As much as I would have liked to have seen a longer, more complete version of the film, I don't think that the general public has the patience to sit through more than 3-4 hours of movie. If a movie doesn't appeal to the general public and only a handful of people go to see it, then the producers of that film will lose all of the money that they put in to make that movie and there aren't many people who are willing to make a film to just to create a beautiful piece of cinematic art - as jaded as this sounds, they're primarily in it for the money.
