BURLESQUE-The Sunset Strip Edit

Like last year with my Dr Jones, which was accompanied with the release of DREAMGIRLS - The Broadway Edition, here is BURLESQUE...(was going to call it the T*TS out edit...but...

It will be up tonight, so here is the lowdown for you men that would like the wife to also watch a fanedit..(and for you gurlz....)...I have done Sucker Puch for Gurlz....(see thread).
WRAITH

This edit aims to expand and enhance BURLESQUE by adding in the deleted musical numbrs, restoring
the deleted shots which were removed to get a sanitised PG13 rating, restoring the opening sequece
that was dumped prior to release, and creating a new transition sequence to get to the theatre in a
slightly less rushed fashion. Some cheese was inevitable trimmed. Alan Cummings musical number is
restored to this version.
Some sequences were re-ordered and individual shots also re-ordered in places for flow, pace,
transition and dramatic effect.
Running time: 2h 8min
THEATRICAL VERSION 1hr 58min
Cuts 2min
Added 12 min
New RT 2hr 8 min
001 New opening taking the deletd opening and reordering some shots and some shot substitution
002 Custom credits added to the unfinnished opening
003 The new opening required somelens flair and lighting work to bring it into consitent shape
004 Some shot reordering when the cafe is opened and closed required including revering the video
on 1 shot for continuity
005 New sequence for trip to Burlesque theatre added.
006 at 22:32 some additionaldialogue and shots added to the extended musical number that follows.
007 A shot of Christina Aguilera (CA) added back in from the theartical version for story
advancement
008 reworking of close of musical number at 25:10
009 Musical number at 29:00 expanded and uses deleted shots
010 at 1:04:42 a big CA song required extnsive editing to use all the deleted material while re-
inserting the story points from the theartical version for story advancement
011 at 1:11:26 a simialr approach for another a big CA song required extensive editing to use all
the deleted material while re-inserting the story points from the theartical version for story
advancement including some very fiddly audio work for ambien sounds
012 at 1:25:36 alan cummings deleted song is re-enstated ...why would you cast someone like him and
drop his big scene!!!!
013 Film plays out as per the theatrical version from here bar a very nifty creit insertion (which
I think is seamless) in the end credit roll at :2:03:15

Anything that means more Alan Cumming is a winner in my book. Will be looking forward to this.

Question. Is this a True Fanedit or an Extended Edition? From what I read in your OP it looks like an EE, but you posted it in TF.

I think thiscrosses in toTrue ...WHY...Dreamgirls I just droped in the extra material. Here I creaed a complete new sequence for the journey to the club intercutting with a clean version of chroeography which was originally used for the theatrical opening but whih I took unused shots and dropped intothere. I also hadto remove some cheesy lines and re-insert elements from the theatrical version into the deleted extended "too sexy for a PG 13" rating back in and did so again sensitive to cheese. The un-cut unsed opening also needed some post production work to grade it and add the stylsti flairs etc that were missin plus re-ordering of some shots a ialogue which elimiated continuity and logic issues with the opening that was used.
I can live with it in Extended but it did need more than the "drop the sequences " back in....

Happy to conced though....it is only a musical..

Reading over your description again, I can see how it's a True as opposed to an EE.

For reference, here is the critera for EEs:

boon23 said:

What criteria must an EXTENDED EDITION meet to be acceptable for FE:
1: additional scenes have to be included, coming either from a different movie or from other footage, like deleted scenes, trailer, teasers, etc.
2: simply combining episodes or movies is not enough. If all your EE does is to spare the audience from switching DVDs, then we will not host info on it.
3: using alternate scenes, which replace the regular ones plotwise (like an alternate ending) still counts as extended edition.
4: more than one scene needs to be added or the one scene has to be significant.
5: the staff of FE decides if something is accurate as EE or not.
6: since we are a website about fanedited movies, an EE must have a minimum length of 15 minutes.

This rule was created to be more safely when it comes to copyright issues. Studios see fanedits as fanfilm efforts, so our versions need to be as different from the original as possible.

If you spot a fanedit on FE that does not match the above criteria but is declared an EE, report it to a staff member please for further examination.

For comparison, here is what a TrueFanedit is:

What criteria must a TRUE FANEDIT meet to be acceptable for FE:
1: a faneditor must have altered several scenes in a movie. The changes need to have a purpose.
2: the changes must be significant. The difference to the original has to be clearly spottable.
3: the changes need to be clearly explained in the FE info.
4: the staff of FE decides if something is accurate as TF or not.
5: since we are a website about fanedited movies, a TF must have a minimum length of 15 minutes.

what we do not allow (change from October 22 2008):
1. fanedits that combine movies or TV episodes need to contain more and obvious changes than just a cut ending of the first and a cut beginning of the 2nd.
2. fanedits that don't change either: the atmosphere, the plot or the meaning of the movie.

Please. MAKE. THAT.

Anyone actually manage to DL this? Having major problems with JD.

I downloaded it when it first became available. I PM'd you the direct links for it, which I got using http://dcrypt.it/

I'll give that a try when I get home.

I've never quite figured out how to use that site.

In any case it seems a matter of the links being actually dead, and not just JD not properly working.
