It seems they cut at least 30 minutes from the final edit... That stuff is lost but I would pay for watch that stuff!

I didn't know this. I would also like to know what was cut out.

But isn't the film already almost 3 hrs ?

Final cut edites about 20 minutes... Final is near 165 minutes...

The rough cut was almost 3 hours... The version that was released runs near 160 minutes... 20 minutes or so were cut...

I'd imagine a lot of what was cut was extended or extra "artsy" shots. There's a lot of those moments in the movie as is. Hopefully nothing too interesting was left on the cutting room floor.
