In what should prove to be a part of great word for Tarantino fans , the director has revealed that there ’s in reality another version ofDjango Unchainedthat is longer than the 165 - minute one that played theatrically in 2012 , and that there are programme to release the alternate variation somewhere down the route . As Tarantino toldSlashfilm :
I ’ve actually cut a film director ’s thin ofDjango . That ’s about like three hour and 15 min , or three hours and 20 minutes , something like that . That ’s one I would n’t do as a miniseries , because it would just be better [ as a movie ] . I thought about that idea , but that would just work better as one movie . Just a longer one as far as I was concerned . So I ’ve in reality done that . We ’re just kind of waiting some time afterOnce Upon A sentence in Hollywood , and we ’ll discharge that eventually .
In the same interview , Tarantino let the cat out of the bag about his surprising decision to recut his WesternThe Hateful Eightinto a multi - episode versionfor release onNetflix . It sounds as though there are no plan to giveDjango Unchainedthe same miniseries treatment , but there is a foresighted interpretation that adds around 30 minute of footage not seen in the theatrical cut , which it seems will get a releasesome time after Tarantino ’s recent movieOnce Upon a Time in Hollywoodhits theaters . Unfortunately , in the same interview Tarantino say there are no program for an extendedKill Bill The Whole Bloody Affairminiseries as all the footage he has available has already been used .
Of course , director ’s cut of moviesare not always great newsfor fans , as sometimes they result in bloated version that only serve to demonstrate why the extra footage was sheer out of the moving picture in the first property . It stay to be see if Tarantino ’s extended cut ofDjango Unchainedwill indeed give audiences an improved experience , or prove to be a small too much of a good thing .
