An Extended Version of ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ Reportedly Being Planned for Netflix
Earlier this year, an extended version of Quentin Tarantino‘s The Hateful Eight, broken up into “episodes,” made its way onto Netflix, and reports have been circulating around the net this week that Tarantino is planning to give Once Upon a Time in Hollywood a similar treatment in the future. And the rumor is, the extended cut of the film is 4 HOURS LONG.
We already know that Tim Roth had his scenes cut from the film, and Damon Herriman had also recently noted that his performance as Charles Manson was ultimately cut short. But how much truth is there to the rumors that a 4-hour cut is being planned for Netflix? Brought to our attention by Birth.Movies.Death. today, it seems those rumors may be quite true.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor Nicholas Hammond told The Mutuals podcast, “The promise is that like his other film, The Hateful Eight, they just done a 4-hour Netflix version. And I think they’re talking about doing the same. There are some actors like Tim Roth, wonderful actors, who never even made it into the film. I mean, their entire roles got cut.”
The current theatrical version of Tarantino’s ninth film runs 2 hours, 45 minutes long.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
