You mentioned some of these projects early on, “Agincourt” and “Big Tuna.” Are you going to go back to any of these projects?
Oh yeah, we're still developing “Agincourt “and “Big Tuna” is very active, I have to decide when I'd like to make either. It's something that [“Up In The Air” co-writer] Sheldon Turner and I wrote and I own it so I can pick and choose my time.
You were going to do a project on Robert Capa at one point, is that still happening?
No, that one’s gone.
Over the last few years, prior to making this, there were talks about you doing Agincourt, Go Like Hell, The Big Stone Grid, Gold. I think there even other things you were linked to. What ever happened to those projects?
MANN: Agincourt is alive and well and been written. It’s a very, very difficult story to tell. You can’t just pop this gigantic piece of history up there with all the people that are going to be in it. It’s a very tricky thing to try to tell a story from the point of view of an archer, somebody who probably in real life didn’t really have much of an ideation of the first person pronoun, I. He was owed, he’s not even a villain. Everybody owns everything. He toils, procreates, produces dies. It’s his rise into self-identification and, “I want something and I’m gonna go get it.” Because he becomes experienced in the world. Partially through the innovation of Henry V, who is a genius. And then it’s also a story about Henry V, it’s a very difficult story to tell. That’s something I’d love to do.
Will we be getting the theatrical cut of Miami Vice on Blu-ray at any point? Or Ali on Blu-ray? Someone pointed out to me that it’s available in Japan.
MANN: The Blu-ray of Ali?
Yeah. Someone said it on Twitter to me. I could be wrong though.
MANN: I’m not sure either. I did a re-edit of Ali for television that I really liked and I’d like to put out a Blu-ray of that edit. That was a significant re-edit.
Is it a lot longer?
MANN: It happens to move better and it’s longer.
Do you remember what the running time is versus the original?
MANN: I don’t but it’s a little bit longer. It’s more complete and moves better. Much more dramatic
The movie is about 2 hours. How long was your first cut?
MANN: My first cut… 2:45.
When you do a first cut, is it like an assembly or it’s an actual first cut?
MANN: At this point, I know that’s gonna go, that’s gonna go. Let’s take them out now. So, it’s actually a first cut. It’s more selective than an assembly. I’ll see an assembly of a scene and start right away cutting down things that I know I’m not gonna want. But that first cut is about events, moments, if in doubt, leave them in. what’s tricky is that the storytelling rhythms sometimes are good when it’s long like that. Then you get to a denouement, the whole third act is really driven because the first act and second act were too long.
There’s a re-authoring, for me in editing. Editing is like writing. It’s like a re-authoring of the picture. You have to imagine you’re rewriting it again. And you’re determining the storytelling, what stories you’re going to tell and the rhythms of it, to a certain pace and a build. That’s, personally, the way I see it. There’s no such thing as mechanically trimming things down to see how the movie is. I have to be imagining the movie from the end to the front and how all the parts are working together, and understand how each component is affecting the other components. I made one major shift in the movie, it’s a huge shift. The nuclear explosion used to occur after the storm drain, way late in the movie.
That’s a huge change.
MANN: That’s huge. It’s like putting a hand in a socket, pulling it out the other side. I decided, “No, I have to have these events occur in the front.”
When you made that change, was it in the editing room?
MANN: Editing room. I had to reconstruct a lot of dialogue all along the way. Halfway in his interview he says, “The nuclear reactor I heard about,” but he didn’t hear about it. He hadn’t heard about the nuclear reactor because the nuclear reactor never happened that early. It was kind of tricky. It became much better.
