And besides, the point in your post that I was responding to was your assertion that since Stone shot 300,000 feet of footage compared to ALEXANDER's 1.5 million, that you "doubted" a Director's Cut was possible. Exactly how do you surmise that 58 hours worth of raw footage on WORLD TRADE CENTER excludes the possibility of putting together a new cut of the film, especially when Mr. Cage saw an earlier edit that he has publically said he thought was the final version and was an entirely different film tonally?

I didn't read the Cage interview, but did see Cage on Charlie Rose where he
only talked about one scene that Stone cut from the theatrical version.
Stone himself in reference to a question about deleted scenes or a director's
cut, said he shot very little on the film and what you see (in the theatrical
cut) IS HIS VERSION OF THE FILM. End of story. Like I said, if Paramount
releases another version later on down the line, it won't be a Stone re-edit,
but simply a Sony-like hack job of putting the deleted scene(s) back in.
'Alexander' was a HUGE project, the biggest of Stone's career past, present
or future, and opens itself up to multiple re-edits more than 'WTC' does. 58
hours is a heck of a lot of footage, but nothing compared to what 1.25
million equals.
