This edit includes footage and voiceovers left out of the final release of this film, as well as a superior grade based on the first two cuts of the film.

d'Artagnan seeks to become a Musketeer and avenge the death of his parents. The same Musketeer story, but singularly focused on d'Artagnan's storyline.

The overly long, over-edited Best Picture award-winning film by Christopher Nolan has been cut down to an hour-and-a-half-long story focused on The Manhattan Project. The oppressive omnipresent score by Ludwig Göransson was removed, with only three tracks put back in. The rest of the music is from other artists. For scenes with no music, new sound effects have been added. Intercutting of shots and scenes has been greatly reduced.

For me, The Northman is one of the best movies released in 2022. I just wanted to extend it a little bit more with the deleted scenes included in the 4K UHD.

It is the same movie that we love, but extended.

To make a slightly different movie keeping the supernatural touch that it was left ambiguous in the original movie.

Ridley Scott's "The Last Duel" gives some interesting opportunities for editing work. Not only the narration is non-linear here, but we see some events from various points of view. So, what if we try to transform it to more linear narration, choose between those viewpoints along the way, or mix them together, to get a different take on this story?

This is the reconstructed version of the Roadshow with is 40 minutes longer in 720p and STEREO.

A savage and unsentimental a film. Except for an embarrassingly sentimental, sappy prologue and epilogue. This is a version without schmaltz that does not pander to the audience.

Removed narrative clutter for a more fitting tribute to these legendary comics.

The longer 1996 cut of the 1971 Disney classic with the worst instances of redubbed dialogue removed, a little less "With a Flair" and a lot more translation.

The main source for this edit is the Director's Cut blu-ray, with all unique footage of the Theatrical Cut put back in, while also retaining the small amount of unique DC footage. The HD DC footage looks fantastic but the SD TC footage looks extremely poor, however, I've attempted to grade it to match and added film grain to try and make it look a bit more like terrible 16mm or 8mm footage, rather than terrible videotape. Not wanting to crop the already blurry TC footage any further, I've elected to letterbox the DC footage to match the 1.66:1 ratio of the TC. The difference is still obvious though.

A restoration of the 170-minute extended cut of the film, shown on ABC over two nights in 1996.

This isn't a heavy edit, it's mostly a restructure. The 10-minute 'Second Battle of the Somme' sequence, which occurs 3/4 of the way through and does not feature Joey, derails the movie. So the Somme sequence is shifted to the start, to form a new flashback/prologue and is now in black & white with an added old-fashioned vignette, further separating it visually from the main body of the movie, suggesting something of the past about it and creating a contrast with the vibrant colourful countryside of the first Devon scenes. The fact that the Somme sequence already featured no score, unlike the lushly orchestrated John Williams scenes that follow it, was a bonus distancing factor. We will now not really see Albert again until the end of the film, just a brief glimpse of his face, lit by the guns that Joey is dragging, only informing us that Albert has joined up. The 2-minute cutaway back to Albert in England disrupted the otherwise entirely Joey focused narrative, so that is simply deleted. There are a few more minor cuts to massage the new continuity and to slightly delay certain aspects of the story. On-screen chapter titles are added (in the same style and font as the existing time/place titles), acknowledging the episodic nature of the story and who owns, or cares for Joey in those episodes.

With his mother dead and his father at war, Seita takes it upon himself to protect and raise his younger sister Setsuko during WWII.

The adventure you remember... only with considerably tighter pacing, enhanced stop motion, and more.

Two Tales restructures the Extended Cut of American Gangster from one that inter-cuts the stories of Richie Roberts and Frank Lucas into one that is built around three distinct sections; Richie's story, Frank's story, and once they collide.

The Der Stolz Edition of Inglourious Basterds extends the film as four new and extended scenes are masterfully integrated back into the film, reincorperating 6 minutes of new footage.

All new footage with German speaking has been subtitled to match the rest of the film, to engage the audience with an even deeper cut of this masterpiece.

This edit is based upon the straight chronology of the Theatrical Cut, interweaved with much of the Final Cut’s additional material. I also excised anything that insults audience intelligence or prevents this film from being the sweeping, ever-moving-forward epic it so desperately wants to be.

This edit cuts down Series 1 of Peaky Blinders into a feature length film. The focus of the film is on Tommy Shelby, the expansion of the Peaky Blinders gang, and its rivalries with Campbell’s police force, Billy Kimber’s Gang, and the Lee Gang, with the IRA and Freddy Thorne’s communists being secondary antagonists.

A straightforward edit that does no more than cut up "The Irishman" at key places, transforming it into a 4-part miniseries.
-
Pennsylvania, 1956. Frank Sheeran, a war veteran of Irish origin who works as a truck driver, accidentally meets mobster Russell Bufalino. Once Frank becomes his trusted man, Bufalino sends him to Chicago with the task of helping Jimmy Hoffa, a powerful union leader related to organized crime, with whom Frank will maintain a close friendship for nearly twenty years.

Replace a few shots in Apollo 13, using the the amazing 65mm footage from Apollo 11 (2019).

