extended cut
Longer film release
An extended cut is a version of a film that includes footage not shown in the theatrical release—deleted scenes, longer sequences, or restored material.
Studios release extended cuts on home video to attract buyers who already saw the original: The extended cut adds twenty minutes of character development.
Distinguished from a director's cut, which reflects the filmmaker's preferred vision rather than simply more footage.
