From IGN: July 10, 2006 - With DVD sales of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe doing fantastically well, Disney may be planning to release an extended director's cut of the movie on disc later this year. According to a report at UltimateDisney.com, the studio is considering a special four-disc boxed set that would include scenes and footage cut from the picture's theatrical release.

A few days ago, that was still just a rumor, but there is now official confirmation available at the website of this year's Comic-Con, the popular comic and genre film convention. Apparently, Disney is already preparing to build hype for the director's cut; they'll be showing scenes from the extended film cut at the popular Comic-Con in San Diego later this month. The website's event listing page shares some details:

"Academy Award-winning producer Mark Johnson … will preview never-before-seen footage from the upcoming four-disc limited-edition Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe DVD. You'll see all-new scenes from the director's cut of the film and hear some exciting details about this new release."

"Disney's presentation will be held on Saturday the 22nd from 3:45 to 4:45. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest will also be featured, and exclusive collectibles from both films will be made available to attendees."
