Writes JimBob: “The director’s cut of Gods and Generals, which includes Lee’s [attempted liberation of Maryland] and the bloodiest day in American history, Antietam, will not be released until 2005.

“The film only did 12-15 million at the box office and Ted Turner won’t bankroll the final installment until he at least makes his money back on this one. Thus, they’ve released the theater version now, then will wait 2yrs and hope everyone goes out and buys the 6+ hour version!”

Chris, I too have the DVD of the extraordinary Gods and Generals. This is the theatrical release; the six-hour director’s cut is due out, I believe, in October. This four-hour version continues to sell very well–#6 on Amazon. When you’ve watched it, let us know what you think.
