1984 Wonder Woman has only one deleted scene, reveals Patty Jenkins

Among other things, Wonder Woman 1984 was criticized for its 150-minute long run. This may be partly because almost nothing is left in the editing room, according to director Patty Jenkins.

“I didn’t cut a lot of scenes in this movie,” said Jenkins in an interview with Collider. “I only cut parts of the scenes. The only scene I can think of that we cut was Steve and Diana calling a taxi outside the Natural History Museum to get to Black Gold. This is the only real scene I think we cut.”

Black Gold, in case you don’t remember, is the cooperative entrepreneur founded by Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) and where he leaves his son Alistair (Lucian Perez) to relax alone.

Unless there was a cool joke to follow, it seems sensible to cut a scene where the main action is Diana (Gal Gadot) and Steve (Chris Pine) simply by getting into a taxi.

Jenkins also talked about whether she would like to do a fashion director’s edition. She said that if she did one, the only difference is that the film’s pace would be slower.

“No. I wouldn’t even want to. The reason is because I grew up with the pace of movies a little bit slower and I think that’s great. And when I show these films to my son, there is no part of him that thinks they are too slow. When you watch Superman or Raiders of the Lost Ark, nothing about it is too slow. “

“We move very fast in the movies now, but that doesn’t add emotion to me. But I’m also a director, so who knows? I may be giving in and just playing in scenes for a long time to sustain the film. Usually the directors do this when you leave them alone. “

“So that’s the only difference I end up having is that I would like to have a little more time and a little more air all over the place in the scenes that we really had anyway. And that’s it. So, if I showed my cut longer, it would be 15 minutes or 10 minutes longer and everyone would say, ‘I couldn’t tell the difference,’ because it would be a little slower pace across the board, so it’s really not worth it. “

Basically, if you thought Wonder Woman 1984 was slow, it could have been slower.
