I do not understand your statement here.  Please define filmmakers.  I always figured the true filmmakers were the directors, writers and producers.  Now personally, I believe that if they had the opportunity to show what they wanted at the theater, it would have been the this director's cut.  But for some reason, either a rating issue or time issue or something, it was shortened to what was seen in the theaters.  So the filmmakers, in my opinion, did not make this choice, the studio or production company did.

So I personally don't see your justification for how you see this.  The cover does state this edition, and the DVD opening title card also states this, but on the other hand the copyright block, upc label, the DVD Title Menu, the overview and even the label on the DVD itself says only "King Arthur".  Again these were all decided by a studio, or media company to label it this way. 

So I ask you again, What did the Filmmakers want?  You also cannot know.

The original title is also King Arthur (as clearly everyone who doesn't just want to pick arguments knows)

Great documentation. Thank you.

As my edit to my previous post explains, what the filmmakers - whoever they are - wanted is irrelevant when it comes to determining the profile's Title. The rules say "Use the title from the front cover.", period.
I would however suggest entering "King Arthur: Director's Cut" in the Original Title field, as the rules instruct us to "Use the title from the film's credits" for that field.

Why would being in a different font matter? It's a sub-title, just as with for example Die Hard 2: Die Harder. Or is "Die Harder" a part of the edition since it's in a smaller font?

Counter question: What about Special Edition in the very same picture? Does it suddenly become part of the title, too?

Forget it, I'm out of this thread, it's going nowhere anyways - with or without me.

I honestly can't see how the rules would allow for any other form of data entry than
Title: King Arthur
Edition: Director's Cut: Extended Unrated Edition
Original Title: King Arthur: Director's Cut.

It's all an interpretation about what the title on the cover is. I can see both sides in this argument.

One question though. Why Director's Cut before Extended Unrated Edition. After all EEU is above DC on the cover?

Ah yes, a second look at the front cover made me see your point. Sorry for being overly confident. 
The alternative view would then be:
Title: King Arthur: Director's Cut
Edition: Extended Unrated Version
Original Title: blank.

Personally, I would still choose my original interpretation, but your mileage may vary...

Because it never is. It's a variant/edition/cut of the movie "King Arthur". For example "Blade Runner" has five different cut versions, among them the "Director's Cut" and the "Final Cut". It's still "Blade Runner".

Why isn't it part of the title, Karsten. It is the On Screen title. Why do you know more than the filmmakers. They made the decision.

DC is very clearly part of the title. It is NOT a possessive, the Rules do not allow for any other sourc but the Rules do say "The authoritative source for information submitted should be the DVD itself.".

"Director's Cut" is specifically a selection in the Edition Field drop down selection list, therefore for the purposes of DVDP it belongs in the Edition Field......period!

I like "Extended Unrated Director's Cut" like written on back cover. This combines the whole Editon imo.
"Extended Unrated Version - Director's Cut" or "Director's Cut - Extended Unrated Version" would also be Ok and i think this would also give no cause for a No-Vote.
