of blood and brains. A rapid montage of Jigsaw's traps and villains then flashes by. When Jeff regains his senses, he stumbles over to Lynn's remains, muttering, "I'm gonna get us out of here now, okay? Your beautiful hair...your beautiful hair..." As he lies next to her and kisses her hand, he plays the tape that fell from John's hand. It is the same message as in the theatrical version, albeit in a more threatening tone. As Jeff listens to the tape, and his daughter's predicament is revealed, he stands up slowly, face contorting with rage and sorrow. As the tape ends, Jeff screams, and the film cuts to black.

Unrated Edition

The Unrated version of Saw III differs from the theatrical in many ways. The first noticeable difference is that the opening scene is more violent. The shots of Eric's heel being broken are much closer, and more detail is shown. When Kerry is discussing Eric with Rigg, the scene is slightly extended, showing her commenting on how she can't sleep because of his disappearance. When Kerry's trap triggers, a frontal shot is shown of her ribs being torn from her torso, leaving her organs exposed. Flashes showcase her innards dropping to the floor. The next noticeable difference is during Danica's Freezer Trap. A few extra shots show Jeff slamming the door, trying to get out. During the Rack, Tim's limbs are shown much more, showcasing his skin tearing as the bone shatters out of his skin. The flashback fight scene between Amanda and Eric is also extended. Amanda is shown hearing Eric's cries for his son, and seems distressed. While maneuvering in the corridor, Eric sneaks up on her and the fight resumes from there. The last and most major difference is the film's ending. In the theatrical, once the montage of the victims passes by, Lynn's corpse is shown quickly, before cutting to Jeff screaming, then on Jigsaw's corpse, and finally cutting to black. In the unrated, during the montage the music slightly overlaps, skipping a couple of seconds forward, and then showing Lynn's mutilated head, zooming in on the gory details, and then slowly fading out to white. Surprisingly, the brain surgery scene was not altered.

The original theater version was also missing a soundtrack that was meant to play during the scene with Timothy Young in the Rack.

A Desktop Guide for Nonprofit Directors, Officers, and Advisors $175 How to keep any nonprofit out of trouble, running smoothly, and accomplishing its mission "Jack Siegel--lawyer, accountant, management consultant, and computer whiz--takes the putative director or officer of a nonprofit organization on a useful and often entertaining voyage throughout the realm of the tax-exempt organizations universe, pointing out its quirks, foibles, and legal liabilities along the way. His handbook will make mandatory--and arresting--reading for those who are already serving as trustees, directors, officers, and key employees of exempt organizations, particularly charitable ones. Siegel's goal, in which he succeeds, is to help directors and officers of nonprofit organizations 'make better decisions.' The book is full of large policy analyses and paragraphs on the details, such as board size, board committees, board meeting formats, the contents of minutes, and the duties of officers. Salted with some excellent real-life examples, what also sets this book apart from most in its genre is the tone: the writing style, the brusqueness, the bluntness. He complains that too many directors 'check their good judgment at the boardroom door.' He advises individuals who 'desire agreement and demand adulation' to stay off boards; he insists on 'commitment' and 'institutional tension' with the executive director. He warns prospective directors that some organizations want, in addition to time and judgment, 'either your money or your ability to raise money.' To my delight, he extols the virtues of 'some level of expenditures' for qualified lawyers and accountants. Please join me in adding this most helpful handbook to your nonprofit library." --Bruce R. Hopkins, Attorney at Law, author of The Law of Tax-Exempt Organizations, Eighth Edition and Starting and Managing a Nonprofit Organization: A Legal Guide, Fourth Edition

Women Directors $31.95 Barbara Quart's knowledgeable survey chronicles the emergence of a New Cinema, where women directors in a dozen countries bring fresh language and sensitivity to the conventional themes of commercial feature movies. Back Stage I'd like to see an American audience able to analyze both difficult films and commercial celluloid kitsch. . . .Viewers can teach themselves this skill with clear and readable books like Quart's. Women's Review of Books The current level of activity among women directors is unequaled in the history of feature films. This unprecedented study examines major contemporary women directors of narrative feature film--their themes, their art, and the circumstances under which they work. Quart contends that women are creating a film language and film sensibility that are unique, strong, and--until now--unexplored. Her discussion centers on the ties between women directors, rather than on a survey of women who direct films. Beginning with the antecedents to today's burgeoning number of women directors, the study progresses to American women directors. Subsequent chapters focus on women directors in Western Europe and Eastern Europe, with some attention as well to Asia and Latin America.

Directors & Designers $20 Directors & Designers offers the reader insights into the working relationships of people in these significant and creative roles. It charts an understanding of the way in which these roles have developed over the last century with specific chapters on both the personalities and on the works created by these directors and designers. White has selected chapters which look at theatre and site-specific performance, the phenomenological, contested readings and mis-readings that can occur; the power of place and space and the signifying practices of scenography. The use of simultaneous playing spaces of the stage as a feature of twentieth century performance practice, alongside exemplars of collaborative models possible between directors and designers are also addressed in this volume. A string of visual languages for theatrical communication and aesthetics, space and the cognitive reception of design by the audience, and the manipulation of space by the director and designer, illuminate the creative relationship for the reader.
