Exclusive: AndrewDominik Talks Extended Cut of TheAssassinationofJesseJames: “There Is a Better Version” Dominik talks about the rumored four-hour cut, and what ended up on the cutting room floor.
While the film The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford from director Andrew Dominik wasn’t a hit when it was released in 2007, the revisionist Western has earned quite a following in the 15 years since it first came out.
“It should be [on Criterion]. I would really like to see the long version, the first cut that I saw, released on Criterion. That’s what I’d hope for… It was over three hours. I don’t think it ever will, because last time I talked to Andrew about it he was quite happy with the version that got released. But I still remember that first early cut that I saw that was like three and a quarter I think, and it was pretty stunning. There was a four-hour version.

There was never a four-hour version that was any good, believe me.” However, longer doesn’t always mean better, but Dominik states that not only is his three-hour The Assassination of Jesse James the better version, but so is another version that includes just five extra minutes. “I think it’s better.
Whether we will see this either longer cut of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is anyone’s guess, but it certainly seems like Dominik’s preferred version should absolutely get an audience at some point.
