Obsession Director Confirms 20-Minute Extended Cut Exists
The disclosure raises the prospect of a longer home or streaming edition even though no distributor has announced a release plan.
Overview
- Curry Barker told Rolling Stone late Sunday that he has about 20 minutes of additional footage from Obsession that could be assembled into an extended cut.
- Barker also said he is satisfied with the 109-minute theatrical edit and considers that version his director’s cut.
- The extended cut would make the film roughly 129 minutes long if the reported extra footage is used.
- No studio, distributor, or release date for an extended edition has been confirmed in the coverage reporting Barker’s comments.
- Obsession’s surprise box-office success—reported production budget of $750,000 and roughly $525 million in global gross—has heightened fan interest and could affect how Focus Features and Prime Video approach any future editions or sequels.
