This Film Needs A "Final Cut" version

[deleted]

I like Jerry Goldsmith's work, but watching the Director's Cut, the music reminds me too much of Star Trek.

Every person that served can be called a veteran, but not every veteran can be called a Marine.

I'm not sure if Tangerine Dream scored enough music to fit the director's cut. Remember they did the version just under 90 minutes while the longest known surviving version (director's cut) is 113 minutes.

Anyways, somebody on originaltrilogy.com did post about a fan edit where he added all the exclusive footage of the US cut back into the director's cut to create the longest possible version of the film. It apparently adds another 5 minutes to the 113 minute version.

I hope Ridley Scott would allow this extended edition to see a legal release alongside his other cuts, a sort of fan's choice version. It also would be nice to have the opportunity to get all 3 current versions in one set.

so
US theatrical version (not on UK bluray)
international theatrical cut (not on US dvd or blu-ray)
director's cut (available on blu-ray and region 1 dvd)
director's cut extended (footage found in either theatrical cut but not already in existing 113 min DC edited in)

If Ridley wanted to revisit this film and make some changes, he easily could. But perhaps he is either satisfied with the director's cut, or he's not tempted to make another version seeing how the film doesn't have a large enough following. Who knows.

Having said that, as someone who prefers the Tangerine Dream Score, I would absolutely love to see a version like that. I also believe they can find a way to fill the Director's Cut with Tangerine's marvelous score.
