Taken 2 coming...

'Uncut' version passed for video with a '15':

Presumably this is the PG-13 version though, rather than the UNRATED edit the director mentioned.

It says it restores the cuts made in the cinema version so I dont know If the '15' version = PG13 it would mean our 12A cinema version was cut even more than in America which sounds ridiculous but then again....
Could 2 versions be classified - 1 for DVD, 1 for BD?

The uncut '15' version is only 1:14 longer than the pre-cut '12' version.

The director confirmed (though he may be exaggerating a little...) that the unrated cut will be 10 mins longer.

Possibly an "Extended Harder Cut" a la Taken is on the cards after all?

It's pretty likely that it'll get an unrated DVD release shortly, many of the recent Besson vehicles have in the States such as Colombiana, Lockout, and the original Taken, although frustratingly, the uncut versions of the Transporter movies haven't (apparently the only uncut version of the first is the French one and the second is available uncut in France and the UK, Yuen Kwai's work is terrific in the first two). So this may well follow suit.

Looks like the unrated is very exclusive. You can only buy it on Blu-Ray, and when you try to rent it from iTunes, it's only for purchase and not for rental. Bastards .
