The term cutting room floor is used in the film industry as a figure of speech referring to unused footage not included in the finished film. Outside of the film industry, it may refer to any creative work unused in the final product.
In fact offcuts of film are retained in a special cutting room bin and numbered during the editing process in case they are required later. The phrase 'bin ends' is an alternative term.
Although the omission of filmed material happens to some extent for every actor ever filmed, many famous actors' entire appearance in a particular project have ended up on the 'cutting room floor' at one stage or another throughout their careers, including Charlie Chaplin (when he accidentally walked onto the set of a "Keystone Cops" upon first arriving to Hollywood), Eric Stoltz's entire performance as Marty McFly in Back to the Future (when director Robert Zemeckis decided to recast Michael J. Fox halfway through filming because Stoltz's performance was not light-hearted enough), and Johnny Depp's performance in Platoon (Oliver Stone felt Depp's storyline distracted from the core of the story). Other examples are Kevin Costner (as the friend whose funeral is attended in The Big Chill), John Lithgow (as super-agent Harry Zell in L.A. Story), and Phyllis Diller (as a cranky neighbor in Juno).
Cutting Room Floor is a compilation album by Britishprogressive rock band Kino, consisting of live recordings, demos and a previously unreleased cover song. It was released to coincide with their tour of Europe in December 2005.
The Cutting Room is a music venue in New York City that was open from late 1999 through January 2009 for music of all varieties and reopened at the beginning of 2013 in a new location at 44 East 32nd Street. It was co-owned since its founding by actor Chris Noth and Berklee College of Music alumnus Steve Walter.
If hell broke out in the White House How long would it take for word to carry here? Would it stay hush hush till the weather changed Till the sun warmed the snow and fears? Well I would wanna know. I would wanna know And it's strange to me that you could barely care You say, like this stolen ground no one's golden now We're all made of bronze and steel Well why don't you leave, just leave You make a horrible point with your eyes looking low So leave, just leave You're on the cutting board The cutting board of the cutting room floor You're gonna wake to a whole different scene All your pretty lights and neon signs Replaced with green And as you curse the river bed That you throw your compass in There's comfort 'round the bend But this house is filled with crooks and liars We regret to inform you there's no love here for you (I know you're coming with the worst intentions. Bring the flood) So take your hooks and pliers We regret to inform you, you're the lowest form So leave, just leave You make a horrible point with your eyes looking low So leave, just leave. You're on the cutting board The cutting board of the cutting room floor You've got this crazy notion You've ripped this out by the seems You can't even fathom How with every word you try to say You dig yourself a hole you can't escape And that's a little bit more than what you came here for Isn't it funny how little respect you get When you burn the world for a paycheck? Leave, just leave You make a horrible point with your eyes looking low So leave, just leave You're on the cutting board
