Sorry to bump this thread but the editor hasn’t been on here in a while and isn’t replying to PMs. Is there anybody out there who can assist with viewing this edit please? If so, please PM me. Thanks.
My thoughts on movie 9 -
While there were some editing choices, mainly the inclusion/exclusion and reordering of certain scenes/shots which I felt could have been better, this was as good as it could be from a narrative point of view.
It is an unenviable task to finish this series off in a satisfactory way by tying up all loose ends but felt you have done an admirable job with the source material.
I can’t recall but did you ever address the death of Daenerys’ other Dragon which was killed by Euron Greyjoy?
Whatever movie 10 will look like, can you please try and brighten the image where possible as the army of the dead battle was a mess to watch because of how low the contrast was.
As some have said about TOD, would you consider releasing your edit of Raiders with just the fixes and no added scenes etc?
How are the remaining films coming along? Christmas release for the last two or is that somewhat optimistic?
Wow! I’m here for this. Great work.
Any chance you could with the editor on - https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Indiana-Jones-and-Last-Crusade-Revisit-2D-and-3D/id/106079
To make the perfect version?
nope, I don’t belive in post-3D conversion.
He is working on a 2D version too!

All sounds awesome to me 😃
No problem!
Thank you for being receptive to making those additional changes. They do make your edit more polished, as you said.
Could I please point out just one more in the hope you can address that also?
There is an abrupt edit which could be a little smoother I think. It’s when Indy is about to look up at the skins up high.
If you were to cut at 1:02:46 and resume at 1:02:57 (time stamps of your most recent edit), the scene may flow better and have better music transition with no information/story loss.
Would you consider taking a look when you can?
Hi there
Hope you don’t mind some constructive feedback on your edit.
Firstly, I really enjoyed it. While most fixes and cuts are well done, there are a few that I think could be tweaked, if you agree.
Before Mola Ram hides through a trap door - there was no replacement head insert shot as you mentioned in your edit notes above, just a quick cut which is obvious as you can hear Indy saying the end of “Ram”. The continuity error was less noticeable with the original shot intact I think.
Indy is whipped a few times - I don’t think the reused insert shot of Short Round works. Maybe a better edit would be to cut straight from Indy saying “leave him alone you bastards” to the shot of Mola Ram entering with the head.
In the wide shot of the mountain the characters are CG and have no shadow shot - Indy’s newly added CGI version remains clearly visible through the gushing water and again, is more distracting than the original shot, although the CGI models do look better.
On the ladder, Mola would normally try to grab Indy’s heart - you can clearly see Short Round’s mouth moving when you muted “cover your heart”. Again, more distracting of an error than cutting that shot of him completely which would work much better imo.
Please let me know your thoughts on these points.
Thanks and congrats on releasing your edit.
Unbelievable work.
You would think these kind or errors would have been addressed when they went to the effort of correcting some bad effects for the 4K. Even then, their work was nowhere near as good as your efforts as far as I can see.
Do you plan on tackling Raiders or Crusade for future revisions/fixes also?
So, the TV version of the new 4K IS in the original 1.33:1 ratio!!!
Version 3 with the original audio restored possibly?
Hi there.
With the news of the 4K coming out soon, do you plan on revising your hybrid edit using that as the main source?
Actually, that will probably be in widescreen won’t it! Darn.
At least it does have the TV edit included with it which will be good to compare your version to. Looks like it doesn’t include the original mono track though, so again, bummer!
Bring on the dark!
Can’t wait.
Great news! Congrats 👏🏻 Will we have to wait as long for parts 9 & 10? 😬🤞🏻
Is there any update on this project? We are well into 2023 with nothing…😦
Do you know if you will release any films beyond VII yet or are you still waiting for the ‘Snow’ series to be released?
I echo the previous posters comments.
Is there any updates on the remaining films progress yet?
Thanks
Agreed.
I think ending the movie on the Bat signal alone is a stronger choice. After all, Catwoman does not answer the call of the Bat signal anyway, this is the last time she is seen in the series as a whole and leaving her fate more ambiguous is more fitting for her character. This is as she is a bit of a mystery, especially how she actually gets her “power” of nine lives etc.
Just my two cents!
For what it’s worth…My vote would be to remove Catwoman from the final shot for the reasons mentioned above but also, to differentiate this edit from the original version. If you want that ending, watch that version.
Good to hear the last few movie edits are coming along well.
Regarding SNOW - Is there a possibility you could go ahead with the darker ending for movie 10 (for us nihilist’s) and then once SNOW is released (a good year from now I’d say) produce an alternative cut of movie 10 so that show can follow on from it.
I think this would please on all fronts, however, I am fully aware of the work these edits take you. Just thought I’d mention my own preference early on and see what reaction you get from others about it.
Keep up the great work Anjohan.
Oh, that sounds good.
Will be interested to see your take on it then and yes, if inclined, an alternate cut down the line.
Keep up the amazing work.
Sounds amazing.
Big fan of what you have released so far.
Could I make a small suggestion to one of your upcoming edits? During the scene of Daenerys burning down King’s Landing, I always thought the best reason for her to do this was that the bells DIDN’T ring.
I have seen one edit which took this approach but they left in shots of the bells ringing while removing the audio of them from the soundtrack. It would be a relatively easy edit to make and I think, would be more impactful and ultimately, justify her actions somewhat.
What are your thoughts?
You mention that you are “planning” to rescore Snyder’s films using past Superman and Batman themes. Is there any possibility you won’t do this? I love both their classic themes but they just do not fit Snyder’s molds for these characters in his films.
I don’t think it would be a popular choice as you stated.
However, each to their own as this is YOUR own personal edit. Just wanted to say I would be interested if this change wasn’t made that’s all.
I’m planning on making edits of Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman 1984, Aquaman, Man of Steel, Batman V Superman and Justice League.
For the Superman’s ones, do you plan to make them less dark and more colorful maybe?
More colorful. I will say upfront that my plans and intentions for Zack Snyder’s films are going to be extremely unpopular with many people. I’m planning on re-scoring and restoring John Williams’ Superman theme and Danny Elfman’s Batman theme.
I’ve already done edits of Superman, Superman II and Superman Returns already, if you’d like to check them out.
Krausfadr, are you able to post an update once you have made the above revisions please?
