Don’t expect to see a director’s cut of David Cronenberg’s latest film, Crimes of the Future.<\/p>\n

During an interview with IGN, the legendary filmmaker gave us a glimpse into his process, revealing that only two planned shots were cut, simply because they were repeating information the viewer already knew.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be no director’s cut because for me every cut is the director’s cut,\u201d he explained. “There is no other cut.”<\/p>\n

The 79-year-old filmmaker returned to body horror with Crimes of the Future – a sci-fi tale exploring body modification as performance art. But while some directors may have been forced to cut certain scenes that are too gory, Cronenberg didn’t hold back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t pay any attention to censorship or anything like that,\u201d he said. \u201cEach country has its own weird censorship. If you try to protect yourself against all of that, you are paralyzing yourself. So, I ignore all that. And I just decide what the movie wants. “<\/p>\n

In this case, Crimes of the Future depicts some extreme body modification as Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen) explored what it means to be human.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome movies, extreme violence is needed in the movie,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are other movies where there’s a violent action that takes place narratively, but doing it in an extreme, gory way would derail the movie, it would take people out of the movie because of the tone of the rest of the movie. So, each movie has its own demands and that’s all I was paying attention to completely with this movie. And that for me is the normal way. “<\/p>\n

Essentially, Cronenberg was able to make Crimes of the Future the way he wanted. Although there were<\/em> a couple of cut scenes, the reason they were edited out is tamer than you might expect.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were two scenes, not very long, that I cut,\u201d explained Cronenberg. “And the only reason was, it’s like your second draft. I never did a second draft. So, I shot everything that I had written and discovered that two scenes seemed to be repetitions of information in other scenes, and suddenly it seemed redundant, that’s it. So, not for any other reason, so I took those scenes out. “<\/p>\n

Essentially, that means there’s very little material to make an extended cut with, and the only version we’ll be seeing is the one that’s heading to theaters: “I wouldn’t want to put those [shots] back in because … I was right to take them out. “<\/p>\n
