The latest Planet of the Apes left a lot on the cutting room floor.
At right around 145 minutes, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the longest entry in the entire Apes franchise. As it turns out, the film had a chance to be even longer. Director Wes Ball and the team behind Kingdom trimmed the film down to under two and a half hours, but when you factor in the deleted scenes, there was over three hours of footage that could've been used in the final product.
"There's also probably about 30 or 40 minutes of deleted scenes that in the movie. It was too much movie," the directot explained."Some of it was a shame to cut, some of it would have never worked, but all of it was great to kind of give context to the story and characters. It's just stuff that fell away as is the endless kind of desire to make it as tight as it could possibly be. But a lot of that stuff will be on the DVD and stuff.
"I actually have three minutes of finished VFX that got cut," Ball added."We're still debating whether or not there's appetite to have an 'extended cut,' or something, with that little bit of footage."
