Synopsis:
What is there to improve in Fellowship of the Ring? Not that much to be honest. But some things are better in the theatrical and now used for this Precious Edition.
Intentions:
I will edit with trilogy with this goal in mind: To create the best experience and the definitive version for first time viewers, as well as people who already have seen the originals and the extended cuts.
Book accuracy is not as important as keeping the film cinematically correct. Every cut is invicible, unless you're extremely familiair with the originals.
Change List:
- Theatrical bluray colorgrade for the entire thing. Courtesy of Dre and Drawlin.
- Use the theatrical version of Isildur and the Ring. The extended edition shows the Ring can turn you invisible, which ruins Bilbo's birthday party.
- I made a mixture of the theatrical dialogue in the introduction of Frodo and Gandalf.
This means some of the dialogue from the extended was cut, to keep continuity. It's the best of both worlds.
We now have Gandalf giving the information about the outside world, which is just better.
- Cut most of Bilbo frantically searching for the Ring. We want to keep the ring a surprise.
