Idea & Ideas Wanted: for a 'The Black Hole Revised' edit...

 (Edited)

How many the old 1979 Disney film “The Black Hole”? If you don’t know, it’s basically Disney’s answer to Star Wars. Now, I must say that the effects are pretty good for the time, not as good as Star Wars, but still good. Watching the film again a few times recently, I realized that a few mistakes were in the film: A crew member can be seen, objects change places in the same scene, all the usual stuff. So I’ve decided to go in and fix those mistakes as well as improve the effects. Here’s a short list of some of the changes:

  1. The robots will sound more like robots.
  2. Ship engines will be fixed to look better.
  3. When V.I.N.CENT and Maximilian fight, more sparks and wires will shoot out of Max.
  4. End Credits: All who worked on the film will be mentioned, all those who were uncredited will be given credit.
  5. End Credits: Credits will be inserted for all who help out in this project.
  6. Erasing all the cables that support the flying robots.
  7. The star fields will be enhanced.
  8. Taking out the whites of the robot’s eyes. (suggested by Bingowings)
  9. Toning down the colors of the robots to make them less like cartoons. (suggested by Bingowings)
  10. [more to come]

If anybody has any other ideas, feel free to tell me. All help will be welcomed.

See I love this movie, and I love it the way it is, so for me this is a terrible idea, maybe some might like this approach, but definitely not me, but I really, really hope someday this gets a blu-ray release and it is exactly how it is right now on DVD, don't touch a thing.

 Well, if that's what you and everybody else wants, then I can cancell it. To tell you the truth, after I posted it, I thought "what if people won't like this idea?" But whatever, if that is your request, I'll honor it.

Here's a very brief spoiler free summary: "It's a space station." Wasn't that a good summary?

It's 2001 with lots of Biblical allusions and cheaper effects. The ending though it more fucked up than Sunshine or 2001.

Taking out the whites of their eyes and toning down the colours make them less like cartoons.

Very good ideas. I've add them to the list. But that I think about it, maybe I'll change the white eye parts to green, red, purple, etc. Maybe make the color a little bit bigger.

I'm a huge fan of this film actually. My initial thought is that I'm not really that into the idea, since I've loved it all these years as it is, flaws and all. But it's late and I'm on my way to bed so I'll think on it and post some comments later. Being a favorite of mine, even with all it's flaws, perhaps some ideas will pop in my head. I admit there are certainly flaws in the film.

I've thought about a fan-edit too. The only flaw that really stands out to me is when the crew are in space without space suits. Every other space movie had space suits, no matter how low budget.

Despite it's flaws there are many good things. It had some beautiful Special Effects, great soundtrack, and some good acting.

I thought of a possible way to fix the parts where they are exposed to space. If you ever saw the animated Star Trek or Space Academy they had life support devices. What if Vincent's screen showed LIFE SUPPORT ACTIVATED and the crew could maybe have a life support force filed around them or an Aura outline.

Maybe even inserting a closeup of a device on a wrist band. Stand-In Arm, jacket, and electronic wrist band.

Just an idea...

In Doctor Who the TARDIS extends a air bubble and force field around the door so it can be opened in space.

Maybe the robots can manipulate the a force field around the exterior off the Cygnus or the probe so that they can enter it without suits.

When I was a child I just assumed there was one because the only way into the probe seems to be from the outside.
