New True Fanedit

The new release by steFANedit is named Tools and is a fanedit of the 2004 movie Toolbox Murders with some scenes of the 1977 movie "The Toolbox Murders"

In 1977 a series of nasty murders are carried out at the Lusman Arms, an old apartment building in Hollywood. The perpetrator is never apprehended.
27 years later a young couple moves in under ongoing renovations. And what seemed to be just an old apartment building turns out to be something much worse. There is something evil living deep inside the building itself... something that needs to keep killing to stay alive.

steFANedit: "The original Toolbox Murders is pretty bad, only the kills are decent. The remake on the other hand has some really good stuff going on.
What I set out to do was to keep the killing spree from the original and use it as an intro to the remake. The kills have been recut, now with less misogyny, less bad acting and no masturbation.
I then tried to reshape the remake so it builds on the, now, 1977 section. I’ve gotten rid of dull moments and some scenes have been rearranged in order to tell the story in a, hopefully, more interesting way. Less bullshit more to the point with more kills. Giving everyone what they want.

JetSetWilly has released Mission to Mars Re-Explored! From the editor:

"The cuts made makes the mission move faster, and gives it more urgency. Nearly all the romance has been removed, which means one scene loses it's impact, but it it's a small trade off. And, Phil doesn't sound like an arse with his sarcastic lines anymore!! All in all, a more to the point movie."

Rome: Decimated, by Brumous, condenses season 1 of Rome to focus on a few core story lines, trim episodic digressions, and make a fanedit paced and structured like a movie. The story focuses on two soldiers, Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus, and their general, Julius Caesar.


Brumous:
"Rome: Decimated focuses on Titus Pullo, a cheerful, impulsive foot-soldier in the Roman army. He’s my favorite character and the heart of the series, really. And it has some of the story of his commanding officer Lucius Vorenus, a middle-class, moralistic prig, and some of the war between Julius Caesar and the Senate, which everyone is caught up in.
As great as it is, the original series has a lot of soap opera, and Rome: Decimated aims to scrub a lot of that out. The romantic intrigue, marriages, affairs, etc are trimmed. Gratuitous sex and torture scenes are cut. Many of the major characters in the series are reduced to bit parts. There’s also many scenes that are very on the nose, as if the producers are shouting “see how weird and cruel and pagan the people were in ancient times!” Material like that can be a lot more subtle and folded into the background."

Marvel Origins: Avengers Part 2 is the second part of juice4z0's fanedit project combining the pre-Avengers movies to tell the stories of our (super) heroes before they all fight together.

juice4z0:
"My plan for this edit was to take the avenger movies and tell them side by side. To tell one organic story. This however does cause a few issues. The main being that the time of day does not always match. For example the fight that takes place in Thor it's Day and night in Iron man 2 and Hulk. With that being said that's the only major issue. Agent Coulson has been cut from scenes of Iron Man 2 due to the fact he is New Mexico at the time.

So this edit isn't exactly done chronologically but more told at the same time."

Longtime contributor to the FE.org community, Dwight Fry releases his first fanedit: Batman: Descent into Mystery! This is 1989 Batman minus the Bruce Wayne-Vicki Vale romance subplot, and closer in tone and facts to the original comic books.

From Dwight Fry:
"I've always considered that the romance between Bruce Wayne as depicted in this movie (a reclusive, asocial, insecure-acting creep) and Vicki Vale, babe reporter, to be completely unbelievable and a result of Hollywood forcing a love story into every single movie. Also, the whole character of Vicki is nothing more than a rather annoying damsel in distress shrieking her way into Joker's traps only to get Batman to save her. This edit cuts back the character and removes the romance to center in the stories of Batman and Joker. Along the way, pointless deviations from the source have been fixed."
