David Ayer says that there are going to be plenty of deleted scenes to enjoy when Sabotage comes to DVD.

Ayer is back in the director's chair with the new crime/drama, as he teams up with Arnold Schwarzenegger for the first time.

The director reveals that the first cut was over three hours, and he had to make some significant cuts to the film.

Speaking to Collider, the actor said: "The first assembly was over three hours. There’s going to be plenty of deleted scenes out there. And it’s painful.

"You have these great scenes, and they play well and everything works, but a movie is always its own animal. It emerges organically.

"As a writer, you have to be willing to kill your darlings, and I’m a writer first. As a director, I’ve got no problem cutting the scenes."

Ayer has turned up with Skip Woods to pen the action packed screenplay, as well as being in the director's chair.

Sabotage if the fourth feature film from Ayer, and the first since the fantastic End of Watch back in 2012.

Sabotage is the first of two Ayer directed movies this year, as Fury is also set to hit the big screen in the autumn.

Sabotage is released 7th May.
