Caligola (1979) and Caligula: The Ultimate Cut (2023) question

Caligola (1979)

https://imdb.com/title/tt0080491

Caligula: The Ultimate Cut (2023)

https://imdb.com/title/tt29703523

From this article:

"Adding alternate versions, cuts, or editions as separate titles

Depending on the difference between the original cut and the new one, it may be eligible for a separate title page - however this is uncommon."

Is it okay for this title to have two pages or should they be merged just like, for example, Apocalypse Now and Redux version?

Every shot in The Ultimate Cut is an alternate take/angle, none of it was used in the original. It also has a new wraparound score, a new title sequence, and all new ADR for the non-English speaking cast. I was the film editor on The Ultimate Cut, it was cut together from the ground up, working from scans of the original negatives. It is a completely different film.

Hi @plur62 -

Based on the differences @Aaron_Shaps described, the second title (for the uncut version) would be eligible to be listed as a separate title listing.

Cheers!
