Great stuff Fr Merrin.

 

Thanks for going to the trouble to get a copy in his hands. It seems the disc I posted to the BBC never got to him!

[spicediver]

Well the screening certainly went ahead and the Q &A with Brad Dourif was filmed.

 

It took some time for the promoters to track down the person who filmed it – this Convention was massively busy and had 5000+ attendess over the weekend.

 

My contact has told me that this person has 20+ hours of Con footage to wade through and edit, so I just have to wait until they up it to Youtube.

 

I'll post it here if/when it appears!

Thankyou both, glad you enjoyed it.  🙂

The general response has been great. I'm chuffed the edit has gone down so well with both fans and the curious. Blatty had a great original story to tell, I hope I've done it some justice.

Jagged – I actually made no attempt to restore the deleted morphing head shot.

As I'm sure you know, that shot is part of the over-the-top exorcism and post-exorcism story elements added to Exorcist III.

Some individual shots from the Exorcist III climax I did find useful, of course. But even in isolation I found the tone of that head-morphing shot inappropriate, considering that I was trying to re-imagine the original, low-key final scene for Legion that Blatty and others haved described.

The website won't let me resigter. Any other ways for me to see it/access it. I would really like too.

Hi epicwin,

Can you please send me a PM with a detailed description of the error and I'll pass on to the site Admin?

You can also try another site http://www.fanedit.info – you will need the free file management progrom Jdownloader installed first.

***WARNING: SPPOILERS***

 

Father Merrin and Cxx,

Thanks for the reviews guys and I'm really glad you enjoyed it. 

It seems a common thread on what *didn't* work is my adding dream footage to Dourif's “I have dreams of a rose…” line of dialogue while in his cell. I now think you and others are correct: its unnecessary and possibly detracts from the scene. In fact, I'm going to restore that scene to its original state and replace the current edit.

Cxx – I'm surprised you didn't get the possesed patient/nurse's demise – the 2nd cop shoots her! Admitedly there's no cutway shot of him reaching for his gun, because no footage was available. It was the best I could do. There *is* a shot of Kindermans wife screaming and then covering her ears (it's a reversed shot – originally it was: hands on ears, hands off ears and scream). I inserted this a split-second before the shooting to suggest she's anticipatating it.

As to what happened in Blatty's directors cut, I can think of no other logical conclusion to that attack scene other than the nurse's non-fatal shooting. There would be no exorcist distracting the Gemini, and there would be no death of his father to distract/kill him either. The suplot about his father and its link to the Gemini's death is entirely absent from the shooting script – it has to be, otherwise Kinderman's execution ending makes no sense. It only exists in Blatty's 1st screenplay adaption of the novel and that version of the script was never greenlit by any studio.

cheers, SD.

I can go through my archives and scan it for you if you like (I run the website you linked to).

Thanks Ryan, that'd be great.

 

It's the wide, front-on shot that I'm after

 

Could you please upload the .bmp file/s to Mediafire or Rapidshare or a webserver and then PM me the link?  ta.

Hi Guys,

Would anyone here by chance have, or would know anyone who does have, a high quality, uncompressed image file of this deleted “headless priest” shot from Exorcist III that appeared in the French promo material?

http://legion.theninthconfiguration.com/rare/french_promo/french_promo_1.jpg

By uncompressed I mean an original scan saved in .bmp or similar format.

Because its essentially a still shot, I can make it work as a quick video shot if I have a slightly higher quality scan. I want to re-edit the confessional murder sequence from Exorcist III and at least see how it looks. If it works, it will make the final cut.

Help or leads appreciated.  🙂

Thanks.

BTW, it's not March 11, it's March 2011. I won't be setting an exact date but it will be out in that month.
