I just rewatched the DVD... much better film than I remember! As I recall, there is an international cut with a few added scenes, which hints maybe that Branagh never got final cut -- it clocks in suspiciously close to the 2-hour limit that Coppola's Dracula also adhered to. (Actually, speaking of Dracula... do we ever get a SE or uncut version of that?)
Anyway, I'm a big Branagh fan and I thought this film was underrated. I guess it bombed, etc., but perhaps if done cheaply enough, this could find a niche.
Anyone heard any whispers, or maybe know someplace I could grab a legitimate copy of this uncut version?
Cheers.
EDIT: The IMDB says that Bram Stoker's Dracula went through 38 versions in the editing room! Hmmm... what are the chances that the theatrical cut is the best out of the 38? I am definately curious to know what Coppola thinks about this.
