Director's cuts

[Toadbully]

Now that Zack Snyder gets to make the Snyder cut of Justice League,
and the rumored Ayer cut of Suicide Squad, I was thinking of some other director's cuts I want to see...
I love movies that change DRAMATICALLY after a good directors cut, for better or for worse.
I thought the LEGEND and KINGDOM OF HEAVEN director's cuts were fascinating.

1) 13th Warrior. There exists out there, somewhere, another version of 13th Warrior when it was still called Eaters of the Dead. Would love to see McTiernan's cut of "EATERS of the DEAD" with the original score put back in as well.
2) Rogue One and Solo. I doubt this will ever happen, but I would love to see alternate cuts of these movies considering just how much was shot.
3) Event Horizon (which hopefully is already happening)
4) Supernova. I'd be curious to see the original version
5) A Fincher supervised cut of Alien 3. (Would never happen, but I still feel like the best version of Alien 3 lies somewhere between the two cuts. And if they can fix up some of the compositing effects with the Alien, all the better.
6) Prometheus. Would love to see an alternate cut.
7) Alien Covenant. Same thing here. Would love some of the scenes rearranged, especially in the middle. Also would like Shaw's story put back in, as short as it is.
8) There are a bunch of fan edits, but would LOVE an official HOBBIT movie that just follows the book. There's a 4 hour cut out there that's amazing, even the FX they did to fix some shots, but some things just can't be fixed without access to the original material. I really wish New Line would consider making a 4 hour cut.

Batman Forever Director's Cut. I'd like to see that.

1- Terminator Salvation
2- Evil Dead II (even if the deleted scenes had never been retrieved)
3- The Crow: City of Angels - the original cut was BRILLIANT
4- Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
5- X-Men: Apocalypse

I was going to also mention that, but wasn't there already one?

It would be cool to see the 8 or 9 hour (or longer?) cut of Greed (1924).

I heard that Ad Astra was taken out of James Gray's hands and though I emotionally connected to the cut released, I'm still curious to see what his initial version might have looked like.

Yeah, and it barely makes any difference: it's only 3 minutes longer and still no extinction.

If McG was trying to make an R-rated future war movie, he clearly wasn't trying very hard. All he had to cut was a guy getting stabbed in the shoulder with a screwdriver and a little Moon Bloodgood side boobs, that's it.

That director's cut bluray that came out, was just for marketing purposes.
There is indeed a much different version that exists.
I'd also include this on my list.

Isn’t there a rumoured director’s cut of The Assassination of Jessy James by the Coward Robert Ford? That’s one I’d like to see.

Whedon himself has stated that the theatrical run of the movie was more or less the version he preferred, but we’d still love to see the film that pieces together all the lost footage. The removed scene with Mal and Inara, while not very long, speaks volumes about their relationship together. Maybe Whedon will go back and make a final cut, or if he prefers, leave it as it stands now. After all, he created the universe.

The Thing (2011) was filmed with practical effects and intended to be finished with mostly practical effects, but Universal thought they looked bad and they needed to be completely redone with CGI (the rumor is that they wanted to make them look like the video game Dead Space as that game series was popular around the time and they wanted to get the money of gamers), which lead to the garbage effects we have now. I want a director's cut with the practical effects restored. Here's some videos showcasing the practical effects:
