If you dont wana Read, thats the Director's Version. Dont Worry.

The FULL 10 hour Version is gone. I'd love to see it.

There is no ten hour version. S Leone had Ten hours of footage shot when he finished, some movies have more, like T2. He cut it down to 6, but thought it was too long, and cut it to under 4. There is no higher version then the one that came out just now.

Look. To End this

UNEDITED UNCUT VERSION! 10 Hours

UNEDITED CUT VERSION! 6 HOURS

CANNES FILM FESTIVAL VERSION 3 1/2 HOURS!

THEATRICAL VERSION 3 HOURS

Wrong, 10 hours is how much was shot, not made into it, obviously he wouldn't bother putting it together after 10 hours because it is common sense. Scenes are not shot in order. He he did away with footage, then before he edited everything, he thought of makin a two part movie, but he didn't think that was good, so he cut it further and edited everything in order. There is no 10 or 6 hour version.

There is I belive a Six Hour Version.

Im most likley wrong on the 10 Hour thin but Ive seen an 85 Hour long film on insomnia. NO SHIT!

Six Hours? Might ave been able too been done at Canne.

He did not edit it n order. He wanted at first to release them as two parts like The Godfather, but wanted to make one single picture, so he did away with it and trashed more footage. The only possibility is there MIGHT be a 4 hour or a few minutes longer version but it is HIGHLY unlikely.

O, Now I see.

I always wonder about the Frisbe that then closes to when Noodels Gets out of Prison.

Surely you can't be serious. I am well aware of the film (Cure For Insomnia), but I doubt you have seen it. As I recall reading somewhere, it was shown at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1987.

No, I didnt See It. I mis Worded It. Ive Heard of it.

Actually, I heard that it can't restore the 250 minute version because Sergio Leone did not dub the scenes and could not do it as he died.

NOOOOOOOOO!

Now we'll never see it.

10 hours of uncut footage doesnt mean there is a 10 hour version of the movie out there.

and Such is what we deduced. THe Thin Red Line Was a 6 Hour Film cut to 3!

Private Ryan had alot of stuff cut.

Schinlder's List lost about an hour of fotage.

His original film was just over 4 hours. The studio cut it down to 2.5 for the theatres. Leone was depressed by this as they really cut his movie. In either way there was'nt a 10 hour version.

relatives always kiss,
:rolleyes:

WTF?!

That Was pointless!
