Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, Tauntauns and Nerf Herders,
We have some some very exciting news: Stars Wars Uncut is finished!
Utilizing the Jedi powers of some very talented editors and sound mixers over the last few months, the full recreation of Star Wars: A New Hope has been recut and reedited with all your incredible 15 second scenes – and it’s even better than we could have dreamed. Over the next few days we’ll be premiering five minutes of Star Wars: Uncut for everyone to get a little taste of our ground-breaking project. We think you’re going to like it so stay tuned!
In celebration of the final film (and the motivating factor to finish it!), Star Wars: Uncut has been officially selected into CPH: PIX, a Copenhagen film festival in, you guessed it, Copenhagen! Annelise, one of our Jedi designers, and Casey will be traveling to the festival next weekend for the universal premiere of the film. We’ll be updating the blog with news of our travels and possible links to an interview we have setup with a Denmark national television station and several uncut participants from Denmark.
In other, almost equally exciting news, we are also almost finished with a brand new design for the Starwarsuncut.com. This new design will allow to vote for your favorite scenes, easily watch the entire movie any way you want, and much more. It will also be the foundation of our future uncut films (can you say Empire?!?).
We want to thank EVERYONE who has helped bring this project to life: from the scene creators, to the site designers, sound and film editors, and everyone else who has participated in Star Wars: Uncut – we could not have done it without you.
Stay tuned for the premiere of the Star Wars: Uncut teaser and prepare yourself for a big announcement of our next project that is currently in the works.
UPDATE: Watch the teaser!
Cheers,
Casey and the Uncut Team
