Grinch extended cut for 25th anniversary


Grinch extended cut for 25th anniversary
The Issue
We need a director's cut of "The Grinch" for all the dedicated fans out there. This 2000 Christmas classic has left a lasting impression on many, including myself. I've been a huge fan ever since I saw the film at the age of five and instantly fell in love with it. This movie inspired me to pursue a career as a actor/director I’ve had the privilege of starring alongside Woody Harrelson and working with Bobby Farrelly on the film Champions. When I was six, I would watch the behind-the-scenes sections of the DVD repeatedly, fascinated by the film making process. This film holds a special place in my heart.
I would love to see all the unseen deleted scenes reintegrated into the film, enhancing the experience for fans. Most of the deleted scenes from The Grinch on DVD and Blu-ray are in 480ip and fans are eager to see them released in higher quality, ideally remastered in HD editions. We’re eager to see the additional footage occasionally featured in the ABC Freeform broadcasts each year, along with any other unseen material.
Ron Howard revealed that his original cut of the movie was four hours long, leaving about two hours of footage that didn’t make it to the final version.
Additionally, it would be fantastic to have new bonus features on Blu-ray, including new commentary from Jim Carrey and Taylor Momsen, a gallery of behind-the-scenes pictures, and the original storyboards and concept art. Many Grinch fans are eager to see more of this beloved film.
