To celebrate Halloween this year, I am completing a very basic edit of Catspaw which converts the material to widescreen and restores the unused opening and end title credits music.

I've always wanted versions of the first two Terminator films that don't spoil the plot upfront, but instead let the story play out in more of a noir mystery style. This is the first of those two edits.

I, like many have always felt Star Trek : Generations was a disappointment. But I saw a good movie in there. I loved the cast, the performances were good, I liked the story, and the vibe of it. Where it failed was a slow and boring pacing. This is not a new take on the story, merely a faster, more exciting, and more engaging presentation of it. It's no longer slow or meandering and it's much more intense.

Transformers is a film that came at just the right time in my life - at 13 years old, the concept of giant alien robots fighting each other and turning into all manner of vehicles was mind-blowing. Unfortunately in the years that followed, my tastes in films changed, and the film I once adored became hard to sit through. Since the nostalgia was still there, I started to wonder whether I could trim the film to live up to my teenage image of it, and spurred on by my discovery of Harmy's Despecialized Editions and this website, I went ahead and gave it a go.

As thousands of solar systems threaten to secede from the Galactic Republic, the Dark Side of the Force shrouds the Jedi's vision. Caught up in a plot to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala, Anakin Skywalker must navigate the balance between his oath to the Jedi Order and his growing feelings for Padmé. But as Padmé's own feelings grow amidst a looming galactic conflict, can Anakin and the Jedi turn the tide toward peace, or will war consume them all?

Find out in SHROUD OF THE DARK SIDE, a fanedit that uses deleted scenes (AI-upscaled to 4K with HDR) and some redone visual effects to restructure the love story in "Attack of the Clones" to proceed more naturally and realistically while also streamlining and making sense of the politics behind the Grand Army of the Republic and the Jedi Council.

The same movie without the Epilogue.

"Shades of Gray" shortened to a half-hour episode.

The greedy Trade Federation has established a blockade of warships around the planet of Naboo and threatened her people with starvation. It is up to a small band of heroes, including two jedi, a queen, and a young boy from Tattooine, to save the people of Naboo from the sinister Nute Gunray and his fellow Neimoidians.

After uncovering a mysterious artifact buried beneath the Lunar surface, a spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to find its origins - a spacecraft manned by two men and the supercomputer H.A.L. 9000.

Evoking the emotions of the original, this tackles shot lengths and pacing and highlights H.A.L.'s motivations for a more approachable version of the film.

New watchers of the film should find this more approachable. Thank you for considering...The Short Cut.

This edit pares off some runtime to improve pacing, and edits certain aspects of the story so the main characters enter the story without prior knowledge of each other.

By cutting out scenes that are out of character and using alternant or deleted material form the movie I wanted to give this movie a different feel. I also rescored scenes with different music to recontextualize or emphasize different moments in the movie.

A darker take on the Star Wars sequel trilogy, End of Skywalker transforms The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker into a single movie with an all-new, more cohesive story focused on the connection between Rey and Kylo and their uncertain relationship to the Jedi and the Force. Major cuts and changes, not least of which is the use of the Japanese dubs to allow for rewritten dialogue and new English subtitles, results in a thrilling, reimagined Star Wars experience that acts as a definitive end to the Skywalker saga.

Note: This fanedit requires you do not understand the Japanese language.

Fueled by remorse and vengeance, a high schooler named Terry McGinnis revives the role of Batman. Under the supervision of an elderly Bruce Wayne, he fights crime in a harsh, futuristic Gotham.

This is a TV to Movie edit of Batman Beyond.

Star Wars with a rocking soundtrack! Heavy Star Wars takes the existing action and adventure, trimming away unnecessary story/action/bad acting, and replaces the soundtrack with Rock music!

This is Spicediver's 1080p high definition rebuild of Dune The Alternative Edition Redux, his 2012 fanedit (in 480 standard definition) of David Lynch's 1984 science fiction film.

