Director Antoine Fuqua has expressed his desire to release director's cuts for two of his movies. In an interview with IndieWire, Fuqua revealed that he would like to release a longer cut of his 2016 Western action movie The Magnificent Seven, which featured an ensemble cast including Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt. Fuqua mentioned that actor Ethan Hawke had seen the original cut and praised it as better.

Additionally, Fuqua expressed his interest in a director's cut for his 2003 action thriller Tears of the Sun, starring Bruce Willis and Monica Bellucci. He noted that the original version had more depth and focused on the people and events, rather than being movie star-driven. However, he acknowledged Willis' star power and understood the decision to shift the focus.

While Fuqua expressed his desire to release these director's cuts, he also acknowledged the challenges associated with it, such as obtaining the necessary funding. It remains to be seen whether these director's cuts will be realized, but fans of Fuqua's work and these films may have something to look forward to in the future.
