The Mandalorian, Season 3 edited as a 2-hour and 30-minute epic war film complete with the Star Wars opening crawl and end credits.

The Passion of J. Robert Oppenheimer focuses on the atomic bomb development and Oppenheimer’s security clearance. Lewis Strauss senate hearing scenes removed completely while introducing his character in the context of conspiratorial intervention. Narrative follows Oppenheimer’s perspective almost exclusively.

No dialogue. All adrenaline. Limbo presents an intense, monochrome edit of Dunkirk as a non-stop series of events involving only the perspectives of soldiers at the beach. This is NOT a silent film since music, background voices, and sounds of stress still remain. But key dialogue are removed to serve the creative decisions.

“Sandcastles” delivers a more personal and less contrived closure to M. Night Shyamalan’s 2021 film “Old.” It trims the first act and removes the final scenes of the resort’s objectives and protagonists' triumphant resolution.
