domarzionePreviously, we lamented that The Weinstein Company has apparently decided to strip all of the character development and worldbuilding out of Snowpiercer's North American cut because landlocked Americans (and, presumably, Canadians) can't figure that stuff out and would be better served with a more straightforward traditional action narrative that didn't require them to think.
Other countries get to choose whether they take the full version, which has gotten excellent reviews, or go for the lobotomized edition. As the movie travels from East (it debuted in Korea, since it has a Korean director and stars) to West, the reports are coming in about which one they're choosing. France, the native land of the original graphic novel (Le Transperceniege, which has never been translated into English), has gone for the full version and released a new trailer that has enough new footage in it to be worthwhile.
The Anglophone countries are another story, however, so we look still to the UK to hold the line so that we can at least buy their DVDs. :)
