Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America is About to Get Even More Epic
Sergio Leone has been deceased since 1989, but thanks to his children Andrea and Raffaella Leone, we are still going to see a new, more definitive cut of his classic crime epic Once Upon a Time in America. Apparently the new cut will restore 40 minutes of new footage to the 229 minute version of the film and will now clock in at a little under 4 1/2 hours. The new cut will be supervised by Fausto Ancillai, the sound editor on the original film. Given that Leone shot over ten hours of footage, maybe his children's children will boost the running time to 5 or 6 hours in another 30 years? [Variety]

Near the end of the film, when Deniro sees elizabeth Mcgovern...
James Woods looks out to his son....was that really Deniro's son? This was when Woods calls Deniro to "kill" him, but deniro wouldn't. Woods, instead walks into a trash compactor. I don't remember their characters names, so im using the actors names. ....
One day I hope technology will allow them to retroactively improve Elizabeth McGovern's acting in this film...or to recast her role.
they are already were they wanted
Can I just say what a comfort to uncover somebody who genuinely understands
what they're discussing on the internet. You definitely understand how to bring
an issue to light and make it important. More and
more people ought to check this out and understand this side of
the story. I was surprised that you're not more popular given that
you surely possess the gift.
