I was just thinking about something. Now that the books get longer
and longer, it will be even more difficult to make these movies
without leaving out crucial story aspects. Wouldn't it be an idea to
make extended versions of the movies when they come out on DVD? Like
Peter Jackson did and does with Lord of the Rings? Put inn deleted
scenes and stuff. I would buy it.
OotF, at least my version, is on about 804 pages. My LOTR version is
on 1064. It is not that big a difference, and with LOTR they split it
into three movies and still they needed the extended versions.
So what do you guys think?

I agree, that would be great and I certainly would buy it as well! However,
I think it's also a cost factor. I recall in one interview when Dan said it
took 2 weeks for him to get one scene down (in POA). Especially if it's a
very FX or CGI-laden scene, the director may opt to abbreviate the action.
My hope is that they just shoot a bunch of footage, then trim it down to
say, 3 hours, then release the deleted scenes on DVD.
