It would have been hard, having to inherit reviews from two years ago, which are very painful because they don’t reflect what the film is and who I am. Luckily, we have a new title. The Director’s cut is part of our title, and that allowed us to start fresh with a new page on Rotten Tomatoes. Now, whatever comes my way I’m ready for, because it will reflect my cut.
They were able to make a case with Rotten Tomatoes that it’s such a significantly different film that it deserves its shot. And by changing the title to The Current War: Director’s Cut, we are able to start fresh.
