I'm being deadly serious, it would've given Forster a lot for time to get things right with the film.

Could be, but in other interviews he has given a different perspective whereby he says on his other films "you struggle every day to get them made". I wouldn't mind betting the producers took a lot of pressure off and let Forster get on with it creatively during the shoot which must be catnip for a director I would guess.Yeah, Forster as mentioned on more than one occasion how he was not allocated the normal amount of time to edit the film. I'm almost starting to feel for Forster. I know he could have turned down the job, but it seems as though he found himself in an environment that simply wasn't conducive to his creative process.

A few months ago I started a thread asking if Quantum of Solace should be recut because of the film's obvious problems. I really got hammered and told off. The moderator refused my request to make it a poll, which seemed to me blatantly dishonest -- afraid of the results, probably. The hired guns here can't ridicule a poll. No negative opinions allowed. Now I read that director Marc Forster is unhappy with his own edit and wants to recut the film -- or he is recutting it for a special DVD release. So it looks like I was right after all.

I love the cut of QoS exactly as it is frankly.Now I read that director Marc Forster is unhappy with his own edit and wants to recut the film -- or he is recutting it for a special DVD release. So it looks like I was right after all.

The editing throughout the film, for me, is thrilling and cinematically sophisticated.
The aeroplane chase is one of the best filmed and edited in the series, as is the remarkable Tosca sequence which is so damn haunting with the powerful soundtrack matched perfectly to the visuals... love the crazed battle between Bond and Greene, as well as that fantastic cross-cutting of the helicopter pan across the lake with the moody Aston shots - in fact I love the whole damn car-chase!. WOW! Amazing stuff!
Having said all of that, as a devoted BLADE RUNNER fan, I would have no objections to a director's cut, as long as it's more substantial than Ridley Scott's rather poor effort...
