I don’t understand why any of this matters. You liked the film or you didn’t, who cares how it got to the place it did?
Because the creative process is both interesting and important.
Personally, I love the final film but I’m also incredibly interested in what could have been. I’d love to see Edward’s first cut. I’d love a great documentary or making-of book that details the production of this film. I also really want to see all the deleted scenes/unused footage (and there’s evidence that there was a LOT of it).
It’d be awesome if Disney put out an ultimate edition on home video that included all those things…
One thing im particularly curious about is how much of the final film is Edwards, and how much is Gilroy? Too bad we’ll probably never know.
