1/5/02 Update: I've since heard from a number of readers who have the original Tombstone laserdisc I mentioned above. Apparently, that outtakes included on it are basically the scenes were restored into the film for this new director's cut, with one exception. There is apparently an additional scene on the laser in which Billy Breckinridge (played by Jason Priestley) kills one of the Cowboys to avenge Fabian and delivers the body to Wyatt. This hasn't been restored to the new cut and it isn't available on the DVD as an outtake or deleted scene. On the laserdisc, Cosmatos also mentions the additional footage seen in the trailers (though the full scenes aren't included there) and indicates that his original cut of the film was nearly three hours long. I'm disappointed that more of this deleted footage wasn't included separately on the DVD.
3 HOURS LONG?!!
I wonder if we will ever see the original 3 hour version. Doesn't the director or studio realize that the same audience that will buy/re-buy the upcoming Vista version would automatically plunk down the cash to get the extended version?
