Haha ooooooold topic. Sorry for the slow reply. It turns out I had an account over there already which I didn't know about. Anyways, you are trying to turn the first season into a movie, yeah? Essentially more or less following M. Night's version? The problem on my end is I have never seen that movie, nor will I ever (pact to myself), so I would be of little help in that respect.

My concern is that part of what made TLA so awesome was its TV show format. Off the top of my head, I am unsure how to effectively translate that into more of a feature length film type of format. For what I did, I only used a defined four episodes, so that put me perfectly in the hour and a half range. From my work, I found that each episode untouched is normally 24 minutes long, and then you subtract two for the intro and credits, for an actual 22 minutes running length per episode. I just glanced at the first season episode list again; I would say that without trouble you could cut eight episodes straight up, leaving you with 12 episodes worth of material, or 12*22=264 minutes. For a 2.5 hour movie (150 minutes), you'd be looking at only cutting ~40 percent of the content, which might be more doable.

Again, this is with no content of M. Night's work at all, so that might skew some things. That is just how I would approach it, if I were forced into trying to make a movie format work. Let me know how it goes!
