Hi guys,
Been a very long time since I submitted a fanedit to the site, but I think I've managed to produce something that's worthy of being shared.
Faneditor Name: Father Merrin
Original Movie Title: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – The Editors Edition
Genre: Fantasy
Franchise: Lord of the Rings
Fanedit Type: FanFix
Original Running Time: An Unexpected Journey -182mins (reduced to 113mins)
Original Running Time: The Desolation of Smaug - 187mins (reduced to 49mins)
Fanedit Running Time: 162mins
Fanedit Release Date: 2015
Available in HD? Sort of
Brief Synopsis: A leaner version of the original films. I set out to minimise the Dwarves’ unattractive personalities and have removed the love triangle, but not the love story entirely. I removed Beorn as his scenes served no purpose to the overall plot and just slowed the whole thing down. It’s probably closer to Guillermo del Toro’s original structure in terms of where it ends, but I have given the film two cliff hanger endings.
My Unexpected Journey edit is influenced heavily on Menbailee’s (Stone giants and dwarf montage).
List of General Changes:
Dwarf prologue and Frodo gone
Shire lasts 21mins
Radaghast opening scene gone
Troll death made less clunky
Troll cave reduced
Radagast and Gandalf talk reduced
Chase scene reduced
Elves & Dwarf dinner gone
Stone giants gone
Goblin scene reduced
Beorn gone
Thranduil and Tauriel scene reduced
Tauriel and Kili reduced
Barrell scene reduced

Brief Synopsis: A leaner version of the original films. Very much a case of getting to Smaug as quickly as possible without losing continuity. I’m very happy with how I fixed the ‘Smaug covered in gold’ problem which meant I was able to cut the Dwarves stuff completely at the end. The Battle of the Five Armies changes have yet to be done. Overall I liked the film so will probably keep most of it, except Alfrid.
List of General Changes
Fish scene gone
Opening Master scene reduced
Toilet scene gone
Bard history lesson gone
Dwarves outside mountain gone
Dwarves leaving mountain gone
Tauriel saving Kili reduced
Dwarves vs Smaug gone
Smaug exploding out of the mountain in gold fixed.
