Thanks for your input Mike, I spent about a dy and a half, doing the first 5 minutes, but it’s taken so long because ive been experimenting with differn’t approches and differnt video files, but now things should be going alot faster, I hope to have at least 30 to 45 minutes done by the end of the weekend, It’s been A Royal pain in the ass, but it is a labor of Love, I am going for a more gritty look in a few scenes, but that is mostly to give a little more atmosphere, I know there will be those who won’t like my version, and there will also be those who will, The movie is an individual, so I use that as ainsperation to make it somewhat differnt than the original, but from a story standpoint I wnat this to Complete the mythology.
Some people Might think im taking a harlin approach, but All I can say Is going to be The best that I can do, I would love to do more, but I just don’t have the software, It’s also taking a while to do because Im really pushing for dvd quality picture and sound, but I still believe it will be a 9.5 at best 8.5 at worst, at the moment the special features and artwork are the last thing on my mind, but If anyone wants to post concepts for artwork and a menue screen, it will be greatly appriciated, I can really use the inspiration.
As far as the Title is concernd, you never know maybe when Im finished and I look at it as a whole, I might Alter that title for you, We just have to see, I always pictured a trilogy,
DOMINION, THE EXORCIST, LEGION.

I will try to have some more screenshots in the next few days.

I’m actually very excited and intrigued by this stills preview you’ve just posted. It feels even more like the 1973 film, based on the colors. My only complaint — and it’s very minor, though I feel quite strongly about it nonetheless — is the title. THE DOMINION sounds more complete and organically tied to THE EXORCIST, than does the plain DOMINION.

THE DOMINION. THE EXORCIST; the “THE” before DOMINION is more specific. Without it, it could be a Star Trek episode or something. I know, I realize it isn’t such, but it just doesn’t hold the weight that “The Dominion” does; Just “Dominion”… it’s too vague.

Merrin’s journey… THE DOMINION. Merrin’s final battle with the Enemy… the film: THE EXORCIST.

THE DOMINION

THE EXORCIST

I dunno, I might be too picky. Please forgive me. You’ve done and will have done so much for us when your re-edit is finished. 🙂 I will say no more of this; I don’t wish to be a pest. 🙂

Your pal,

M.I.K.E.

DOMINION. THE EXORCIST. …

SPECIAL REQUEST:

Please change Cheche-demon’s eyes to the classic yellow-red of the original film and Exorcist III. The red may just be less cool, you see. 😉

THANKS!!!!!

And at the least, please do a test image and post it here. Please. 🙂

M.I.K.E.

[hatter76]

are you talking about in the actual movie or artwork

[ManInKhakiExorcist]

Both, if you’re up to it. Otherwise, either. 🙂 Seriously, I’m very flexible. 😉

Thanks, in any event (even if you decline!)! 🙂

M.I.K.E.

[hatter76]

it’s something I really don’t have the software to do.

[ManInKhakiExorcist]

No worries, Hatty. Thanks anyway, though. 🙂

I thought I should give some sort of update on the re-edit, things are moving along slowly but surely Im still in the first 45 minutes, and the last half hour will be the most chaotic to do. It ocurred to me that The original release date I had herd of for this movie was July 18th 2003, that was nearly 3 years ago, even tho I hope to have it done earlier, I am Making July 18th 2006, the date that it will be availible at the latest.

[hatter76]

now still in the first hour of the movie but progress is being made, and even though im nowhere near the exorcism yt I have finished an fx shot, and im posting a screenshot of it, but it is a spoiler, so if if you dont want to be spoiled dont look

Hatty, the eyes look great; much closer to what the original film and the (good) sequel had. 🙂

As for the lightning, I’m afraid it makes me think of the Emperor in Star Wars. 😮 To me, unless the lightning serves the story (ie.Merrin gets zapped by it, and you’d have to figure out how to make him convulse in pain to some extent), it’s very distracting. The eyes, however, are a cosmetic change to further tie this to the original, so my hats off to you there. Note: Cheche should have THOSE EYES whenever in the film he had the red eyes; the rest of his scenes need his normal eyes. 🙂

Incidentally, and ironically, do you know where George Lucas got the red-yellow eyes of his Darksiders? Guess. :O Too close to be an accident. 🙂

***** BY THE WAY: special request! *****

Father Francis’ tree scene, can you up the blood a bit? Arrows of any kind ought have left blood dripping much further down, at the minimum. Then again, maybe Francis had thick blood, high cholestorol or something. It just looks bizarre. He should be bleeding all over, not just a few, short trickles. WORD.

M.I.K.E.

[hatter76]

I agree about the lightning Ive had second thoughts about it, but it’s not a done deal, these are not as easy as some would think because I did them frame by frame, the way older movies were done but of course with up to date tools, and as I said Im not even close to the exorcism yet, so there is room for refinement, I did inted Merrin to get A bit of a “Zap” Arond the area of his heart Hint-hint, If I had the right software theres so much I could do, but About all I could do for the eyes are a little flash, in any case don’t worry to much Im Not gonna if something really looks like shit, then theres no way Im having it in

[Justin]

Sorry, but I think that looks incredibly cheesy and laughable. The lightning doesn’t make sense (and just isn’t needed at all – too Exorcist III) and the eyes are just blah. It all looks too fake, and will take away from the exorcism rather than adding anything.
