Shortly before the film's release, Weitz suggested that an extended cut of the film could be released on DVD, saying "I'd really love to do a fuller cut of the film"; he further speculated that such a version "could probably end up at two-and-a-half hours." This proposed cut would presumably not include the original ending: MTV reported in December 2007 that Weitz hoped to include that material at the beginning of a possible "The Subtle Knife" adaptation, and that a "Compass" Director's Cut might feature "a moment" of it as a "teaser." Cast members Craig and Green have echoed this hope for such a DVD cut; so far, however, no extended version has been released, as of 2014.
