We need to start a campaign, we need to write Focus Features and demonstrate to them the viability for them and the need by us for a director's cut version.

Tell you what, I'm all for seeing deleted scenes, but don't call it "a director's cut." It's been said elsewhere by folks more movie-savvy than me, that with Ang Lee, what we've got is "the director's cut."

Shakesthecoffecan:
Thanks for the heads up. "The Directors Cut" it shall be.

I apologize for being a little bit snarky in my previous post, but what I meant was, it's been said that with Ang Lee as the director, the movie as it exists now is "the director's cut."

There may have been scenes filmed that were left out of the final version, such as Ennis standing by "the grieving plain," but, sure enough, they were left out by Ang Lee's choice, not because someone else, at Focus Features or wherever, decided they had to be cut.

So any hypothetical re-edit of the film to include any deleted footage won't be "a" or "the" "director's cut." We already have the director's cut, what Ang Lee wants the audience to see, in the film as it now exists.
