Synopsis:

7 minutes of deleted footage has been added back into the film to bring The Place Beyond the Pines to its maximum length whilst maintaining continuity.

Intentions:

Whilst making Legend Beyond the Pines last year I noticed there was some very high quality deleted footage on the Blu-ray. The deleted footage does not change the story, but it does provide some more depth to the characters, so I decided to go ahead and bring them in.

Change List:

Cut dialogue of Robin saying "but you may wanna take it, I don't know, whatever you wanna do" in the original after showing Luke the gun as it overlaps with Luke biting the apple. No footage was cut Added deleted scene of Luke and Robin arguing over money. Cut beginning of the deleted scene to avoid Robin lighting his cigarette twice Extended shot of Luke holding his son after hitting Kofi and leaving the house Added deleted scene of Luke being brought to jail. From the deleted scene, trimmed Luke being walked to his jail cell to avoid him passing a cell twice Extended shot of guard walking away after putting Luke in the cell Added extended scene of Luke in cell and dialogue of other inmates heckling Luke Extended shot of councillor approaching Luke in jail Extended dialogue of judge reading out Luke's rights Extended shot of AJ in the swimming pool Added deleted scene of Rowina and Jason talking to Jason's teacher Extended shot of Jason cycling to Robin's place Added extended scene of Jason talking to Robin's coworker before meeting Robin In addition, the majority of the deleted footage was regraded to better match the original film. Most of the deleted footage had the same framing as the original, so fades were used to hide the insertion of new footage wherever possible.

Additional Notes:

As much deleted footage was used as possible whilst maintaining continuity with the original.
