Deleted scenes added. With the new scenes, the running time shot up from 109 minutes to 115 minutes, so I went and shortened the movie down to 108 minutes.
I’m still in the cutting stage, and I have no intentions of saying “the cutting stage is over.” Especially since I want to see what I can do about the dialogue to make it less cringe-inducing. However, it’s looking like we’re gonna end up with a 105-110 minute edit. I want to see if I can shorten it down some more (especially since I and II were shortened down by a lot), but I’m already finding that hard, because I’m seeing things that need to be shortened down some more, but other areas that I may have trimmed too much, resulting in a sort of yin-and-yang situation.
I’ll give the edit a watch and see what areas can be fixed.
