Over a year ago, I started the idea of making the X-Files mythology episodes into feature length films to support FIGHT THE FUTURE (project idea here). Well, after a year of work on this, the first movie is done. This is about the start of the X-Files. I made this into widescreen to give it more of a theatrical feel, so I've individually reframed almost every shot to accomplish this. 5 episodes were included this. I've also included a variety of external audio sources, including additional score, music, and sound effects. More edits are likely to follow in the future.
Original film name: X-Files: The Complete First Season
New film name: X-Files - Exordium
Film studio name: Twentieth Century Fox
Edit crew name: ThrowgnCpr
Date Original Film Was Released: 1993
Date Edit Was Released: September 11, 2008
Original Runtime: ~227 minutes
New Runtime: 127 minutes
Episodes Included: pilot, Deep Throat, Fallen Angel, Tooms, The Erlenmeyer Flask
Cuts removed/added/extended :
* added THX style FAN logo intro
* added Fox Fanfare intro
* added intro credits
* reframed from 4:3 fullscreen to 1.85:1 (16:9) widescreen
* cut Scully walking into FBI headquarters
* cut airplane scene
* cut some dialogue in car referencing medical examiner as possible suspect
* cut "I'm wired" line by Mulder
* removed some commercial fades
* cut confrontation at cemetery
* cut discussion of "father knowing about sons involvement in abductions" with Tracy at diner
* cut father/son reunion
* added Smoking Man in warehouse over dialogue from Mulder to phone conversation to heighten tension and aid transition
* cut credits to pilot
* cut theme intro to 'Deep Throat' episode
* integrated intro to 'Fallen Angel' before Mulder & Scully pnone call and intro of 'Deep Throat'
* removed reference to crash happening in Wisconsin
* some panning and reframing to Mulder meeting Scully in bar - to remove episode credits
* lots of cropping/panning/editing to Mulder & Scully case discussion in bar - to remove episode credits
* cut crazy fly-fisherman
* added some nature sound effects & score over some cuts during Scully talking outside to smooth audio transition
* cut waitresses line "Quiet like a hummingbird" - This makes no sense. Hummingbirds are VERY vocal.
* cut kids from film. While they were good characters, they really served no purpose for this edit
* completely rebuilt audio with score and sound effects for night helocopter chase to accomodate loss of kids
* removed more obnoxious commercial fades
* cut reference to kids in hotel conversation
* cut kids leading mulder through fence. Mulder is not guided. He explores on his own.
* did I mention about removing commercial fades???
* had to cut some dialogue of Scully holding agent at gunpoint to remove kids from scene
* reworked end of Deep Throat (meeting between Mulder & Deep Throat at track) a bit
* trimmed some of Mulder's dialogue from final meeting with Deep Throat (from Deep Throat episode).
* cut credits to"Deep Throat"
* cut intro credits to"Erlenmeyer Flask"
* lots of reframing to remove credits
* cut all local police scenes, and the search for the missing suspect
* cut actual murder scene of Dr. Berube
* arrgggggg, begone ye worthless commercial fades
* removed corny dialogue between Scully & Mulder about trust and faith.
* removed reference to Deep Throat meeting Scully before
* cut final phone call between Mulder & Scully. There is no talk now of shutting down the X-Files. It would have been way too soon to all happen (opening & closing) in 1 movie.
* removed end credits to Erlenmeyer Flask
* custom end credits
* many many more little cuts that aren't listed. I probably forgot a lot
