New Release Constantine Extended by shion93

Hello There!
I remember watching this movie for the first time with my aunt; we were always into horror. We rented the DVD along with a bunch of other horror movies for a weekend marathon. As soon as we finished watching Constantine (2005), we were blown away by the way an exorcist mocked demons.
What’s more, the DC Comics logo appeared in the intro, signaling that it was an adaptation. Years later, I looked up the character and became fascinated by his stories. To me, this adaptation embodies the idea that you don't always need a 1:1 faithful recreation of the source material to tell a great story. Is the movie perfect? ​​No, but in my view, it offers a really interesting take on the character.
With that in mind, I wanted to reintegrate as many deleted scenes as possible to make the experience more immersive. Mainly due to the fact that it features an interesting character named Ellie.

🔧 Changes Made

  • Added the deleted scene featuring John and Chas at the bowling alley.
  • Added the deleted scene where Angela watches security footage showing what happened to Isabel.
  • Removed the scene of the Scavenger jumping the fence.
  • Added the deleted scene showing the Scavenger influencing the deaths of the police officers.
  • Added the deleted scene of John adjusting the audio before playing the vinyl record in his apartment.
  • Added the deleted scene of Father Hennessy feeling thirsty in his apartment.
  • Added the deleted scene featuring John and Ellie in bed.
  • Removed the scene where John talks to Chas in the taxi before going to see Gabriel; that conversation was already covered in the added bowling alley scene, so now Chas simply complains that John doesn't talk to him. (I like how this highlights an almost one-sided relationship.)
  • Added the deleted scene of Angela researching John in her apartment.
  • Added the deleted scene featuring John and the insect demon.
  • Added the deleted scene of Ellie at Midnite's club, featuring the song "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" by The Smashing Pumpkins. (I rearranged some shots and removed others to better integrate it with the original scene.)
  • Added the deleted scene where John discusses his traumatic childhood with Ellie while eating hot dogs.
  • Added the deleted scene of John attempting to summon Beeman's killer after finding his body.
  • Added the deleted scenes featuring Ellie during John's fight with the demons in the room prior to the final showdown.
  • Added a portion of the deleted scene where Angela stays with John during the final speech, when it is revealed that Chas has become an angel. This scene was originally intended to be the film's ending, but the director and I feel that the theatrical ending, which is lonelier, suits the character better; That same scene was used in the theatrical cut's post-credits scene, but without Angela. I decided to add a single frame of Angela to the post-credits scene.

Work in Progress Videodrome (1983) 35mm Remix details. W.I.P.

27 Upvotes

I've added the unrated scenes/shots into the print, and inserted many of the extra television scenes with some re-editing/trims.

I've also re-created the opening of the t.v. version with the painting, using a high resolution version that Skenera provided. Unlike the t.v. version, I only use the first half of the opening, before transitioning to the regular credits in the theatrical version(clip shown below). It's the first few seconds of the t.v. version that are great and ominous. Then the attempt to pad out a new credit sequence with the painting showing upclose shots of the actors on the image as their credit comes on screen, and then the camera panning around the painting is cheesy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1OZFgJgVfE&t=4s

I cropped the extra scenes to 1.85:1 and added a 16mm grain filter over the image to try to make it look less like video. The current running time is 95 minutes.

The added scenes are:

Longer hotel meeting with the Japanese businessmen.

Extra dialogue between Max and Nicki as they watch Videodrome, "No is the dirtiest word I've ever heard" discussion before the sex scene. This bit still needs some work to fit it into the scene.

Introduction to Masha long before the scene that she's first introduced in the theatrical version begins. I re-edited the scene though, so I cut out the first shot of her waiting in his office, and immediately cut to Max walking through the door(which matches the last shot from the hallway of him entering the office). Then I cut out the last half of the meeting when she goes into a longer description of the show she's trying to sell to Max. When she says confidently how much he'd love the program, it then cuts to the scene as shown in the theatrical version.

Longer speech of Brian O'Blivion telling Max he has a nice little addiction going.

"Soup or veggie?" scene as Max explores the Cathode Ray Mission. It adds more weirdness to the mix with the uncomfortable tension between Max and the volunteer as well as some awkward humor.

The "video love letter" from Nicki scene was added with the theatrical scene that has someone telling Max a limo is waiting to take him to meet Barry Convex. It needs some re-editing of audio and such to work. I want to make it seem like a hallucination since Nicki is still dead/missing in the final release of the film, unlike the exposition filled scene that happens with Max and Nicki in the limo in the t.v. version which kills much of the mystery/intrigue around Videodrome itself. I currently deleted all her dialogue about "it's very complicated Max. I have so much to tell you. I'm waiting downstairs." So now she's trying to seduce Max via the phone/video love letter saying "come to Nicki Max, come to me." before disappearing. Brian O' Blivion makes an appearance here as well.

A scene of Max walking to the studio, and seeing a hallucination of himself wearing a bizarre helmet is added to the film. This happens after his meeting with Barry Convex, and no I did not use any of the extra exposition used in the t.v. version of the meeting that explains everything about Videodrome itself and how it came to be. The ambiguity of the final released version is great vs someone telling us what it's about.

I'm now working on adding screaming, electrocution and whipping sound effects to a couple Videodrome transmission sequences, as the full reel is included on the Criterion Collection as a bonus feature(no audio besides commentary). I'm going to try to insert bits of them throughout the movie to make it more trippy and disturbing as reality falls apart as the signal takes over. I may only insert a couple moments briefly at certain points. It's all up in the air on whether it works or not.

I'll probably play around with some tones on my synthesizer to add to the footage as well, and add some distortion effects to the footage as well.

And that is all for now.

Discussion What happened to alternative endings and deleted scenes?

10 Upvotes

I remember back in the day (VHS and early DVD) many contained alternative endings and deleted scenes. Sometimes they were special edition Directors Cut, but it many times it seemed to be just the regular editions. I enjoyed seeing them and wondering about the decisions made for one ending over another and scenes that were filmed but cut.

Now that everything is streaming, I never see this done.

Anyone know why?

Does anyone here have an edit fixing The Lone Ranger? This was one of my favorite movies growing up, so I'm curious to know if anyone made a cut fixing the weaker points of this film.

New Release Great video from Rick Worley on Vrach Frankenshteyn

0 Upvotes

Rick Worley (who previously did that 5-hour video on the mythology I also highly recommend) has done an analytical look at the differences between all the cuts of IWTB. This digs into not just the obvious differences we all know, but where exactly some shots are shorter/longer or where alternate takes were used. It’s definitely more extensive than appears on first glance.

Now I disagree with Rick that none of the deletions are a disservice to Scully’s subplot (which is my main issue with the VF cut), or that the movie shouldn’t have to deal with things left over from the original series (being a movie that comes after the original show ended is it’s place in the timeline and editing it with an eye towards what happened in the revival doesn’t make sense to me). But, I agree that the criticism that we don’t get to know more about the villains is wrong, we don’t need to, and the real “Frankenstein” element is the questionable lengths (to different degrees) that both they and Scully go to in order to save someone’s life (to this end, one of the best changes is intercutting the operation with the second abducted woman in captivity). And, of course, I agree generally that fans not getting what they want isn’t a reason to take away this franchise from Carter.
