Hello all. Today, like some of you, i purcahsed the King Kong Extended Edition. Loving this new material (the extended and new scenes, and the deleted scenes that weren’t incorporated into the film) i’d like to re-edit the film again, sort of a second version of my previous edit. It will keep the same ideas, but the edit will be very different. I will not just be adding new scenes to it, certain parts of the edit i want to completely redo. The Venture voyage will especially get some work, and a couple of the new action scenes will go into the island section.

My thoughts thus far:
-though i still dislike the jimmy/hayes story, there is a little more closure to it now thanks to some deleted scenes. I may incorporate some of them. Though I don’t want to focus on it too much, that storyline is unavoidable.
-I may try to get the crew onto the ship even faster. Though I like the New York stuff, the real meat of the film begins with the Venture.
-Englehorn, Hayes, Choy, and Jimmy all have some really great deleted scenes i’d like to incorporate. It adds to their characters and makes you care for them more.
-The stampede might go. Or at least be shortened. This would be to incorporate the swamp sequence and the triceratops scene.
-I’d like to replace Ann’s awkward meeting with Jack with the deleted scenes, where she overhears him talking down on Vaudeville actors. This also tells you she did Vaudeville, making the New York scenes unimportant.

I have some other ideas too that i need to play with a bit more. I’ll gladly take suggestions, too. If you haven’t picked up the Kong Extended Edition you should. It’s a big improvement over the theatrical cut, though it’s still not perfect.

Hey folks. I was thinking of doing an edit of Mission Impossible II. I’m not the biggest fan of the film, though i think a lot of it is good, i think its filled with bad lines, crappy music and subpar editing. I would try to remedy as much of this as possible and bring the film up to the level of 1 and 3.

I’d love some ideas on what might help. Here’s my preliminary ideas.

• take out the useless opening scene with the doctor explaining Bolerafont and Chimera. This gets explained to us twice later in the film. Unnecessary and poorly executed.
• some of that silly car chase with Niah.
• get rid of some of the ridiculous slow motion. This is Mission Impossible, not Walker Texas Ranger.
• replace some of the crappy electric guitar score, replace it with some of Michael Giaccino’s fantastic MI:III score.
• remove all the horrible “i’m doing this, and this is why!” explanation scenes. We can understand whats happening when we see it. I don’t need to be told what I’m seeing as well.

This film might not get a huge reworking, as I don’t know how much can be fixed/changed. Any other ideas anyone has I’d love to hear.

Also, I know there was a re-release of the film with a 2nd disc. Anyone know if this set included any deleted scenes?

Hey everybody. If you haven’t seen the Film noir edit thread, please do so. There’s a great project happening in there. That project involves re-editing the entire movie, changing the story, it’s a true re-imagining. the most interesting aspect is the hard-boiled voice over that Anakin will have. A suggestion was made that some stuff from the novelization be used as some of the narration. This led me to read the book again, and i love loads of stuff that was in there.

I would like to do a very minor re-edit of ROTS, nothing like the Film Noir edit, which I still want to help with, but I would like to add narration for Anakin to the film as it is. I think this could bring out a lot of good stuff that the actors (and the director) couldn’t convey.

Here’s the plan:

*Use ADM ROTS edit as a basis (I consider this the best version available.)
*Change very minor things that annoy me (a little bit of the editing in the Sidious/Windu fight, some bad dialogue, etc.) Nothing big, or anything that would change the storyline at all.
*A New narration would be written using the novelization as its basis. Things would be rephrased into the first person, as if they were Anakin’s thoughts. This will only be where i think it’s needed and/or applicable. This will require a voice over actor, somebody taht does a good Anakin voice, or somebody that can just deliver it well.

Let me know what you guys think, and again, if you havent checked out the star wars film noir thread, please do. It’s gonna blow you all away.
