This is a fan edit in the making of Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil 2019. I’ve done two things with it. The first is to incorporate the two extended scenes. Strangely enough, Creed has a “deleted scene”, but it’s really an extended scene. This film has an “extended scene”, but it’s really a deleted scene. Go figure…

Oh well, as it was, I put both the extended scene and the deleted scene back into the film. I also made a slight re-edit. Theatrically, the Queen calls for the wedding and walks out of the room. It immediately goes into a kingdom announcement of the wedding. That wouldn’t be so bad in and of itself, except that they interjected a small piece of the original room scene where Aurora accepts the wedding for the benefit of the king. This verbiage takes place IMMEDIATELY after the doors are shut when the queen exits and is walking away from the door. Not really enough time to garner up a message, give it to the announcer, etc… I felt that the original edit of that was very disjointed as a result and believe that it flows much better.

In both of the inserted scenes, the absolute primary focus is on Aurora, thus making her the shining light of the scenes. Because of this, and the fact that I love word play when naming things like this, it lends itself to the naming of this edition.

Run Times:

Theatrical Version: 1:58:50
Aurora Borealis Edition: 2:00:59

If you’d like a copy, by all means let me know. I’d appreciate feedback as the audio transitions were slightly more adventurous than with Creed/Creed II which I just did (because in this film, there usually is a bleeding of the sound from one scene to the next and I didn’t just want to cut it off jarring the viewing experience to insert the scene…something I’ve seen far too often when watching fan edits that included deleted scenes).

As always, I want to thank everyone who put forth any effort to make a fan edit.

I had found extended editions of these previously, I felt that they were underwhelming in many regards, so I made these. I’m just beginning at this, but feel that I improved upon the previous editions in many ways, including resolution and scene transition. Both are sourced from Blu Ray.

Creed: Feed the Need Edition

This is Creed 2015 with the deleted scenes put back into the film at 1080p (i.e. EXTENDED EDITION). One Note: one of the “deleted scenes” (When Adonis finds his first apartment in Philadelphia) is actually just a vastly expanded scene than what’s in the movie. However, in the movie, the shortened scene has a loud soundtrack on it. I didn’t have my hands on the complete soundtrack to possibly have it done properly, but I feel that within the restrictions of not having the OST, I made a rather decent smooth transition so as not to be all to jarring to the viewer. I’m not a professional, so if you view it, let me know what you think.

If you’ve seen the film already, then you know full well that the concept of FEED THE NEED is prevalent throughout the film on many levels for many things (the use of the name Creed vs Johnson, becoming a boxer, getting Rocky’s approval, falling in love, emotional support, etc…) , and with about 18 minutes of additional material, the play on words between the concepts of the film with those that want an extended edition would be a nice juxtaposition.

RUN TIMES:

Theatrical Edition: 2:13:02
Feed the Need Edition: 2:31:08

Creed II: Punch in the Gut Edition

This is Creed II with the deleted scenes put back in. There is one minor transition that I want to be better, but I think there is a bug within Premiere. It is a little jarring when starting the scene where Rocky is doing exercises at the gym with kids. Even though I had correctly gotten two distinct video pieces that I wanted to transition, when I applied the effect I wanted to transition them with, Premiere inserted a few extra frames off both pieces of video that had previously been removed… for reason that I can’t understand. Because of this, I left the scenes in their natural state and it’s not as smooth transition as I would like. I don’t think my understanding of its use is incorrect as I actually watched HOW TO videos as well, and it all seemed to be as it should. At any rate, this was just a quick hack, but I think it’s a vast improvement over the original extended cut.

Theatrical: 2:09:57
Punch In The Gut Edition: 2:19:18

These are available if anyone wants them. Even though I am new to this, I do feel that I made huge improvements over the previously released editions. I would appreciate any feedback immensely.

Looking Forward to this.

It’s actually done

I’ve tried to find a 1080p ultimate cut of Alien that combined all of the footage of the both of the theatrical and the Director’s Cut of Ridley Scott’s Alien, and surprisingly could not find one. I figured this would be something someone would jump on. I could not locate one, so I created my own. (I admit that there is a possibility that one exists but that I could not find it, due to the generic term ALIEN and it coming up with so many results, so if this is a repeat, then I apologize).

This is what I would consider to be just an Extended version of the film, since my understanding is that even more footage can be found on the Alien Anthology and the Alien Legacy documentary. (which I’d love to may look into one day, when I get those items)

The base of the film is the Director’s Cut because it adds some CGI to make the outer space scenes more visually palatable in certain scenes. This basically combines all of the footage of the two version of the film with one minor exception… near the end of the film when the Alien comes upon Jones the cat, the Director’s Cut’s version is used as I liked it better. It gave more purpose to the Alien as it was only going after the crew members, including Ripley, and it could care less about the cat. It also tells us why the cat cage was where it was found by Ripley after she abandoned it and why it wasn’t upright. Also, between the two versions, there are two different scenes behind the medic bay glass after Kane comes in contact with the face hugger and is brought back onboard and his suit helmet is removed. I made a slight adjustment to have both versions shown as they are basically different ends of the same scene, and this still creates a very cohesive story line.

I elected to call this the Ripley Does Dallas version because the Director’s Cut adds a scene where Ripley kills (i.e. Does) Dallas at his request when she stumbles upon him near the end of the film and figured this would be a very humorous play on words.

