As we approach the 15th anniversary in March 2024, I'm immensely excited to release this new version of the 2009 Watchmen movie. At first, it sounded simple. Just add the squid back in. But I decided it was really an opportunity to expand the movie beyond that. Using voice cloning and footage from the 2019 sequel miniseries, I was able to add back in major plot points from the comic. And by inserting nearly the entire Under the Hood feature as an in-world 60 Minutes type interview, I've expanded the world and story significantly.

I’ll go through both broad strokes and in intricate detail in other sections.

I'm calling this The Bass Reeves Cut of HBO's Watchmen. It turns the 9 episode miniseries into a 2 hour and 22 minute movie. My edit primarily concentrates on the mystery of what happened to Judd Crawford and the origin story of Hooded Justice. It centers on Angela Abar and Will Reeves. There's no Adrian Veidt, no Dr. Manhattan and just a bit of Laurie Blake.

This is a fun and strange little movie from 1980, a time when Disney was trying to expand into other genres. In this case, horror (though quite mild even by that day's standards). The original ending was not well received as it did not clearly explain what happened. It was subsequently removed and reshot with a less frightening and exposition heavy ending. Having finally acquired a Blu-Ray to source the highest quality available, I've cut both endings together and find they complement each very well. I've also put back in an alternative intro and all the extended or deleted scenes.

With the USS Enterprise temporarily disabled, Christopher Pike becomes acting captain of the starship Discovery in a race against time to find Spock and avoid the destruction of all sentient life in the universe.

Star Trek Discovery Season 2 introduces Captain Pike, Spock and Number One to modern Trek and serves as a backdoor pilot for Star Trek Strange New Worlds (SNW). Many viewers are eager for more SNW but not interested in committing to the first two seasons of Discovery (29 episodes, as it's a very serialized show). I took it upon myself to trim the 14 episodes of Discovery's second season into a 4 episode prequel to SNW. It no longer references any Discovery season 1 events and cuts all side stories, primarily concentrating on Pike and Spock. I call it Star Trek Strange New Worlds Season Zero.
