Two Fan Edits Released For June-July (One Old and One New) and Other Updates

 So for June-July, I have released two edits. One is an old edit originally made in 2021 before being revisited in 2022, and the other being a new one as a fan edit request.

The first edit is Titanic II: Rescored which predates my After Last Season edit being finished in September 2021. I later revisited in 2022 after the Snowpiercer edit to give it some updates, but either way, this edit is older than my fan editor name itself. I decided to post it since I feel more confident on what I would like to share and I didn't want it to go to waste sitting in the folder collecting dust. So with that, Titanic II: Rescored will give some insight into where I was as an editor 4 years ago.

The second edit is based on a request. This is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Great Adventure Edition (with its edit name being taken from the tagline of Raiders of the Lost Ark). It's an edit that cuts down gameplay footage to get a runtime that's manageable for those that want to enjoy the story. The edit actually took a little longer to make since I put my edits on pause, but at least it's completed. It was meant to be a quick edit to do, but it did sort of take a lot longer than it did.

Lastly, some additional updates. I'm currently returning to taking a break from doing edits. However, work on the Garfield and Wonderpark edits may resume later this year although the time frame isn't certain. As stated, the Garfield edit will take priority since it's high demand. One important thing to mention is that after I finish the Garfield edit, I will no longer be taking fan edit requests since I want to focus on my own ideas as I have some for future edits. Ideas I have thrown around for future edits includes the films Twisters (2024) and The Electric State (2025). It's not certain when they will come to fruitition, but these are ideas I have. So with that, after the Garfield edit, I will not be taking fan edit requests.

Firemerk Status

So as of this post, the Firemerk Studios website is currently having issues. The videos have been restriced and Firemerk hasn't returned to address the issues nor have there been any updates. With that, my edits on that site are currently unavailable. These include the following:

- Snowpiercer: The Willy Wonka Cut

- Chicken Little and the War of the Worlds

- Jurassic Ice Age

- 2001: A Space Odyssey - The Interstellar Rescore

If you want to watch them, you will have to go into the fan editing tab and in their respective pages, they will have the links. It's highly recommended that you own a physical copy of the original work for access. For now, ignore the Firemerk links until the site is back up in shape.

An Update On My Fan Edits

At the moment there are two fan edits in development: The Garfield Movie: The Lorenzo Music Cut and Wonderland (A Ghibli-Inspired Edit of the 2019 film Wonder Park). I was initially hoping to finish these two by the end of this year, but however, my personal life has started to become busy again (College and potentially work) which will result in them to be delayed. 

My hope is to resume work on the edits when I have the chance to. While I can't make promises on the hopes for them to be completed and released, I'm aiming for a 2026 release (once again, I can't guarantee a specific release date, but this is time frame I hope for a release). The Garfield Movie edit will have priority to be finished first when I pick back up in editing.

For now, there will be a pause in the development of these edits.

Home Alone: The 'Kevin Alone' Cut is now out

 The edit is now available. It can be found on the fan edits tab. Once you watch it, feel free to give it a review on MRDb.

Internet Archive is Back Up

Good news, the Internet Archive is back up and fan edits that are linked to their can be accessed once again.

Internet Archive Data Breach Concerns and Update

So recently, Archive.org has gotten hacked which saw the site going down for the time being. This also means that some of my fan edits that are on the Internet Archive won't be accessible. I have thought about another MEGA or Google Drive account to host these edits somewhere in the scenario that something were to happen to the Internet Archive such as this, but I haven't set up anything yet.

Just be careful because the hack has resulted in massive data breach of 31 million users. That also includes my account that I use to log on to that site.
