Original film title: Eyes Wide Shut
Fanedit film title: Eyes Wide Shut - Fidelio Edition
Date Original Film Was Released: 1999
Date Fanedit Was Released: June 2013
Original Runtime:159 minutes
New Runtime: 94 minutes
Time Cut: 65 minutes
Intention:
My intention with this fanedit was to make a version of Eyes Wide Shut that I would want to watch. I wanted to remove all the story elements that I did not like and make a “replacement” version for myself.
Brief Synopsis:
Bill’s motivations are no longer about his need to assert his masculinity and sexual revenge. Instead, Bill is a victim of curiosity, coincidence and circumstance.
Additional Notes:
The source for this edit was the 2-Disc Unrated Special Edition DVDs. The source material has a lot of noise and is quite grainy for a good majority of the movie. This was not “corrected/fixed” for this edit.
Special Thanks: Neglify, Dwight Fry, Rogue-theX, L8wrtr, Captain Khajiit, g1orkatsos, njvc
