The big chill. That movie was a huge hit in 1980s about a group of people who were friends in college and now are reuniting in their 30s because one of their ex friends died and although you never actually see their deceased friends face, there was a filmed flashback sequence in which the character was played by Kevin Costner.

Dune's director said there will be no director's cut, and that the cut scenes will not be seen, period.

pretty sure it was said that Tim Blake Nelson was going to be Count Fenring.

I was glad to see Christopher Lee as Saruman in the Return of the King Extended Edition. However, they should never have cut him out of the theatrical version. It still feels like blasphemy.

Obviously any discussion on this topic will suffer from recency bias. For several decades the most famous example of this was Kevin Costner being cut from Lawrence Kasdan's "The Big Chill". He played the character whose funeral was the impetus for the friends gathering (in flashbacks of course). The Big Chill ended up being a huge film and to make it up to him Kasdan cast Costner in a flashy role in his next film: Silverado. Costner's performance in Silverado was essentially what made him a star.

Peter Jackson really stabbed Christopher Lee in the back by cutting his scene. Or, wait, that was Grima...

A 5 hour cut of Once upon a time in Hollywood? I need it 😫

Paul Rudd really was in Bridesmaids, his character was just so tiny that nobody saw him. 😺

Was fully expecting to see Rik Mayall mentioned here in his role as Peeves the Poltergeist in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Saruman did not die in the Lord Of The rings. Saruman takes over the Shire in The Lord of the Rings through his underling, Lotho Sackville-Baggins. This takeover occurs during the Scouring of the Shire chapters, when the four leading Hobbits return home after destroying the Ring and find that Saruman has enslaved the Hobbits and destroyed much of the Shire. Saruman then industrializes the Shire, causing major changes that many Hobbits resent

It's weird seeing mention of Christopher Lee and Lord of the Rings without the stabbing story being brought up.

10 actors who demanded to be cut out from huge movies

Tobey McGuire was cut from Empire Records and Seth Green was cut from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie.

3 Members of N’Sync filmed a scene for Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones. They were Jedi/had to learn how to wield a lightsaber for the battle in the arena. Their inclusion was cut. See Hot Ones N’Sync interview

Stephen McKinley Henderson filmed scene for Part Two but was cut out. Confirmed by Villeneuve.

What about Shailene Woodley in TASM2?

In one of his Netflix stand up, Whitehall shows screenshots of him doing fucking press interviews for the movie

Michael McKean, Troy Evans, Susan Kellerman, Gary Riley and Richard Herd were supposed to have bigger roles in Planes, Trains and Automobiles but a lot was cut. Kellerman is the waitress who is seen briefly when John Candy and Steve Martin's characters realize they were robbed. Riley played the pizza delivery guy who robs them because he felt cheated out of a good tip. McKean is the trooper who is actually in Wisconsin telling them they overshot Chicago which explains why it takes them so long to get back to Chicago in the back of the truck. Evans played the truck driver who actually got a whole week's worth of pay because of the movie's schedule even though he briefly appears on screen. Evans had been hired but his scene wasn't filmed for 3 days meaning he got paid to rest in a motel waiting to be called to the set.

Farrah Fawcett had been cast in a subplot in the Gene Wilder comedy Funny About Love. But her role as a lover of Wilder was cut out completely. Considering the movie was slammed by critics, many said it was a good thing for Fawcett to be cut out of the movie.

Shaylene Woodley The Amazing Spiderman 2

Honorable mention: All of Kevin Spacey's scenes in the John Paul Getty movie was cut and refilmed with Christopher Plummer replacing him.

No one talks about Dave Bautista's nearly invisible role in so many movies.

Rik mayall beimg cut from harry potter was a tragedy

I don’t know if this exactly counts since he’s still in the movie; Jeremy Brett in My Fair Lady. His vocals for the song, On The Street Where You Live was dubbed over. The director had decided that Brett’s vocals were too mature sounding for his character (whatever the hell that means). Brett was incredibly upset about it.

The official line is that Dune Part Two's deleted scenes will remain deleted.

