Renny Harlin says a 4.5 hour supercut of all three chapters is possible.

And for fans who want the four-and-a-half-hour director’s cut, there’s a very real chance it could happen once the trilogy finishes. Abboud confirms there is “some version of that we’ve discussed at a high level that we’d like to see at some point.”

Harlin adds, “It’s in our heads. This is definitely what we want to do. We want to cut together the full arc. We know exactly how to do it, then we’ll create a movie and see who are those diehard fans who will come to the movie theater for four and a half hours. I don’t know if we need to have an intermission so people can get some food and go to the bathroom, but I definitely want to have that event and see if people take four and a half hours of dread and fear and terror and despair.”
