10 INSANE Moments Cut From Recent Movies

Sinners is debatably the best film of the year so far, and yet Ryan Coogler's outstanding vampire flick left an incredible scene on the cutting room floor involving Delroy Lindo's Delta Slim.

The sequence is a musical performance at the Smokestack Twins' (Michael B. Jordan) juke joint, where Delta Slim sings and plays the piano. 

Intriguingly, the four-and-a-half-minute scene unfolds over a single unbroken take, with a split diopter being used to keep Delta Slim in focus in close-up while also keeping numerous revellers in close-up in the background.

It's a brilliant, soulful scene that clearly involved a lot of prep and effort to pull off, but it's also easy to see why Coogler cut it. 

Great as it is, it also threatens to bring the film's pacing grinding to a halt, probably unaided by the scene being a single locked-off shot lasting almost five minutes.

But at least it's out in the world now for fans to savour, because it would've been criminal if this sublime sequence never found its way to audiences.