I want to focus on the story of the Titanic in 1912 - not the additional story set to 1997, and the sinking of the ship. I want to focus on the humanity. I want to focus on the brutality. And I want to put the tragedy in focus. I want us to see how the people - not just Jack and Rose, dealt with the disaster, and how the rich felt for the poor, and how the poor felt for the rich. There is so much kindness and humanity along with the brutality of this story, and much of it is in the narrative already - but overshadowed by the focus on Jack and Rose. And much of it is in the deleted scenes already.

The edit removes the bookends of the treasure hunt, this edit is purely 1912. It cuts down on the Rose/Jack name calling, and Jack egging Rose on so much. Him calling her stupid is removed. Some deleted scenes are added to add depth where Old Rose voice over has been removed, and there is a newly constructed ending.

The original 160-minute 'Theatrical Cut' of 'Amadeus' that won multiple Oscars and BAFTAs in 1984 only exists on an old poor quality 1998 PAL "flipper" DVD (and Laserdisc and VHS). Every release since then (including all blu-rays) has been the 180-minute 'Director's Cut'. I simply wanted to cut the DC blu-ray to match the TC DVD, so I have both cuts as an option.

A shorter, more focused adventure/survival tale.

The Great(er) Gatsby replaces all the modern background music which caused the film much infamy with more appropriate Jazz and Classical music. 4 deleted scenes have also been restored into the film to make it closer to the book.

With more than 600 impious subtitles and minus heaps of violence and miracles, this godsploitation edit breathes new life into the story of Jesus's death.

Cuts are numerous throughout, but the main narrative change is that Captain Jack Sparrow no longer dies or needs rescuing from Davey Jones Locker. This one altered story beat removed the downing of the Pearl, Singapore, and the Locker itself. Along with other cuts to tone down some of the sillier moments, Heart of the Maelstrom has become a rip roaring ride across the Caribbean.

This is an edit of Game of Thrones Season 1 focused on Eddard Stark.

This is a recreation of the rarely seen "Theatrical Cut" or "2nd Director's Cut" of 'Heaven's Gate' using the beautiful HD Blu-Ray transfer of the "Preview/Premiere/1st Director's Cut". The much shorter cut is not a studio-imposed hatchet-job but the result of 6 months of Director Michael Cimino's further work in the cutting room, trying to perfect the film. It's 67 minutes shorter, features a voiceover, radically rearranged scenes, altered dialogue, music and SoundFX and 18 minutes of new footage.

For whatever reason he did not chose to restore this cut of the film for Blu-Ray and opted to present his first much longer cut that he himself had withdrawn. So here is my attempt to recreate that "2nd Director's Cut" in the best quality possible.

It's Christmas, so I fancied doing a seasonal edit and what better than a Victorian Christmas with Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson!

When Xerxes of Persia launches an invasion of Greece, two of her most legendary warriors - Leonidas of Sparta and Themistocles of Athens - lead the defense of their homeland.

The eighth consecution project features a whopping total of 14 short fanedits, spread across two-discs (a first for these consecutions). Come join us as we travel through space and time...

The ill-advised 1999 reunion special of celebrated BBC historical comedy Blackadder was never very funny but the time-travel plot was a hoot. So what if all the jokes were cut? Would it make the plot stronger and also would it become oddly funnier? The time-travel consecution seemed the ideal way to find out!

Steven Soderbergh made a fanedit of Michael Cimino's much maligned 1980 epic 'Heaven's Gate' back in 2006 (For his own amusement). This year he decided to release it onto the internet via his blog, but the visual quality was very poor, as it was cut from the un-restored DVD (Also compressed for streaming).

I really wanted to enjoy Soderbergh's dramatic slashing-in-half of this overlong but beautiful film but the poor quality stopped me. So now I've recreated 'The Butcher's Cut' frame-by-frame based on the restored 2012 'Heaven's Gate' Blu-Ray. It's Steven Soderbergh's fanedit with me just presenting it in the best possible light.

'Heaven's Gate' has many strengths, including some the most beautiful cinematography you're likely to see, a wonderfully poetic script and one of the greatest scores ever recorded. But pacing, strict editing, character motivation and narrative clarity weren't among them. I think Soderbergh has addressed many of these flaws and also reduced the inflated running time down to almost exactly a half.

Ben-Hur is the greatest of the 'classic' Hollywood epics, and is widely regarded as one of the best of all time. The story is of a Jewish prince (Charlton Heston in an Oscar winning role) who is wrongfully accused of attempting to assassinate the new Roman governor by a Roman provincial who was his one-time trusted friend, causing him to be exiled as a slave and his mother and sister to be locked away, but not before he swears vengeance.

The original clocked in at almost 4 hours, as it attempted to tell the tale of the rise of Christianity along with Ben-Hur's struggles. This edit removes almost all instances of the tale of Christianity, to focus on Ben-Hur, his quest for vengeance, redemption and salvation, all in the far more manageable time of 2 hours and 24 minutes.

Red Tails Redux strikes a more serious tone than the theatrical cut. This version of the film eliminates two poorly received subplots, the 'Love Story' and the 'Prison Escape'. Red Tails Redux also features trims to most of the juvenile humor and on-the-nose dialogue as well as several editorial fixes to improve structure and pacing.
