Ive Always Felt that Both are the Exorcist, Merrin is The Exorcist there to Perform the Exorcism, In a Sense the Torch is Passed From Merrin to Karras, Merrin Dies, Karras Finaly Excepting that he is dealing with the Devil, Becomes The Exorcist By Getting Rid of The Demon, The Acts of both Merrin and Karras Result in a Certain Unity.
I think it’s Legitamit that Merrin is “THE EXORCIST”, But by the end, Karras has assumed the role and become “THE EXORCIST”
It may sound cheesy but I think a good example would be “THE MASK OF ZORRO”
When I first saw this picture in Fangoria, I was thinking and hopeing that Cheche would actually become this during his possession.
this is my Variation, Please forgive the jittery audio problem.
The last shot of Merrin is obviously from the beginning, there is Dust on his face, In My Cut of the Movie, the Pazuzu Statue is blown up and there is Dust, thats my Logic on why he would have it on his face in the closeup.
Motiono by hatter76 – Upload videosSplended Work, absolutely Splended.
I liked the Howdy shot, I have a really quick shot of Pazuzu in my version rite
before merrin turns to find Cheche.The Scene with with the solidiers marching is about like mine.
I admit I Should have been useing the deleted scenes, but A few of them Seemd so damn difficult to put in and have it fit correctly.
Ironicly The Shot of Merrin Kissing the Crucifix is the way I was trying to get it, But I got so impatiant I sat that aside.
I gotta admit Im a bit Jealous 🙂
I really wanted to see this on the big screen, the closest it was playing was in Fort Worth Texas, thats a state away from me, so it wasn’t in the cards.
I finally saw it in august on a really bad bootleg, But I Loved it despite the fact the I couldn’t see much because of the bad Quality.Ultimately Im glad that this Film Exists
Despite it being Unfinished.
I Never wanted to see it be a Horror Film, at least no more than Exorcist 3, Yes I wanted a creepy Movie, But I really Wanted to see Something differn’t from all the Horror Movies being Done, And as Prequels to Movies were coming out, I was always dissapointed wit the fact that none of them really took the idea of being a prequel seriously, they all had refrences to the Film they were a Prequel to, I won’t even go into ETB.But Dominion was differn’t, It’s an unconventional Prequel, it Dosent handcuff itself to the Exorcist, It took the Idea seriously that story wise the Exorcist hasn’t happend yet, So theres not a shit load of refrences to the Original, It’t really does just play straight, Dosent say Hey do you see a Connection to the Original.
My Version However does have refrences, But the most obvious is of Course the Howdy Flashes, Ive added afew more, but tried to work them in a way that feels Natural with whats going on.
I have to Admit there are no Tubular bells in my version, I felt that should stay with the Original Film, However I did want Some sort of sound that was Exorcist-Like, So the sound ive used is based off of the very first sound were here during the opening logos, we then here it when Merrin is in Iraq, then arriveing at the House, this sound I always associated with Merrin and the Demon, So that became my bases for Merrins theme in Dominion, atleast during the scenes when He senses or feels something Evil so to speak.
Im still working on it but the pace has been slowing down, I feel bad about that, but at the same Time im trying Finish it right.
it suprises me how fast some Fan Cuts are made, yet Im taking forever,But As Ive always said Im not a Pro, it won’t be perfect, but it will be the best that I can do with what I have to work with.Yes I am still working on it, Ive had some other things going on lately, had another project I was trying to work on at the same time. But Im defenitly still working on it
I think it’s actually a very interesting Idea, I had Breifly thought of Opening Dominion with The dig in Iraq from the Exorcist, and have it all be a flashback, then at the end When Merrin walks into the Dust, have it turn into Fog, and We see Merrin Ariveing in GeorgeTown.
But I ultimately Didn’t do it because I Wanted to Try and Make Dominion A more complete Film Stand alone film but conected to the Exorcist.I Sometimes Think About Trying to re-Edit Exorcist 3, and Have the Movie Open with some of Karras’s scenes from the first movie, Most importantly the scene where he uses the tape recorder, The Demon Telling him that An Exorcism would bring them together.
But When Im Done With my Cut of Dominion, Im “Done”.
I like the Artwork you did.