Yesterday was an incredible movie. I have it on DVD and the Special Features contains the deleted scene with Ana de Armas. I completely disagree that it would have drawn focus away from the love story between Jack and his long time paramour, Ellie. It was a great scene and I believe it should have been left in the movie. When I first saw that cut scene, I didn't even know who de Armas was! All I knew was James Corden put Jack on the spot and told him to make up a song on the spot and suggested that it be about de Armas' character, who was sitting on the couch next to him. Corden says, "Make up a song about something," and Jack obliged, playing the George Harrison classic, pretending to be inventing it in the spur of the moment. It was fun to watch as the audience is blown away by Jack's "talent," all the while knowing that he was just playing Beatles tunes and taking credit for them. Great movie, and that scene should have been left in!!!

Tracey Ullman had her role in Death Becomes Her cut as she was supposed to help Bruce Willis' character escape. But test audiences hated the original ending and a funnier one was filmed where Goldie and Meryl's body fall apart literally.

I vote for Judy Garland - Valley Of The Dolls.

Andrew Robinson played a CIA agent in cahoots with crooked military officer played by Michael Ironside in Extreme Prejudice. However, Walter Hill cut all his scenes as it seemed to take the focus away too much from Nick Nolte's Texas Ranger lead.

Is there a Roth cut of Once Upoin a Time… In Hollywood??

I actually think the book ending for Saruman is better, he actually takes over the Shire and is eventually killed by Samwise of all people. However his death curses the land on which he dies, which is literally the stoop of Bag End.

Damn that ending was jarring. Dude didn't even finish his sentence.

Jim Rash was cut out of both "Minority Report" and "Terminal".

I would say it is one thing to have your scene cut out off the film on other is to film your scene and the find out that they have replace you because you are to famous and here is the actor that replaced you and he says those lines you did.

The movies I would refuse to watch would be any movie that even had a rumour of tom cruise, joker, or the bat-freak.

Thd case against the film studio behind Yesterday was not thrown out it was settled.

They really messed up the end of Return of the King.

In Futurama, who plays the invisible character who doesn't speak?

Oh hey, what's up new guy? Seems like a good addition to the team!

Anchorman 2 was better than the first movie. A much bigger hit and funnier in my opinion. Both subjectively and objectively I have to argue with you on that one.

Anna Paquin X-Men Days of Future Past

Weird seeing Sean, talking about something other than Trek or Who... though not unwelcome 😊

Did they really go specifically to see Anna D'Armes or were they just trying make a few quid?

What happened to ellie littlechild

Bridesmaids "managable 2 hours"... lol, man its a comedy. I cant stand how long Paul Feigs movies are... they are all over stuffed and looooong. JUST LEAVE PAUL RUDD IN, lol

Yesterday was a terrible movie and it would not have made it worse at all to get to see Ana de Armas on the screen.

Me and Coleman Domingo were cut out "42"

01:58; nope; DV is on record for saying deleted scenes don't exist.

LOTR ROTK, you're leaving out an obvious answer to the whole reason of cutting Saruman short--marketing and sales my man, marketing and sales--what better upsell than an extended DVD release explaining/showing Saruman's final moments--sales dude, it's all about the $$$...yeah yeah someone indeed suffered, but storyline, it wasn't required for a theatrical release, fast, action packed, and the lotr Tolkien nerds got something great out of it=more of their time & $$$ spent, on a cash grab!--hehehe ;p suckers, btw that was me too...:( worth it tho as any LOTR FanBoy will tell you, in extended ;p detailsssssss--as tho you're hearing an audio book retelling--hehehe still, LOTR great trilogy, and very much worth it!

Algorithm 👍🏾

I fell asleep twice trying to watch dune 1. Still haven't finished it. Soo boring

I think they should have won that case. I get sick and tired of trailers that have nothing to do with the movie.

Oh yea?

Second

I don't love Paul Rudd. Actually, I hate him as an actor.

Ana DeArmis was just in too many films, total over exposure and made me ill she was cast to play the iconic American blond bombshell Marilyn Monroe so think her karma caught up to her finally

Christopher Lee was in Return of the King, his death scene was one of the most memorable parts of that movie.
