Synopsis:
Jumper was a fairly forgettable movie, I've cut out most of the subplots, added a few deleted scenes, added new music, and tightened up almost every scene.
Intentions:
To take a forgettable film (Jumper) and turn it into something somewhat entertaining by cutting it up scene by scene and removing all of the pointless filler while giving it emotional heft by adding good music.
Change List:
Overall Changes: - Removed mother subplot, kept her as a reveal for a bitter-sweet ending - Rescored most of the movie - Tightened up and re-arranged the action sequences - Gave closure to Samuel L. Jackson's character Roland - Removed all redundant narrator/voice-over moments Other Changes worth noting: - New opening and title sequence - Shortened origin story sequence to roughly 7 minutes - New Montage after the origin story sequence - Removed most course language as well as the sex scene - Removed as much bad CGI from the climax as possible - Inserted a few deleted scenes - Added faneditor and special thanks to credits.
Additional Notes:
I used the free version of Lightworks, it is probably the best free editor out there, highly recommended.
