I hate to say it but the entire second Hynosis scene has been taken out. The Merrin footage is just used as flashback sequences at the beginning, like in the original. So the only “synchronizer” scene is the one where they see Merrin in Regan’s room. Father Lamont going to Africa has also been changed a bit. He IS looking for the possessed boy, but this happens about 3 years after Merrin’s death. It picks up with him in Africa right after the Merrin flashbacks are done. After Merrin is shown exorcising the boy, it fades out to show shots of Rome. Lamont is talking to the Cardinal about going to Africa, to try and find the boy who was possessed. When he gets in Africa to do so, he does not find Kokumo. This establishes WHY he lost his faith. His faith in Father Merrin. And his faith in himself.
The next scene is where Lamont is walking up the steps in “South America” to perform the exorcism on the girl. He gets nervous and fails in the attempt. This is because he has no faith.
Cut to Linda Blair, practicing her tap dancing.
Hey guys. I just finished the first half of the re-edit. It looks great so far! So much more tense and in the style of the original. I even added some shots of the demon’s face, in quick cuts, when Blair is sleeping and supposedly having a bad dream. It’s like she’s seeing the face again. I also added some more religous stuff to it, like shots of a cross hanging on Regan’s bedroom wall.
There is a new scene where Father Dyer, from the first movie, is shown gazing at Ft. Karras’s tomstone, then it shows a quick shot when he smashes out the window. This establishes that Damien has not been forgotten, and that he is still a very important character.
I thought about even showing George C. Scott’s character looking at Damien’s picture, this would keep people connected with the character until Legion.
You will love my new ending! It is so surprising and shocking. It’s like the entire movie you think one thing, and then BAM! It also helps to connect with The Exorcist III.
If this movie works, The Exorcist, The Exorcist II, and The Exorcist III will be a TRUE trilogy of films.
Was this based on the movie “The Beginning” or does it just have the same title with Dominion’s story?
Hey MIKE, do you think there is any way to see a DOMINION Trailer on the internet. I do not have Windows Media PLayer but YouTube or Quicktime would work fine.
Great. How long does it usually take. I am so excited to see it and am so grateful that you would do this for me.
My local video store does not have the movie. It’s Movie Gallery, they ain’t got nothing anymore. But I do love the trailers you posted, especially the teaser. It was very tense and exciting.
Both scenes are really corny. The pluses of the witch doctor scene: 1. The spikes Lamont has to walk across. That’s cool and you cringe when he hits them. 2. How to destroy the evil Regan is explained more.
Minuses: 1. Spitting a leopard. WTF?!?Scientist: I want to cut out all the locust stuff so this scene really does me no good.
Any other thoughts.
