"A lot of publications have been asking my opinion on the new restoration so I might as well weigh in. I think Peter did a great job with the project and he had my moral and financial support throughout. However, I cannot help but question the notable absence of the "Kenosha Kid" scene from the final release, as it was my favourite scene from my Welles cut. For those who haven't seen Welles' original cut (which I assume is mostly everybody), the Kenosha Kid scene consists entirely of Orson Welles interviewing American novelist Thomas Pynchon on his writing process and use of metaphysical and religious symbolism in his 1973 masterpiece Gravity's Rainbow. This scene was guest directed by Stanley Kubrick. I think that Peter omitted this scene because it broke from the already fractured narrative film, but I find it incredibly valuable as it is the only time Pynchon has ever been filmed and Pynchon confirms in it that Orson Welles is the "Kenosha Kid" from the unofficially dubbed eponymous grammatical exploration from Gravity's Rainbow. That being said, perhaps it is best that Pynchon's visage remains hidden from the public in accordance with his wishes. I, however, will continue to screen this regularly in the seclusion of my Malibu home."

I don't know what this is from but I'd appreciate if you'd just tell me, and drop the suspense, Pynch.

There is absolutely no way this is real.

whoever wrote that is a liar. This doesn't exist. if it did it would be the biggest deal in the lit and film worlds in years. Pynchon on film and a never before released scene shot by Kubrick?

Who would know about it? It was Welles personally edited print. Kubrick, Pynchon, and Welles would be the only one to film and the only people who have watched it would be whoever owned the print.
