VER 2
Type: True fan edit
What is this about: To combine the two part episode "The Inheritors" from the Outer limits tv series back into the TV movie it should have been
Original film name: The Outer limits, The Inheritors parts 1 and 2
Original date: 1964
Original runtime: 102mins
New runtime 86 mins
Plot Without spoiling too much: After being shot in the head, a soldier gains a genius i.q. and begins working fervently towards a mysterious scientific goal.
Cuts added/removed 12 mins had to be cut in order for this to work. I also had to alter the opening credit narration so it long no longer mentions the outer limits being only 1 hour. I also had to alter the title so it only says "the inheritors" without the "part 1" underneath it.
By removing some of the fluff we now have a much tighter, and faster paced version without sacrificing the classic merit from the show
*** I had to leave in one roughly 30 second recap that appears towards the middle for editing reasons
My thoughts: I always enjoyed the old 1960's Outer Limits Tv show. A somewhat competitor for the Twillight Zone, the Outer Limits differed in that each episode was roughly 50 mins and dealt mostly with Beings from outer space. Upon watching the Inheritors again (a while back), it proved that despite many saying the show was already on a downward spiral when this episode aired, that it still had much good left in it and reminds you of why it was praised to begin with.
other info I should mention that this also stars a young Robert Duvall.
closing If you want to watch a good, classic and original science fiction film from the old days when they knew how to make this type of genre properly, you will not be let down with this tv movie I present for you.

Cover art is always welcome!
Tech 4:3 since this is what the original was shot in (full frame, tv ratio)
