Synopsis: "King Arthur (Clive Owen) and the Knights of the Round Table are struggling to retain power amid a shaky political landscape in Antoine Fuqua's thrilling take on the myth of Camelot, which is steeped in gritty realism and the politics of its time. As the Roman Empire falls, everyone is trying to wrest control, but time is marching toward the Dark Ages. Stephen Dillane and Keira Knightley co-star as Merlin and Guinevere, respectively."

Edit summary: Small cuts to reduce the emphasis on the tie-in with the Arthurian mythos, this story doesn't really have any relation and is better without that baggage. Heavy cuts of the dialogue, especially Keira Knightley, making the film a more quiet epic.

Ver6: Remastered
Synopsis: "Three girls are kidnapped by a man with a diagnosed 23 distinct personalities. They must try to escape before the apparent emergence of a frightful new 24th."
Edit summary: This recuts the film to be more of a fluid horror film, removing a bunch of the early psychologist interviews with James McAvoy and also trimming out part of Anya Taylor-Joy's backstory. A few of the hunting backstory scenes are left in to add more depth for her character and tension in the back half of the film, and also to add a few bits of lightness to offset the dark atmosphere.

Synopsis: "A new life awaits 22-year-old Tess when she arrives friendless in New York City and lacking any specific ambitions beyond finding a job. Her charm and observational nature lead to an invitation to train at one of the city's best restaurants."
Edit summary: Removes most/all the romance side-plots, and most of the side plots that revolve around single characters outside the restaurant. This isn't a very structured overarching plot - it's just a good vibes slice of life story about a girl working her way up at a restaurant.

Synopsis: "The Alexandre Dumas novel The Count of Monte Cristo inspires this modern-day drama about a lovely young woman who moves to the Hamptons and charms the pants off her new neighbors -- while plotting their downfall for sins committed against her family."

Edit summary: This slims down the series to make it more about revenge - removing some of the petty squabbles that dominate the middle of the series. It also removes any resurrection of characters - people who die stay dead, and it also rewrites the ending to fit with the original plot. Additionally, a bunch of unnecessary side characters are removed (Patrick, Emily and Jack's mothers, The Initiative people), making the overall plot much more grounded and believable.

Edit summary: This focuses on the Matt Smith version of Doctor Who, turning several seasons of the show into a self-contained mini-series that covers his entire life. Various trims for continuity and quality, as well as a bit of rearranging episodes to make it a cohesive narrative.
Please note, the episodes listed for this edit are named as well, since the episode numbers used vary from source to source depending on if the special episodes are counted separately or not. Two episodes (Cold War, The Rings of Akhaten) are basically untouched besides removing the "next episode" previews, but projects are provided anyway since they're not in the original season order.

Ver7: Remastered
Synopsis: "When the Riddler, a sadistic serial killer, begins murdering key political figures in Gotham, Batman is forced to investigate the city's hidden corruption and question his family's involvement."
Edit summary: This is a heavy re-work of The Batman - removing some of the retcons and combining it with Batman Begins to treat it as a prequel to the Christian Bale films rather than a series reboot. All unmasked face-shots of Robert Pattinson are stripped out and the character is re-cut as the classic playboy archetype rather than the awkward gaunt pale recluse that Pattinson plays.
The new catwoman is stripped out entirely, and the new Jim Gordon is turned into a nameless policeman, keeping the Batman Begins version as The Jim Gordon. The Batman version of Falcone is kept, treating the Batman Begins version as a nameless gangster. Parts of Batman Begins are cut out, rearranged, or recut as well to make the stories to flow together as seamlessly as possible. A few seconds of Dark Knight Rises are used as filler too.
Ver9: Remastered, minor scene adjustments

Synopsis: "A drama set in the glamorous southeast of France. An extremely wealthy banker and his wife, Georgina, lead a luxurious lifestyle. But Georgina's world is turned upside down when he's killed and she begins to discover the details of his secret life."
Edit summary: Cut a few unsatisfying red herrings and trimmed out a bunch of drama with the side characters to give it a smooth plot arc with less manufactured drama and a chill vibe. Dropped the last season and part of the second season to rework the ending, and rescaled the second season to match the aspect ratio of the first season.

Synopsis: "Longtime friends Ben and Alice agree to be each other's plus one at every wedding they're invited to during a busy summer of wedding fever."
Edit summary: Cut a couple small scenes with his dad that lightly set up the plot but interrupt the pace, and the theme of the movie happening at weddings.

Synopsis: "This 1999 remake (the 1968 version starred Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway) showcases debonair Pierce Brosnan as a multibillionaire art connoisseur who, for kicks, would rather steal art objects than buy them. Insurance company troubleshooter Rene Russo stalks him -- all the way to his bedroom! Brosnan and Russo's chemistry is incendiary in this snappy mix of love and larceny."

Edit summary: Removed some gratuitous nudity and sex scenes that interrupt the playful tone of the film.
Ver4: This version recuts the transitions to be a little cleaner

Synopsis: "The world's top assassin, Duncan Vizla, aka The Black Kaiser, is settling into retirement when his former employer marks him as a liability to the firm. Against his will, he finds himself back in the game going head-to-head with an army of younger, faster, ruthless killers who will stop at nothing to have him silenced."
Edit summary: Small trims to remove Mr Blut's lotion scenes, and a bit of his corny dialogue
Ver7: Remastered. While version 5 is a pretty clean and lean edit that fixes the primary issues with this film - Mr Blut lotion scenes and corny dialogue - when I went back to remaster it I wanted to cut a bit deeper - taking out a few of the title cards, a couple flashbacks, and also trimming down the ending fight sequences to be a little less exaggerated and fit the overall brutal but reasonably realistic tone of the film.

Synopsis: ""You're the Worst" centers on two toxic, self-destructive people in a dark twist on the romantic comedy genre."
Edit summary: This edit strips out most of the side character scenes, along with their silly comedy, making a dark comedy even darker. It keeps a bit of the sarcastic and absurd humor, and has some lighthearted moments as well, but is ultimately much less of a comedy and more of a dark drama with comedic moments at times. It takes the essence of what makes the original great and condenses it into a real gut punch without the hollywood sugar.

Synopsis: "A meek Hobbit from the Shire and eight companions set out on a journey to destroy the powerful One Ring and save Middle-earth from the Dark Lord Sauron."
Edit summary: This turns the LOTR series into a 5 episode mini-series, using parts of the Hobbit series as backstory. It's heavily cut, removing Gollum, the mad kings, and some other side plots, focusing on the parallel journeys of the party trying to defeat Sauron.
It maintains the epic pace of the adventure, while trimming enough content that the slower than normal speed of the narrative doesn't seem to drag, especially when repackaged into more digestible hour segments at natural stopping points in story.

Edit summary: Reduces the impact of the illness, trims much of the daughter and all of her boyfriend, and makes cuts to the storylines to remove any soap opera elements and make it a political drama rather than a drama that has politics.

Synopsis: "Set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past, explore a world in which every human appetite can be indulged without consequence."
Edit summary: Adjusts the opening to give a truer sense of the show, rather than starting out as a western for most of the first episode. Makes the storylines, especially in the second season, less fragmented. Reduces the emphasis on Dolores and puts her on equal footing with Maeve and other main characters. Removes most of the third season with the GTA plot and uses select scenes with Maeve and Dolores to wrap up the story, changing the ending substantially.
