I’m pretty sure he said he wanted the originals actually.
He sent slightly mixed signals. There’s the tweet where he said he wants his 70’s movies to look like 70’s movies, but I also seem to remember a tweet where he said that if he were the one to decide if the theatrical cuts were released, they wouldn’t be.
I don’t remember that one and honestly find it pretty hard to believe.
I can’t find it anymore. All I can find is it’s not up to him, so I probably misremembered.
That said, he’s still pretty convinced it’s not happening.