Run times:

1:56:38 Theatrical
1:55:50 Director’s Cut
2:01:15 Extended Edition

Send me a PM if you’d be interested in seeing it. I’d appreciate feedback as I’m still new to this…

Done!

Say what you will about the film or the franchise (although I did like the film), but personally, I think this is the absolute best trailer ever for a movie. I want to thank anyone and everyone who ever put forth any effort or resources to preserve this in HD.

I wasn’t sure where the best place to ask this was so I plugged for here as the OP mentions it.

I’ve lost my old copy of the workprint and was trying to locate another copy.

A PM if you can help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

I’ve searched the web high and low for the workprint and only turned up a torrent thats been dead for years. If anyone in this thread has it to share I’d be eternally grateful.

I would love a copy of this too please.

Oh wow! I would love to get a 1080p+ version of this scanned in! Best damn trailer EVER!

Sorry for what may appear to be needless second entry…I forgot to include NOTIFY on my first post, and EDIT does not give option to include NOTIFY setting. I’m hoping that someone can get this scanned in.

Oh wow! I would love to get a 1080p+ version of this scanned in! Best damn trailer EVER!

Thanks for the upload. Is there any way that you could also post a 1080p version?

Sadly that’s the best I could do. sorry.

But didn’t you use Blu Ray as your source material?

Mod Edit: Do no post links to projects on here.

Please take the time to read the Fan Edit / Preservation Forum Rules and FAQ - and also take the time to look around this place, to see how it works - and how it does not.

Thanks for the upload. Is there any way that you could also post a 1080p version?

I also assume you used all elements of the theatrical and director’s cut…?

Yes that is what I used. the only parts I used from the Director’s Cut where the Cocoon Scene and the Alien and cat scene

Actually, in the director’s cut, these scenes are longer:

12:39 Min. - 14:14 Min. The Nostromo Crew is examining the mysterious signal more precisely. It sounds strange. It is neither a radio signal nor is it a voice. But the crew finds out which planet the signal comes from.

34:24 Min. - 34:36 Min. Kane is examining the egg more accurately. The facehugger moves. Then, there is a take of Kane bowing to the right with a gun in his hand. The last part of this shot is not in the DC, but in the Theatrical Version, but the main part of the take with Kane bowing is missing in the latter. (Might have to get quick snippets of each to get longest scene, which I would love)

37:43 Min. - 38:32 Min. The crew without Ripley is looking through a glass window into the laboratory. Parker is wondering how Kane can breathe and suggests to freeze the facehugger. Ripley comes down the ladder, Lambert goes for her and slaps her (because Ripley wouldn’t open the lock before). The men get the women apart. Parker says that Ripley hadn’t been wrong.

66:37 Min. - 67:02 Min. In the DC the dropping of the condensed water on Brett’s face in the room with the chains is being interrupted by a short ceilingshot of the lurking alien. Then another part of the close-up to the face. Again, an DC-exclusive take of the alien hanging on the chains. Now facetake part 3 from the Theatrical Version (but strongly cut, so you’d need the longer quick cut from theatrical), again followed by a new ceilingshot with the alien observing Brett.

67:53 Min. - 68:09 Min. After Brett’s screams Ripley and Parker come running into the room with the chains. They’re looking for Brett. When Parker looks up, blood drips on him.

77:02 Min. - 71:09 Min. After the shortened take of Lambert from the TC you can see Ripley stand up and then again Lambert. The DC then begins later compared to the Theatrical Cut, when Ripley already goes to Mother’s door, while in the TC you can still see the thing with the key card.

94:17 Min. - 96:07 Min. Ripley climbs down a ladder and ends up in a room in which Dallas is weaven on the wall as a host for the alien. Dallas whimpers for his death. Ripley grants his wish with the help of the flamethrower.

There are a couple of scenes that require quick snippets from Theatrical Cut to get longest cut, but they are there. I’d love to see this project to completion. If I can help in any way, I’ll be glad to. Just let me know.

I also assume you used all elements of the theatrical and director’s cut…?

I was dismayed to see the Director’s Edition was not given a BluRay release, so thank you for much for taking on this project. I’d love to get a link if this is still available. Thanks!

It is utterly amazing how little attention they give such a valuable property.

What’s the resolution?

Just curious… and I’m not trying to rush, but what’s the current status of this?

ElectricTriangle said:

Yeah, I made a ‘purist’ version which has all the shots you want. It’s among the links I sent you.

OK…question…if it has the added shots that he described, why is the time exactly the same? (I know that one of them is a replacement as opposed to an addition) Just curious.

I would definitely love this once you’re finished. I will see if I can locate any of the sources that you mentioned that you are looking for.

Thank you so very much! I look forward to seeing it when it’s available.

If memory serves correct, an extended version is shown from time to time on a Fox cable channel in HD. Does anyone have that?

You could cap it and make it yourself. This is lazy.

I actually would, but I have neither the software, hardware, or expertise to do so. If you could make those accommodations, I would be MORE than happy to, and grab many others that are of interest to you and anyone else.

Once more… I’m asking here if someone is willing to do it.

Again… I’m asking here if someone is willing to do it.

Again…I’m asking here if anyone is willing to do it…

Just what exactly are you trying to direct me to…? I find the info utterly off topic and therefor utterly useless for my purpose. I’m asking if someone is willing to create just such a version…
