How Long Is The Mythical Longer Version? Will We Ever Get To See It?


I have seen claims of 30 hours and 5 hours of extra footage thrown around the internet and in videos with the emphasis on Adrien Brody's Fife as the main character and not Whitt.

Do you think we'll have a chance to see it one day?

billy bob thornton recorded a narration

rourke played a sniper

pullman played a coward (like john C mcginley in 'platoon')

Billy Bob Thornton recorded a narration
for the three-hour-plus epic
none of the narration from Thornton is in the final print

several other stars who filmed scenes
were left on the cutting-room floor, including
Bill Pullman, Gary Oldman,
Lukas Haas, Viggo Mortensen, Martin Sheen, and Mickey Rourke

The original cut of the film was just under 6 hours

Awesome, thank you!
