a blue velvet treasure trove has been unearthed

Here’s something that sounds pretty exciting. A bunch of deleted scenes have been found and will be coming out on blu-ray:

Apparently according to this article, Blue Velvet was originally the length of about 4 movies. The studio made him cut it down to a 2 hour film. Interesting.

i would watch a new 3 or 4 hour version especially because i haven’t seen it in about 17.4 years and can’t remember it very much

Hopefully it has more scenes of Dennis Hopper drinking copious amounts of Pabst Blue Ribbon.

I have no real love for this particular film but I find it extremely sad that footage from a film, and an acclaimed film at that, from 1986 was lost!!!!!!

1986! Lynch! Wow. I wonder which films from this year will end up buried in Seattle in 17 years.

Here’s a link to his radio interview where he discusses the found footage:
