Brief Summary
This video discusses the possibility of an extended edition of "Jurassic World Rebirth" due to deleted scenes. The speaker highlights discrepancies between trailer footage and the final cut, focusing on one significant scene that was notably absent. Collider hosted a Q&A where Gareth Edwards mentioned three deleted scenes planned for the home release, one of which he was particularly hesitant to cut. While excited about the potential inclusion of these scenes, the speaker is unsure if they warrant the "extended edition" label, especially compared to "Jurassic World Dominion," whose extended edition significantly altered the film. The main questions are whether these scenes will be considered canon and what impact they will have on the overall narrative.
- Discrepancies between trailers and final movie cut.
- Director Gareth Edwards confirmed three deleted scenes for home release.
- Uncertainty whether the additional content qualifies as an "extended edition".
Missing Scenes from Trailers
The speaker notes that not all scenes from the trailers and TV spots for "Jurassic World Rebirth" made it into the final movie. One particular scene is missing, which was very important for the speaker. This scene was also featured in behind-the-scenes featurettes, making its absence from the final cut even more puzzling and disappointing. The speaker and a colleague, Alistister from Dangerville, were surprised by the removal of this scene, especially as it seemed significant and highly anticipated.
Q&A with Gareth Edwards and Frank Marshall
Collider hosted a Q&A with Frank Marshall and Gareth Edwards, along with an early screening of "Jurassic World Rebirth." During the Q&A, Gareth Edwards mentioned that there were three deleted scenes that would likely be available with the home release. He was fine with cutting two of the scenes, but he was very torn about cutting the third. This suggests that the home release version of the movie will include additional content that was not in the theatrical release.
Extended Edition or Just Deleted Scenes?
The speaker questions whether the inclusion of three deleted scenes qualifies "Jurassic World Rebirth" for an "extended edition" label. The speaker compares it to "Jurassic World Dominion," where the extended edition added 27 minutes of unseen footage and significantly altered the plot. If the scene that Gareth Edwards was hesitant to cut is the one the speaker anticipates, it might only be about two minutes long. The speaker believes that the extended edition of "Jurassic World Dominion" was justified because it included a whole plot sequence missing from the theatrical cut.
Canonical Status of Deleted Scenes
The speaker wonders if the three deleted scenes will be considered canonical to the franchise once they are released on home media. The speaker is particularly hopeful that the scene they have in mind will be made canon, especially if it lives up to their expectations based on featurettes. Despite the uncertainty, the speaker is looking forward to seeing the new scenes, even if they don't amount to a true extended edition.
Confirmed New Scenes
The speaker reiterates that three new scenes have been confirmed for the home release of "Jurassic World Rebirth." While the exact content of these scenes remains unknown, it is apparent which scene Gareth Edwards was reluctant to cut. The speaker encourages viewers to share their thoughts on the cut scene after watching the movie. Despite potential reservations about the impact of these scenes, the speaker is excited to see them and promises to provide details on the channel once they are released.
