Highlander: Vengence cut despite director's protests Thu, 7 Jun 2007

In an emotional interview with Ain't it Cool News, Highlander: Search For Vengence producer Galen Walker has revealed that his company, Imagi, decided to edit Yoshiaki Kawajiri's version of "Highlander: Search For Vengence" (reducing the length of the film), leaving the Ninja Scroll director feeling somewhat unhappy.

    "He didn't like it at all. I totally understood and respected his position, and basically, I humbled myself and asked him please to consider these cuts and consider how we tried to keep the authentic feeling and view of the film. But, you can be the judge when the director's version comes out, which will probably be out later this year. See both versions, and you can see the differences where the length and timing of it changes."

You can read the full interview over at Ain't It Cool News; it's an interesting account of a man who has directly collaberated with a Japanese animation house (Madhouse) to produce a Western story with an Eastern anime aesthetic and style. The Imagi cut of "Highlander: Search for Vengeance" will be coming out in the UK on Mon, 9th July.
