these films could look very different
welcome to watchmojo.com Ovie's that may
exist for this list we're looking at the
rumored alternative versions of films
that are currently unreleased but
supposedly exists somewhere times but
new time number 10 Star Wars Episode
nine the rise of Skywalker the Star Wars
sequel trilogy has proven quite divisive
you're coming together although which
film is the most argued over is still a
matter of debate itself there's no
denying that the finale
the rise of Skywalker has the most
people talking at the moment part of
that is due to a supposed three-hour cut
of the film that contains material
excised from the final product by the
studio that's how we're gonna win not
fighting what we hear
even what we love
some of these removed scenes reportedly
included subplots for supporting
characters and more detailed
explanations of things that appeared
ambiguous like Han Solo's appearance to
kylo Ren and the appearance of Jedi
force ghosts in the final battle
that's what Snoke wants you to believe
but it's not true whether this cut
nicknamed the JJ cut for director JJ
Abrams will ever surface only time will
tell
number 9 Superman Returns one of the
oddest superhero films out there
Superman Returns acts as a pseudo sequel
to the old Richard Donner Superman
movies but with Bryan Singer at the helm
you wrote that the world doesn't need a
Savior
but every day I hear people crying for
one but like Donner before him singer's
vision for the Man of Steel wasn't
entirely translated to screen great
season
the original cut featured several
subplots such as Clark Kent struggling
with whether he wanted to be Superman
anymore and also one that would have
delved more into Lex Luthor's plans and
motivations
you can print money manufacture diamonds
and people are a dime a dozen but
they'll always need land it's the one
thing you're not making anymore in
addition an extended opening that showed
Superman's return to Krypton was shot
and nearly finished although it may not
exist
fans have long clamored for an extended
or director's cut of the movie number
eight accidental love originally begun
is an adaptation of the novel Sammy's
Hill director David O'Russell ran into
numerous production difficulties on this
movie
that's your crazy brain turning on
itself Alice you can't fix a crazy brain
with crazy thinking it's broken talking
to bro Caen numerous production delays
financial difficulties actors quitting
and more how did production to the point
where Russell eventually disowned the
project after being asked to return for
reshoots while several producers had
their pay cut rakeesha expects me to
leave you see the other little balls
they hurt in the engine who's leading me
I cry for you I cry for you the
assembled version released in theaters
was widely derided as an unfunny
romantic comedy but we have to wonder if
a cut assembled by Russell when it was
known under the name nailed might have
been better and more in line with its
source material well I came here to find
my core and I'm only two-thirds of the
way there
I have no idea what that means but can
that happen like in the next half hour
number seven alien 3 director David
Fincher's filmography is loaded with
hits but his debut feature film is not
one that gets mentioned very often when
his work is discussed like many films on
our list alien 3 was subjected to a lot
of studio interference which prevented
Fincher's vision from being realized on
screen issues Wilma control hated effect
although an extended assembly cut of the
movie has been released showing some
deleted footage Fincher was not involved
in said assembly
given that venture was brought in to
direct last minute it's possible that
his idea of what alien 3 should look
like wouldn't be any better than what we
already have but it would be nice to
know for sure especially considering
that he basically disowned the movie in
a 2009 article with the Guardian

number six American History X the
conflicts between producers and
directors that we've spoken of thus far
are positively tame compared to the one
between director Tony Kaye and New Line
Cinema there was a moment I used to
blame everything and everyone for all
the pain and suffering and vile things
that happened to me
although Kay delivered multiple cuts of
the movie to the production company they
were not satisfied the arguments between
the two allegedly groups so acrimonious
that Kay took out newspaper
advertisements to communicate with the
company sorry Jer eventually the cut of
the film that was released in theaters
was assembled by newline with film
editor Jerry greenberg and lead actor
Edward Norton although this version has
been well received in the original
footage is rumored to have been
destroyed we have to wonder if some part
of Kay's vision survived somewhere think
I've thought about that they're gonna
come for me they're gonna come for me
then nothing I can do number five Batman
Forever Joel Schumacher is famous or
infamous for bringing a can't be your
tone to the Batman films he directed in
the 1990s
but his first film about the Dark Knight
was originally intended to be a little
darker and less over-the-top home
slightly less the theatrical cut of
Batman forever left around 40 minutes of
material on the cutting room floor
among the excised scenes included more
focus on the film's female characters as
well as an involved subplot about Batman
dealing with his guilt over his parents
deaths that certainly sounds like it
would have given several characters more
interesting arts I'm flattered
not every girl makes a superheros night
table although demand isn't exactly high
a director's cut is something diehard
fans would like to see number 4 dune
based on the epic sci-fi novel of the
same name dune already has a complex
mythology in place but adding surrealist
director David Lynch into the mix is a
recipe for confusion particularly when
the studio didn't give him say on the
final cut a beginning is a very delicate
time know then that it is the year
10,000 191 the known universe is ruled
by the padishah Emperor Shaddam the
forth already divisive among fans of the
source material the heavily cut-down
theatrical cut was rendered nearly
incomprehensible to critics and
audiences since it was shortened by
almost an hour from Lynch's first
version although Lynch has since
distanced himself from the movie many
are interested to know of his three-hour
director's cut would flow any better
than the one that bombed in theaters
spice must flow number three the
Magnificent Ambersons Orson Welles is
today regarded as one of the best
directors of all time but his reputation
was not enough during his own time to
save this film from studio interference
the only public advance was the
streetcar
a lady could whistle to it from an
upstairs window the car would halt at
once wait for him after test audiences
responded negatively towards wells 'as
more bleak version of the Magnificent
Ambersons RKO Pictures cut out over 40
minutes of footage while wells was out
of the country shooting another movie I
think man's minds are going to be
changed in subtle ways because of
automobiles it may be the judges right
although the theatrical cut is still
highly regarded film buffs still yearn
to see Welles version for themselves and
while the footage is thought to be
forever lost rumors persist that it
survives somewhere try and understand
it's not doing either of us any good
going on arguing this way
number 2 Fantastic Four plenty of people
have criticized director Josh Trank's
Fantastic Four but few people are as
angry about the final product as Trank
himself this is all my fault that we can
agree on the director has been vocally
critical of the theatrical cut of this
superhero film with actor Tony Campbell
concurring that tranqs version was
superior if the original script is
anything to go by it likely would have
featured actual character development
and more faithfulness to the source
material we should use these powers to
do something they're not powers they're
aggressively abnormal physical
conditions occur in a fix can not run at
all and what if they came low bars yes
but Fantastic Four fans are still eager
to see if tranqs cut could clobber the
existing version as he claims

yeah you all saw this one coming
still for those taken by surprise and
not in the know director Zack Snyder was
forced to step away from Justice League
after a personal tragedy
you're an inspiration Diana you don't
just save people make them see their
better selves in order to reportedly
keep their bonuses for we mean keep the
movie on track Warner Brothers brought
on Joss Whedon during post-production
just like a bad I dig it
Whedon ended up writing and directing
some new scenes for reshoots and his
involvement resulted in some tonal
dissonance in the flannel film with
scenes characters and even color
palettes cut from the new version fans
have been basically demanding the Snyder
cuts in Sweden took over and rumors have
been circulating ever since with Snyder
and cast members lending credence to
them whether it will ever be released
though and if it exists at all we'll
have to wait and see do you agree with
