Jazz club scene SEVERELY cut down. It goes something along the lines of:
Peter and Gwen get their table, they have their conversation about going somewhere else after they see MJ, then the DJ says "Mary Jane, show us what you've got."
The next scene is Peter taking Gwens hand to dance with her. All that other crap is gone. I wish I could take credit for that cut, but it belongs to Adigitalman at Fanedit. He came up with that idea first, he just allowed me to use it.
The beginning, I too find it too cheery, and worked on changing that, but I never found anything I really liked. You have to have the shot of him in class with Gwen and Conners to set both of them up for later in the film, you need to see how NY is gaga over SM (which never happened in the comics, but I digress, not much I can do about that in this film), and it leads into MJ's play. There is really not a lot you can do without there.
I am off this weekend, so I plan on getting some editing done. I'm running into rough spots with the changes I made to Harrys flashback scene, and to the Harry v Peter mansion fight, seems there's some issues with the surround sound and the new music I added. Other than that, besides some minor audio issues I need to tweak, the film is pretty much ready to go.
Here is what to expect:
Two Disc Special Edition:
Disc One-
Spiderman 3.1 film
Dolby 5.1 audio
Editors Commentary
Pop ups show changes, alterations, ect (?)- may or may not happen, depending on time
Disc Two-
Deleted Scenes w/ commentary
Spiderman 3 theatrical parody to music (will not be in if there is an outcry about a parody in a now very serious film. Its more of a lighthearted poking at the original SM3s more outrageous moments)
Trailers for SM3.1
Upcoming edit Trailers (Batman Returns, Star Trek:Nemesis, Lord of the Rings: Aragons Journey)
Art created for the release of SM3.1 (if you want your poster/art included, post or PM me now!)
Oh yeah.... I don't think many would be interested in this
An animated Spiderman film from Spiderman TAS (mid 90's cartoon) of the Venom saga, edited together to make one film.
Oh yeah, I changed the end credits. It now includes the beginning of the Spider Suit from SM2, Walter Reed and Sorry. I think those two fit the movie really really well.
