So I have a scary thought... what if they don't make a special edition DVD?
What if this is just a Brokie fantasy? I'm just about dying for more, more, more... in terms of out-takes and special features.
I hate to be the one to burst your balloon Amanda, but....
Alternate Takes -- the likelihood that we will ever see the alternate takes is virtually nil. Have you ever known a Deluxe Edition DVD to include multiple takes of the same scene? I have not. We were just damn lucky that we were able to procure the alternate take of Ennis crying.
Extended Scenes -- Well
mayyyybe some... but the intimate stuff? Not likely, IMO. I am speaking specifically of the FNIT & SNIT. A long time ago I read a quote of AL that said that he did not want to exploit Heath and Jake, that he filmed more of the Tent Scene (I think he was referring to FNIT) but he cut it in half bcz he did not want to exploit..... I read that excerpt over two months ago, and I do not have a link to the actual article, so if anyone has the link to it, can you please reference it here? tks.
Director's Cut? -- I am just repeating what someone else has already posted, Ang Lee does not go in for Director's Cuts; the final version of the movie IS the Director's Cut.
Special Features -- yeah, maybe some stuff, if we're
very lucky Jake or Heath will put some stuff on the DVD for us.
Anyway I hate to be the bearer of bad news,
I
more than anyone else would just love to see
ALL 12 of the other takes of FNIT, and
ALL the alternate takes of SNIT, TNIT, any other of the cuddling and romance, etc. etc.
