The Hollywood Report has the following about this longer cut:
The BFI said it plans to release the U.S. version of the film – never before released in the U.K. – for Halloween this year.
It will be pushed into around 120 screens up and down the U.K. on Hallowe'en with extended runs planned at "at least 20 sites" a spokeswoman said.
The U.S. version is 144 minutes long, some 24 minutes longer than the European version previously released here in 1980.
