anyway. i was discussing with my friend about a redit of Star wars Episodes 1,2 and 3 into one 4 hour movie epic. i was thinking Episode 1 could be used as flashback footage and use 2 and 3 as the main narrative of the film. just an idea but if anyone wants to discuss it further, please feel free



I could take this on. It would take a really long time to figure out what to put where, but it would be interesting. I barely know the movies, and I'm not really much into sci-fi (what am I doing here? ), but my friend seems to think that this is something that would be a fun challenge, and has actually dared me to do it. Whatever, lol, ur on. I'll watch them next weekend ( I get to borrow them, even tho I scratched another movie) and come up with a gameplan. These fan-edits are fun!

I'm going to make 2 edits of RENT this summer when i have time off fomr school. The second will be an extended cut, and the second will be the rock opera edit and i will put backround music in from the broadway show and stuff like that. And if the second edit goes good i'm goingto do so more drastic changes if i can figure out how to do them.

i'm currently working on a 2001 project (not quite ready to announce/discuss details yet) and would happily add the original score as an alternate audio track if you could supply a copy of it for me. PM me if you're interested

Also new to the boards...

Sounds like we'll finally have Superman II done and dusted by year's end, but howsabout Supes III and IV?

I'd love to see all the cut footage from Roger Rabbit put back in, and The Muppet Movie, in the version that someone mentioned above, IS a much better film and I can hardly watch the R1 DVDs as the longer one is the one I grew up with.


And to whoever it was looking for Payback (and I'm with ya there!) - I believe Brian Helgeland is working on a director's cut for DVD release this year.

how about a presevation of the original theatrical cut of Enter The Dragon. i think that most DVD's that are out are the extended version with the 3 mins of extra footage. the footage sucks because it was really badly dubbed over by an american guy.

Hey Ben! Do you have a decent copy of that longer version of The Muppet Movie?

My copy is CRAP.



I see someone replied to my idea of dubbing Gerard Butler in The Phantom of the Opera movie with Michael Crawford ... editing the film to the original cast soundtrack.

This strikes me as a damn good idea. I wouldn't do it myself, but SOMEONE ought.

If you search Youtube for Michael Crawford Phantom you can find a lot of video of Michael Crawford as The Phantom. Including some promo videos, at least one of which is really professionally shot, like a proper film. These would be nice to include on a release as well ... see Crawford as the Phantom!

I wonder if good copies of Crawford Phantom material can be gotten ..... should perhaps ask the people at, say, phantommovie.com, or phantomoftheopera.com.

Y'know .... at Youtube there's also some kind of poor quality but fairly well shot material of the rest of the show with Crawford and an alternate for Christine. So, it's all there, it exists.

Why doesn't someone track down the best quality copies of this and edit THAT into a film? With the proper videos Crawford shot for Music of the Night and Phantom of the Opera?


Cut it to the CD quality version of the soundtrack, and you've got something!

STAR TREK V. I remember seeing this in the theater, and the crowd reaction was much better than you might think. It wasn't a Trekkie audience either. Despite the various dorky moments and cruddy effects, the audience was basically with the movie UNTIL the very end. There's been a lot of complicated explaining of what was supposed to happen and why it didn't happen, but I think that might be over-thinking it. An 80s crowd expects a space battle and we didn't get it, and we were pissed. So how about an edit of Trek V with an Enterprise vs. Klingon battle intercut with shatner down on the planet. Enterprise blows up the klingons, and Kirk is beamed up in the nick of time. Maybe the battle could be mostly cobbled together from existing shots, (in itself a Trek tradition).The scene where the three main guys stand at the window and talk about Spock's brother could then be pared down to just the 3 of them, and altered to have them looking at the earth instead of the blue God planet, sequeing into the final campire. Just a theory on how to make the end more generally satisfying, and I know Trek fans have a whole laundry list of other beefs with the movie.

Not a fan-edit, persay, but I'd love to see a well-done preservation of Jim Henson's "The Cube"...I have the version floating around on divx and dvd-r, with the 80s cartoons after, but I'd love to see a clean-up restoration of the original teleplay. It won't happen any time soon, I know, but that's my dream fan edit!

It is up on myspleen now. Maybe some one will take it and clean it up.

I've toyed with the idea of a better version of Metropolis (the 1927 silent film).

- Take the superior PAL 25fps DVD that's progressive
- Re-interpolate it to 24fps, with select shots at 22-23 fps (speed issues)
- Delete some of the unecessary "subplot" intertitles that were added. While many allow continuity resolve, some are just too literal and wouldn't matter in this cut.
- Re-sync the orchestral score to fit this version
- The final product would go on a double-layer DVD-R

There's a better version around than the Kino restoration? That's surprising.

Is that "THE CUBE" B&W or color? I thought that it was a B&W movie but I've seen color stills that look like they're right out of the movie -- not production photos.

The Cube is in color. I have a good copy of it on DVD with Time Piece. To this day I still haven't watched it.

Here's an idea for Doctor Who fans ...

"The Ten Doctors" ...

or the Twelve or Thirteen or Fifteen or however many doctors, if you're a fan of the quasi incarnations played by Cushing, Atkinson, Grant, et al.

Just for fun, taking footage from various episodes to edit every single actor who's played Doctor Who into a single nonsensical episode. 1st Doctor Hartnell meets Rose, in black and white.

Just being silly.



EDIT: Thinking on this some more. I think the largest number of Doctors in a single scene the BBC ever pulled off was three, in The Five Doctors. And Hartnell on video in The Three Doctors sort of counts. A very clever fan could probably do better.


