Original First Post, September 2017
After making my own Spidey 3 edit was just an idea for a few years, I've begun editing the film based on a lot of previously released edits such as Badscooter's Redemption edit and the recent @"SonOfSinbad" Back and Black as well as my own ideas that have built up over a while. Within the spoiler tag was my initial idea of a cutlist, but I've added and subtracted things as this develops. Uncle Ben's killer is definitely not Sandman though as that will all be cut out. The only current concrete changes are as follows;
- cut the kids walking away from the screen and Pete trying to lure them back
- cut Pete's "I'm so nervous" when the music starts as the 2 guys squash him
- cut most of the Harry and Pete dialogue in their confrontation outside the play
- cut most of Peter and MJ's talk backstage as the Harry convasation transitions into Harry and the Goblin Serum
- cut the cops rolling away as Marko watches
- cut Marko's ex-wife saying "you maybe even killed a man"
- cut Marko's ex-wife saying "you and the truth in a box...eating 3 meals a day"
- cut Marko saying "I'm not a bad guy, just bad luck"and rearranged some shots to compensate
- cut Aunt May's story about Uncle Ben. It's not bad, it just slows the scene right down and drags quite a bit
- cut some of the struggle in the Harry/Pete fight before Harry cuts him
- trim some of Pete swinging and blasting web balls at Harry
- cut Pete's goofy close up as he's falling
- cut a close up of Pete's goofy face as he's being dragged across the building
- cut a cop telling Cpt. Stacy about Marko's whereabouts and his involvment in Uncle Ben's murder
- cut Marko punching a cop dog
- cut the scientists from the Sandman creation scene
- cut the nurse talking to Harry about his friends and the "subtle" foreshadowing
- cut everything in the MJ Review convo between 'this is about me" and "it's just, i look at these words"
- cut "they sound like my father wrote them" as the police dispatcher interrupts her as she sighs
- cut Pete's "Go get em tiger?"
- cut Pete's "I'm sorry"
- cut Gwen's modeling scene and thw whole "I've got a secret, it's my copeyah"
- rescored the intial crane impact instead of the upbeat music playing in the office
- cut Eddie's "are you smiling? just kidding"
- cut Eddie's "he makes you look kind of bloated, y'know a little chunky". He now calls Parker an amateur and Spidey reponds with an "Okay?"
- cut the JJJ and Ted Raimi slogan/vibrating desk pill scene
- cut Pete's goofy dancing to the marching band
- replaced Spidey's "Shazam!" with a "Yahoo!" courtesy of Spider-Man: The Game (2002)
- cut the kid being disgusted at Spidey kissing Gwen
- cut Pete talking to himself at the table as he reherses what Gwen might say
- cut Pete calling MJ only for her not to answer
- cut Peter and Aunt May finding out who really killed Uncle Ben from Cpt Stacy
- cut MJ at Peter's apartment talking about Uncle Ben's killer and her offering sympathy
Cutlist will be updated eventually as I develop the edit further.
Ideal runtime would be somewhere under 2 hours, maybe 1hr 56 if I'm lucky, but that's just an estimate at the moment.
As always, suggestions are welcome.
It's been quite a while since someone tried to fix Spider-Man 3, so I thought I'd give it a crack. Taking ideas from Badscooter's acclaimed The Darkness Within and Joelio's Dark Cut mixed in with the offical Editor's Cut and some of my own ideas. I've come up with this cutlist of over 50 edits. But the general intentions are:
-Have the characters make their own decisions
-Make the film darker in tone and more serious
-Have the Spidey campiness where its warranted
-Make it worthy to sit next to the first 2 on the shelf
