The classic tale of the heroic outlaw Robin Hood was revisited by Kevin Reynolds in 1991 with Kevin Costner in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. It was only second to Terminator 2: Judgment Day as the highest grossing film that year. Mostly due to the excellent song Everything I Do, I Do It for You with Bryan Adams.
Den of Geek: “Going back to Robin Hood, we got the extended cut on DVD a couple of years ago, which was received exceptionally well. I’m wondering if you feel in any way – I’m not sure if ‘vindicated’ is the right word, or just ‘pleased’ – that you got a different version of it out there?”
Kevin Reynolds: “Well, yes and no – what you really wish is that the original version had been that, the original release had been your version. But yeah, to some extent I am happy that people saw more of what I intended.”

Alien 3 was the big-budget debut of David Fincher and the production was plagued with problems due to rushed start date. Fincher clashed with the studio executives and left the production during the editing process. Fincher has since then disowned the film.
When 20th Century Fox released the Alien Quadrilogy on DVD in 2003 a new cut of the film, called “Assembly Cut”, was included and it resembled Finchers original vision of the film.
“No one hated it more than me; to this day, no one hates it more than me,” said Fincher in a interview with The Guardian. ” I had to work on it for two years, got fired off it three times and I had to fight for every single thing.”
