We're not giving it up to chance like that. This is only one of about 10 boards its posted at by the way.
We have some people who will pass it along to the right hands at Sony if all goes well. We just have to reach the appropriate numbers first.

Yeah Superman Returns had lots of footage cut before hitting theatres but never received a director's cut or extended cut. Apparently they believed the film was already too long and decided to trim it down. It's a shame too because the scene of Superman visiting the remains of Krypton looked amazing. The director's cut of Daredevil was definitely better than the released version. A lot of footage was taken out from SM3 that would have really added more depth, understanding, and expansion on the motives of the various characters. Plenty of action sequences were reduced or cut as well.
Here a few images of deleted footage:
June 13, 2006, New York City Spider-Man saves a baby during a scene on the Spider-Man 3 set.

- The scene of Venom aligning himself with the Sandman is very different. Sandman takes the form of a rather large sandcastle in a park, just as his ex-wife and daughter come by. Penny plays with the sandcastle briefly. When Penny and her mother aren’t looking for a moment, the sandcastle disappears. Venom talks to Sandman from the shadows, beneath a tree. He brings up Sandman’s family as conversation, not as a threat, but as a way to illustrate how bitter he is at what he feels Parker’s taken from him.

Sony and Raimi don't need this petition. They will be announcing later this year when the Spiderman 3 directors cut is coming out.

How'd you get this?

SPIDER-MAN 3 DIRECTOR'S CUT PETITION HERE
Most it comes from various places such as books, trailers, set photos, interviews, clips, etc.
- Extended Eddie Brock arrival at the church.
- There’s a scene where Sandman sneaks into the home of a scientist he had been writing to from prison. The scientist has been doing research on whatever disease Penny Marko has and Flint’s been trying to raise enough money for him to cure it. The guy tries to make it clear how money alone won’t promise a cure, but Sandman intimidates him into shutting up.
Re: Spider-Man 3 Director's Cut Petition

Since it's become obvious that an ample amount of scenes were deleted or reduced from the released version of SM3 including subplots, we've opened up a new petition for a director's cut which I think everyone here should sign and spread word of if possible.Given some of the negative responses (personally I love it) the studio may want to do some spin coverage plus there seems to be more footage missing this time around than in the past. Peter Jackson has done it, lets hope Sam does as well. The folks behind the petition for a Donner cut of Superman II were successful in their efforts and considering there is larger fan base with Spider-Man, we just may have a chance as well.
I'll admit the success rate for fan petitions are few in number and far in between but look at it this way, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain. We can always be a positive factor in the decision process.

Petition or not, Of course there will be a directors cut of spiderman3. there is director cuts, special limited editions, incredibly ultra exclusive content editions, The GOD edtions and the if you dont buy this edition your a loser edition edition. You dont need a petition for studios to market any and every type of edition they can. Ten years from now we will have the 15th anniversary spiderman edition with 30 seconds more footage
Hey, you've got my support on this (#1321). Just make sure you check out my petition too (http://www.petitiononline.com/mrvl2099).
