Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, this aired October 1970, 21 months after opening on Broadway. A few other actors from the original cast who returned for the movie are also missing at this point. David Ford (Hancock), Jonathan Moore (Lyman Hall), and Ken Howard (Jefferson). The replacement actor...
Shout Factory says "Product Note: Extras in progress and will be announced at a later date." That's promising news! About time. This and Beetlejuice are among my favorite movies, and it's been a shame the two have had sparse special features this late in the game.
I hope at the very least we...

I sure hope so. It's tough to know exactly what was filmed. The September 23, 1991 draft, widely available online, has even less content than the novelization. whatever draft that was based on, earlier or later. The novel is told in flashback with bridging scenes featuring Columbus's son...
A collection of interview and behind the scenes clips, primarily from the "Eye of the Storm" doc on Ridley Scott from 1992, someone merged for a Making of video. Best part is an extended sequence showing Vangelis putting the soundtrack together:
"Eye of the Storm" is also on YouTube.
I've been on a bit of a nostalgic kick with the 30th anniversary of the film's release approaching. I've been looking at my copy of the movie novelization (yes one was written) and noticing again all the scenes that were deleted, even from the international cut which runs a bit longer than the...
What a pleasure it was to not only see the theatrical cut in HD and widescreen for the first time, but to listen to the laserdisc commentary as well! Since 2000, I've owned a VHS rip of the laserdisc cut. The one time I bought a laserdisc player off ebay, it didn't work and I was discouraged...
Allansfirebird,

As you'll see, it's actor Rex Robbins' (Roger Sherman) donated copy of the shooting script. It also includes the...
TR confirmed the scene with Hancock was filmed back when we were discussing the blu ray release. I would imagine the other two bits were as well.
You're probably right about this being the last release, I was shocked we're even getting this! I thought the 2015 blu ray was going to be it. If, a...
Nuns on the Run. The US DVD release is long out of the print. Good cast (Eric Idle, Robbie Coltrane) and directed by Jonathan Lynn (Clue, My Cousin Vinny).
In the mid 90s, Ted Turner released a pile of TV movies on American Indian history for TNT, the first of which was Geronimo. It starred...
Wow, what rock have I been living under? Great news! Between the four cuts, we'll have every scrap of footage released so far, deleted scenes, alternate takes, original theatrical takes, underscoring and sound effects together at last.
I say so far because there's still bits of deleted...
A little something you'll probably all enjoy. The complete shooting schedule taken from Rex Robbin's shooting script. He played Roger Sherman of Connecticut. You'll see his notations throughout. Part one.
One last piece, this details William Goldman's involvement in the screenplay and where it was at the time he came on board. From his fantastic book, "Which Lie Did I Tell: More Adventures in the Screen Trade."
Finally, deleted scene 7. The Joan Barry material I posted yesterday would be number 6. Here is a short scene between Chaplin's eldest sons, now adults.
Deleted scene 5: PickFair. There was a bit of reshuffling of scenes at this point in the film. As it played theatrically, after Chaplin returns to London and realizes he "had no home" and plans to make America his permanent residence. The next scene is Chaplin and Fairbanks horseback riding...
True, could be down to only raw footage. That would be a shame. I'm hoping it's a case similar to the movie "1776" where the footage was cut at the final hour so they would be in mostly complete form. If the former then maybe they could pop up in a deleted scenes supplement.
I bought my copy of...
