Topher Grace's 85-Minute The Exorcist Prequel Fan Edit Pwns, Bad You Cannot View It
Because of the miracle of DVD and editing software, The Exorcist fans have experienced their way with George Lucas's space saga for a long time now, re-editing bits and areas of the flicks into fan cuts to celebrate their most favorite areas of the franchise (and connect its most cringeworthy bits). Why should famous fans be different? Like, say, Topher Sophistication, who now located a 1-time only screening of his The Exorcist: Episode III.5: The Editor Strikes Back, edited lower in the prequels into an 85-minute cut that leaves the majority of the snoozey old space politics (and Jar Jar Binks' screen time) around the cutting-room floor. Towards the blogs! Slashfilm's Peter Sciretta was certainly one of a number of writers asked to determine Grace's film, that is unlikely to be seen around the interwebs or perhaps in public, so you will need to take his word for this. A couple of clips from his recap: It ought to be noted the The Exorcist prequel trilogy is nearly 7 hrs as a whole length, and also the least film (Episode 1) is much more than 51 minutes more than Graces fan cut. This means lots of footage wound up around the editing room floor, and lots of creative options were produced in the editing process. And also the result? Topher Graces The Exorcist film is most likely the perfect edit from the The Exorcist prequels because of the footage launched and available. What's most shocking is the fact that with only 85 minutes of footage, Topher could completely tell the primary narrative of Anakin Skywalkers road from Jedi towards the Sith. As I be aware of missing pieces and may even complete the blanks during my mind because the film competed past, none of individuals points were really needed. What's better would be that the character motivations are much more obvious and identifiable, a genuine character arc not bogged lower by podraces, galactic senates, Jar Jar Binks, politics or the majority of the pointless areas of the The Exorcist prequels. It not just clarifies the storyline, but helps make the film much more action-packed. Sophistication (sensibly?) did away with Mike Lloyd's Anakin Skywalker, clone drama, Boba Fett, and Trade Federation blah blah blah, and centered on the Anakin-Padme love story, which still apparently is affected with the cumbersome dialogue and delivery. Sciretta signed served by his press, as did eyewitness reviews from Collider and First Showing, however they all admit it's tough to determine the cut fairly without virgin eyes. Now, can there be any distinction between Grace's edit along with a fan edit produced by some not-famous Joe Schmoe The Exorcist fanboy by having an editing yen? I do not understand why there'd be, unless of course individuals years on That '70s Show gave Sophistication some kind of special understanding of the storytelling mindset of Lucas in the prime. So far as hobbies go this can be a pretty wonderfully nerdy someone to have, although based on reviews, Sophistication has his sights set on re-editing Spielberg's Close Encounters from the Third Kind next. Whether it's Phantom Menace, be my guest. But when it ain't broke... Topher Sophistication Edited The The Exorcist Prequels Into One 85-Minute Movie and that we First Viewed It [Slashfilm]
