Director J.J. Abrams has confirmed the recently released Star Wars: The Force Awakens will not have an extended cut when it’s released on DVD/Blu-ray.
Abrams is quoted as saying the following on this and the length of the longest cut of the film:
“There will be deleted scenes, but not an extended version. Probably, if it were with credits, close to two hours and 50 minutes was the first cut.”
The question had been raised as fans were hoping for deleted scenes (including shots that were in the trailers) to be edited back in for an extended or directors cut of The Force Awakens.
Abrams also spoke about Star Wars Episode VIII (which is being directed by Rian Johnson). Abrams had the following to say on the second instalment of the Sequel Trilogy:
“It’s not my movie to talk about, but I will say that Rian’s an amazing writer and director. I’m obviously really excited about what he’s going to do.”
Thoughts on this news? Are you disappointed that the DVD/Blu-ray release of The Force Awakens won’t have an extended cut?
