showed off an early four hour cut of the film while it's unlikely that the film was ever planning on releasing a version of the film that long in theaters it does go to show that there still seems to be a decent amount of content that director matt reeves has put at his disposal for potential directors cuts or more importantly for me potential bonus features to be attached to the movie and all that kind of stuff all right let's talk about this for a second number one whenever you hear reports about early test screenings it's just just assume the moment you hear a report of anything about early test screens is unless it comes from the studio itself or it comes from the hollywood reporter or variety if it comes from there you know that's real so there was a test screening of four hours number two contrary to what was asked in the question they didn't cut this movie down to three hours like they said in coming soon this was they were never going to release a four-hour version it's just that once you make this a movie you make it and then you start the process of editing it and editing it down mel gibson when i quote this all the time mel gibson once famously said on the extra features of braveheart he said cutting out scenes of your movies like killing one of your own children because you you spend years planning prepping building sets getting everybody on set spending days or even weeks filming a certain sequence and then you cut it out of the movie but you always have to do what's best removed but still early in the process you're going to have a longer version and it's going to get shorter and shorter and shorter and shorter but what it does tell me is that the fact that they even got down to a screening version of this that was at four hours tells me matt reeves has a lot to say because you think probably a lot of material got cut out of this movie before that screening stage so it tells me he's got a lot to say it tells me that there is probably going to be a lot of bonus feature stuff to going into this and it tells me it makes the three hour run time make more sense now that three hour run time starts to make more sense that tells me that matt wasn't just because look i love peter jackson but guys one of peter jackson's biggest flaws to me especially after lord of the rings was never wanting to cut out any of his own material you especially saw that in his king kong movie because there was like a there was a good NUMBER_TOKEN minutes to an hour that movie that could have been cut out but what this tells me is that matt reeves because if you just to see a three hour one time thinking well maybe it's just filled with a lot of fluff if they were screening a four hour version that means this three hour version we're getting is the lean version of this movie and that excites me yeah that excites me a lot we want to take a minute and thank the sponsors of this video liquid iv now listen just one stick of liquid iv added to NUMBER_TOKEN ounces of water will hydrate you faster and more efficiently than just water alone it contains five essential vitamins like bNUMBER_TOKEN bNUMBER_TOKEN bNUMBER_TOKEN bNUMBER_TOKEN and of course vitamin c with three times the electrolytes as traditional sports drinks and what makes
