The director's cut 3 hour version or whatever needs to be released. If the author of The Black Dahlia, James Ellroy, loved the 3 hour film adaptation praises it, and is so moved by it, that he writes an essay, that's the version that should be released.
Also, James Ellroy has very high standards, so if he loved the 3 hour version so much, it must be an amazing version, and that's the version I want to see.
It should have been as amazing as L.A. Confidential, another film adapted from James Ellroy's book. The film version of L.A. Confidential was highly praised, very good, was nominated for several Academy Awards/Oscars, was nominated for Best Picture, but lost, but won other Oscars.
That's the kind of quality I believe exists in the 3 hour version of The Black Dahlia.
Also,I want to sidetrack for a moment. Another reason for me wanting to see the 3 hour version is because I am a huge James Ellroy fan. My first novel I read by him was called White Jazz, and after that I became a huge fan of James Ellroy, kept reading his other works, and have gotten and read all his books to date. More importantly, though, because I loved White Jazz so much, I developed a love for reading, which I never had before. I love reading now, I'm proud of it, I thank James Ellroy for that, and if it wasn't for James Ellroy, I wouldn't have that trait or love.
So it is beneficial to everyone, meaning more money since people will see the good 3 hour version over the theatrical cut if it is good, which I believe the 3 hour version is very good.
Lastly, to anyone who reads this and is part of this petition, tell:
family, friends, fans of The Black Dahlia theatrical cut the people who liked it, people who were disappointed and/or didn't like disliked the theatrical cut, fans of the novel The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy, fans of James Ellroy in general, fans of other of James Ellroy's film adaptations, fans of Brian DePalma that either