In a trailer for the Tennant series, Tennant morphs into Rose for a second. Some effect like that (it's a simple Photoshop trick) could be done to show the Doctor morphing into his past selves. A new linking plot could be filmed starring some amateur in a costume putting pieces on a chessboard or some crap like that. This is Doctor Who, so with no offense to the BBC, shooting links on a low budget wouldn't really stand out much.

The piece could be kept short ... even done as a trailer first. It would mainly be an experiment to see if you can make it appear that actors filmed in different decades, often on different stock, are acting together in the same scene. Video stock from Doctors 3 through 7 will look okay. Hartnell, and any Troughton not from the reunion eps would require the whole scene to be black and white, which could probably be faked. Eccleston, Piper and Tennant (and oh god, McGann) scenes would require different treatment as they look newer and filmier, but hey. The two might actually go well together, if you treat the hell out of the latter.

You might want to seek out other performances by the Doctor actors, in other films and TV shows, to get some less familiar line readings, for audio at least. For some reason Tom Baker in the recent remake of Randall & Hopkirk Deceased comes to mind, as he's playing a funny mentor.





Yeah, okay, just thinking about it for fun.

I've been thinking of this for a while, but I haven't started on it at all because it would be way too much work. I think I've even posted about it here somewhere before.

I want to take footage from all of (or as many is necessary) Arnold Schwarzenegger's action films (and maybe even non-action films) and combine them together in such a way that it's an entirely new movie with an entirely new plot. With all of the different stuff that he's done that all looks so similar, I'm fairly positive it's entirely possible.

He's aged a bit over the years, you'd have to pick the stuff from the middle part of his career mostly, avoiding T3 and very early Conan the Barbarian type stuff.

But yeah, that'd be possible enough.



Maybe not as fun as a big Doctor Who party, but fun.



Wouldn't be that hard to pull off in theory, but you'd have to make it entertaining and original, so as a filmmaker you'd just have to be really creative and funny and clever. Which is always an enjoyable problem to solve. =D

It would be more fun to recut Arnold movies into chick flicks. Romantic comedies, swooning epic romances.

Like that trailer for The Shining.



EDIT: Actually, to give your "best of Arnold" film a different feel if people watching it are really familiar with lesser Arnold films, you should create a new villain for it. Steal a villain from some other, non Arnold film. Villain scenes are usually separate from hero scenes anyway - they're off in their office or lair plotting and don't meet the hero til the end. It's the lackeys who Arnold has to shoot and blow up. I was gonna say, take a villain from some lame action movie starring a lesser hero, but hey, go for broke, make sure it's a good villain ... like, someone like Christopher Walken or Robert Loggia or Frank Langella or Ian MacShane or Dennis Hopper or Hopkins. Anthony Hopkins.

Sylvester Stallone would be hilarious for stunt casting (Get Carter remake era, Spy Kids 3 type) ... but probably for no other reason.

If you were a Hollywood director and could film new footage for this, my casting suggestion would be: Dolly Parton.



I'm gonna keep quietly suggesting the "Crawford redub" Phantom of the Opera and extended Muppet Movie as edits, since someone oughtta do 'em.

Redub Phantom would be a huge hit.

Somethinng Wicked This Way Comes.

The DVD from buena Wista, which I haven't ordeed is anamorphic widescreen, but apparently the Laser Disc version has a commentary track by ray Bradbury on one analog channel and an isolated score by James Horner on another analog Channel. I would love to see this incorporated into a special edition DVD as well as the documentary on the making of the movie which was broadcast in 1983.
There's good in the Original Trilogy, and it's worth fighting for.

I've got one - Red Dwarf, the Movie.

I'm watching Red Dwarf series 7 for the first time - I'd always avoided it after seeing one awful episode from it (Stoke Me a Clipper) ... it's clearly the worst series for a great show ...

But watching the DVD's extended versions of "Tikka to Ride" and "Ouroboros", which are presented without a laugh track ...

This might as well be Red Dwarf the movie. They're all filmlooked, and only rarely look like video during these episodes due to the single-camera style. There's a flashback and time travel aspect to both episodes that would lend itself well to a movie, and to including clips from previous series ... we flash back to the end of series 6, the beginning of series 1 (to annoyingly rewrite history and include the black hole of comedy herself, Chloe Annett, who sucks the humor out of the series ... but never mind, it'd be a good excuse to revisit series 1 or 8 in the movie) ... Lister's wedding to a Gelf back in ... series 5 I think ... is also referenced.

These being flashbacks, they wouldn't have to look like film, if you kept them brief. You'd have to be carefully choose non laugh track material though ... thankfully the DVDs contain lots of material without laugh tracks as deleted scenes, outtakes etc.

These two episodes do link together slightly, despite Rimmer not being in the latter. The ending to Ouroboros, which is a good one, uses the time travel device from Tikka to Ride.

I think that these episodes and others from Red Dwarf series 7 could be edited together into one coherent story. I think the pace should be picked up a bit, because it doesn't quite work without the laugh track.

Effects shots from previous series could be used in all their filmy glory, and if possible, I'd like to see Holly brought back somehow. You'd have to keep Rimmer in the story too somehow.

You'd also have to crop the 4x3 footage to 16x9, and sort of rework the order of things, introduce the plotlines of all the episodes you're using together at the beginning of the film.


But it would definitely work. It's halfway there already.


Just an idea.
