CRUISING COMING SOON
Well Did you catch the AMC TV show "Sunday Morning Shootout"? If you missed it then I will catch you up. There was an interview with director William Friedkin. This is the man who directed "The French Connection", "The Exorcist" and "The Boys in The Band". In his segment Mr Friedkin said that the long delayed DVD of "Cruising" is being released by Warner Brothers this year. However forget about the missing 40 minutes and heres why.
The missing 40 minutes would of been inserted back into the movie. Warner Brothers wanted to do it! However that footage NO LONGER EXIST. For some reason when UA was sold all the outtakes from lots of movies were thrown away. These movies were "Cruising" "Yentl",
"Rocky II", and infamous "Heaven's Gate".
How sad. Not only were the deleted footage thrown away so were the audio mix tapes and alternate takes. This explaines why "Yentl" has not made it to DVD!
Now some footage is still being re-inserted back into "Cruising" however its not the entire 40 minutes. Now I hope there is a great documentary included on the upcoming DVD. A truthfull documentary about this movie would in fact would be for entertaining then the movie itself!
