W. Earl Brown: "There is a half hour of Deadwood on the editing room floor"

The A.V. Club

The Dan Dority actor revealed on Twitter Monday that the original cut of the Deadwood: The Movie was 2 hours and 20 minutes, with the final cut coming in at 1 hour and 50 minutes. Brown admits his "big scene" didn't make the final cut, but he understands why. Brown also revealed that the movie's flashback scenes weren't originally popular with the cast until they were refined into a more “impressionistic way of filling in the blanks.” ALSO: What it's like to watch Deadwood: The Movie in Deadwood, South Dakota.
