I’ve just come up with another change. In the edit I’ve made so far, I didn’t know what to do about John and Daisy’s entrance into Minnie’s haberdashery. There are two versions of the scene. The first is the one where we don’t know who the bad guys are, and then there’s the extended scene where the bad guys give Daisy the signal over what’s going on.

Originally, both scenes were in my edit. We would start off with the extended scene at the end of The Four Passengers, just like the theatrical release, and then, when Minnie’s Haberdashery begins, we would show the same scene without the inner workings going on. I thought both scenes would provide information the viewer might need to know. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt that having both was more repetitive, as we’re mostly just going through the same scene twice, just from different points of view.

So here’s what I’ve decided to change. I decided to get rid of the original first scene entirely, and I replaced it with the extended scene at the beginning of Minnie’s Haberdashery. Meanwhile, The Four Passengers ends with John Ruth kicking the door open, much like the theatrical version.

I will be updating my changes list shortly.
