These days, scenes are left out in purpose to sell the movie later on DVD.

I don't want to SHOCK YOU! But I think you guys already knew this?

In the old days...it was that directors actually had to cut out scenes because of budget issues, problems with editing etc. And the deleted scenes looked really bad.

These days, scenes are left out in purpose to be put into special features in the DVD. More footage is shot than ever before. Now directors shoot scenes for the release movie and the DVD features at the same time.

I bring this up because of this.

neeson has been cut from the Hangover part II. Most likely a stunt to sell the DVD with the scene back in.

A good example these days is Avatar...Obviously, Cameron shot all the earth footage and left it out in purpose so he could make a special cut. because whats a DVD without new content?

And this is happening more often these days...


What do you think? false advertising?



EDIT: Ok, how many of you think that Peter Jackson actually shot those extra scenes, and never planned to put them out on an EE DVD? How many of you? LOTR's. Obviously, he planned the whole thing before he shot the movie.