This edit removes the extensive expository dialogue from Gordon, makes the Penguin a strong mob-boss (not a buffoon), changes Batman's overall arc, and restructures the storyline to remove and replace the studio tacked-on flood/shooter ending.

This edit focuses the narrative on the renunciation, criticism, and eventual opposition to the goals of their god Arishem. IMO this movie was a metaphor for the different ways of questioning authority - misguided soldiers, missionaries, colonizers, etc… these basic concepts are I wanted to elevate.

Using Pink Floyd's "Time" as a jumping off point, this edit also includes new songs from Pearl Jam, Massive Attack, Tool, and the Alan Parson's Project.

An alternate take on Mudd's Women, re-structuring it into how it may have looked, had it become the second pilot.

This fanedit is my love letter to John Carpenter's classic horror film "The Thing" but also to that beautiful decade that was the 80s. There are many, many movie and pop culture references throughout; there's a new soundtrack, alternate dialog, new visual effects (some so subtle only the most hardcore The Thing fans will notice) and more Easter eggs than Palmer's got dutchies. Basically, I threw everything but the kitchen sink at this Thing.

I have tried to recreate the Superman Epic as it was originally conceived by Richard Donner, following the shooting script whenever possible and before the movie was cut in half. This is Superman I and II as a complete motion picture.

A guy named Guy and his buddy Buddy argue about Guy's dream girl until she mysteriously appears to be real. Could this be the moment Guy's been waiting for his whole life? Or could there be some dark secret held by this mysterious girl?

In a funkadelic future Los Angeles, a jaded ex-cop hunts down three androids designed to look human, and he isn’t too concerned about killing a human by “mistake.” Whoopsie.

A short edit comprised almost entirely from scenes and deleted scenes on Naboo. This is intended as a companion piece to my Attack of the Clones No Naboo Cut.

The Narrative differes from AOTC in that the story takes place after the Clone Wars have begun and Anakin and Padme have already fallen in love. Apart from a short scene at the start it all takes place on Naboo.

The trip to Naboo has been cut and instead Anakin and Padme go straight to Tattoine after leaving Corouscant. In the Jedi council scene Mace Windu now does not tell Anakin to take Padme to Naboo instead Yoda tells him to hide out on Tatooine with Padme.

From Padme packing her bags until the Funeral of Anakin's Mom almost all scenes have been rearranged.

Obi Wan's investigation into Kamino and who created the clone army has him doing more detective work, gathering more clues and now has a satisfying conclusion to the Sifo Dyas mystery.

Various cuts and trims to Anakins dialogue to create a stronger character and beter romantic arc with Padme.

Scenes cut:
Anakin and Padme traveling to Naboo as refugees.
All the Naboo scenes (with the exception of the Fireside Conversation scene which now will take place on the Lars Moisture farm on Tatooine. The scene now comes in between Anakin returning with the dead body of his mother and her funeral).

Added deleted scenes:
Padme in the Senate.
Obi Wan and Mace Windu on the landing platform as Obi Wan is leaving for Kamino.
Obi Wan with Analysis droids (This scene now takes place on Kamino after he talks to Jango Fett. The Droid dialogue will be replaced so that when they analyze the Dart they discover the toxic poison comes from the Moons of Bogden.)
Anakin and Padme speak with Dooku on Geonosis.
Anakin and Padme are sentenced to death by Poggle on Geonosis.

Two main goals here, beyond just the general nips and tucks. ONE - Give the film more of an OT vibe with color correction, film grain, and new music throughout. TWO - Improve Anakin’s story. I find his fall to the dark side in the theatrical film to be rather sudden and unconvincing. So here my job was to sort of smooth out the kinks - trying to make Anakin more sure of himself and his allegiance to Palpatine before the turn, and then somewhat softening his words and actions after the turn. There’s a lot of subtle little changes and tweaks that went into this all across the film, but I do feel like the sum is that his story in this version is more believable.
