RE: Perhaps it doesn't occur to you and the other guy that


>> "Director’s cut" has lost all meaning today. Mega budget productions like The Lord of the Rings are made with the DVD market in mind. I don't remember the exact figure, but in 1997 (the year I referred to in my previous post), the theatrical run constituted about 1/3 of the revenue. 1/3 was from home video and 1/3 from TV runs. Merchandizing was not factored in.>>

I don't think this is the case at all with Lord of the rings. Jachson may well have been aware that he may have to make cuts when he was shooting but anyone who takes a look at what went into making this trilogy would have to be terribly cynical to think that Jackson or any of the artisans were focused on the marketing aspects of this film. This was a work of passion.

Not to mention that the whole way of making movies has changed. The first new Star Wars movie took 365 days to finish. 65 days of that was traditional filmmaking, albeit against blue screens. The other 300 days were what in the old days was known as postproduction.>>

This is nothing new. The Exorcist took longer. heck the original Star Wars was quite the post production ordeal. Much more so than any of the later Star Wars movies.
