Apparently, Quentin Tarantino left enough of Django Unchained on the cutting room floor that he wants to re-edit the film:
“My idea, frankly, is to cut together a four-hour version of 'Django Unchained,'” he said on Friday. “But I wouldn’t show it like a four-hour movie. I would cut it up into hour chapters. Like a four-part miniseries. And show it on cable television. Show it like an hour at a time, each chapter.”
Tarantino won a best original screenplay Oscar for the film. More at Variety.
