A project that was actually the very second one I ever considered back when I was only just starting to get into editing work back at the start of 2022 – second only to ‘The Book of Boba Fett’ with splitting the past and present properly and removing Grogu from the finale.
Now I’ve finally got to it and was able to actually bash it out in a single day this week, it’s number 52 on my total projects’ list, so that worked out very appropriately in the end actually.

This project specifically is just splitting the large Director’s Cut into the 7 chapters it came in – with the same ‘Warner Bros.’ logo at the start and the same credits at the end of each of them. Just for the sake of consistency and to make sure they’re compartmentalised into proper chapters as neatly as possible.
There are no story changes made in this regard, it’s just the story being broken up into more digestible pieces. That said, a Heard-less version of the film would be great, same with Aquaman (2019) if even possible, with a different face faked on and voice dubbed over – probably never going to happen, but a person can dream.

I have considered a plan of Zack Snyder’s Watchmen too, and have made moves on turning that into a series also, but I’ve ran into a few hurdles I’m not sure how to meander over.
Which version of the 2009 film to do, including ‘Tales of The Black Freighter’ or not, when it’s split into 12 chapters do I move things back/forward to more closely resemble things on the page – or leave them alone so the film flows better as a FILM etc….

Footnote: I am merely a self-taught editor and VFX artist, so some areas are visibly mostly good as I have to be realistic with the footage in front of me and what I can do with it. If you do have any particular notes and feedback, feel free to give me your thoughts, but please be constructive and don’t be an ass about it.
