W. Earl Brown reviews the Deadwood movie, reveals there's 30 minutes of unused footage

Deadwood’s Dan Dority, the long-haired giant who serves as Al Swearengen’s muscle, is one of the show’s most fascinating characters. Played with a mix of barely contained violence and restrained emotion by W. Earl Brown, Dan stars in some of the most impactful scenes from the original series. Despite his importance to the show, the excellent Deadwood movie, which was faced with the daunting task of concluding the story in a single film, didn’t have a lot of space to give every one of its characters—Dan included—as much screen time as we might’ve liked.
Now that it’s been a few days since it aired, Brown put down some thoughts on Twitter regarding what was cut from the movie, including his own scenes, and how he felt about the decisions that went into making what he describes as “an extraordinary film, worthy of the mass of praise heaped upon it.”
Right up front he explains that the movie was originally two hours and 20 minutes long, meaning that 30 minutes were shaved off for the final release.
