: HI EVERYONE!!
: I finally found the time to read the actual 'supposed' script on the parts concerning Uncas & Alice. I see the director cut out a lot of "nice" scenes of the two. They were sacrificed so more time was spent on Cora & Hawkeye.
: Anyway, how about if we (All us Mohican Fans) get together & ask the producers to re-produce the show, UNEDITED? - Similar to what they did with Star Wars (New Edition). I would love to see more of the CUT SCENES. Or maybe if they would offer an Un-edited version for sale, they could make a decent profit because I would spend just about anything to get that version.
Well, Judy, glad you found us! Unfortunately, we already DID band together in calling for a Director's Cut version of LOTM, back in November. We did actually hear back from Michael Mann's office - I do know that he received the package of letters we sent - but, at this time, the fate of our venture remains in limbo. It is something we will again pursue! Relentless is my middle name!
Just as an aside, the network TV version of the film DOES have an added scene or two, though overall it is a butchered endeavor, I feel. It is supposed to be on TNT this year sometime; when we find out when - and we HAVE contacted TNT - we'll let you know!
