After attending 3 screenings and reading the first version of the screenplay for Django Unchained I’m curious about a 4 hour cut of the movie. Are you curious what makes me so curious?
While the first screening of the film I have had the impression that the movie has been “too short” and there is something missing among this riveting and nailing-you-to-the-chair scenes. The actual cut is very dynamic, I must admit that. However after you had read the screenplay and you have noticed that there is more, you just want to see more.
Also there are scenes that are not in the first draft of the script, but were filmed and did not make it to the movie – so we have plenty of material to watch…
…they will fit on a blu-ray nicely thanks to it’s huge capacity
There are few at least few scenes in the script that I really want to see in the movie, we even have flashes form these scenes in few trailers for Django. For few reasons they did not make it to the theatrical cut of the film. We also have few dialogs/monologs on the soundtrack that are not in the moive (yet), the OST has been released prior the movie premiere (at least in the US).
I’m waiting for an extended / director’s / alternative cut of the film, not because I don’t like the first one, but because I just want more of it.
