Hello
I am currently in the process of recreating this edit completely from scratch in Vegas. I barely knew what I was doing in 2022, and the current version has many small audio issues I wasn't able to perceive back then.
I'm approaching each item that I want to fix with fresh perspective. Some of the items I simply won't try to fix this time around. For example, I'm still fixing the goof of Murphy pushing forward on the gear stick for 2nd gear, but I'm not going to fix the flack they give her for grinding third because I don't think I can do it in a way that feels seamless.
Most of the core changes remain, including the complete removal of the farmhouse conflict corn-burning contrivance.
This new version will be released in black and white. I think a lot of the photography in this film looks stunning in b&w, so I'm taking on the challenge of trying to present the entire film this way. I will likely release a colour version as well, since there's virtually no additional effort for that, but my focus will be on converting to b&w once the core editing is complete.
Regarding music, my current plan is to keep this 100% Hans Zimmer this time, though I'm on the fence. If I use Simon & Garfunkel again, I'll have a more restrained hand (eg. 2-3 fewer song placements). I like the idea of a purist Zimmer version so that's what I'm targeting now.
This edit is as much for the community as it is for me, so if you have any particular requests or have any strong feelings on the direction (eg. keep S&G), please share.
My original 2022 release will remain available upon request. I'll be revising the IFDB listing and updating the poster when this 2024 version is complete.
