Synopsis:

After receiving a message from a dead colleague, 007 undertakes a mission that leads to a discovery that will change everything: the many tentacled organization known as Spectre.

Intentions:

I generally liked Spectre, but that's not to say it was a perfect film. My goal was to trim down dialogue that was spoon-feeding information to the audience that seemed more than obvious, as well as a few gags that either fell flat or interrupted the flow of action.

Change List:

- Cut "The dead are alive" at the beginning. - New theme song - "Bachelorette" by Bjork. - Trimmed Bond's meeting with M, removing references to ending the Double-O program. We dealt with that in Skyfall, remember? - Trimmed the scene with Moneypenny in Bond's flat. - Cut Bond telling Lucia he does "life insurance" at Sciarra's funeral. - Cut Lucia telling Bond not to go to the Spectre meeting. - Cut Bond flipping the "atmosphere" button during the car chase. - Cut the old man slowing Bond down during the car chase. - Cut the crows in Mr White's house. - Cut Mr White telling Bond to "make it quick" and Bond telling him to go upstairs. - Cut C calling the Double-O program "prehistoric." - Cut Hinx visting White's house. How he found Bond and Madeleine is nothing that can't be figured out later. - Cut Bond asking Madeleine about her work history. - Cut Bond telling Madeleine he "didn't have to" kill her father. - Cut Bond telling Madeleine her life is in danger. - Cut Madeleine asking her captors if any of them can speak. - Cut Madeleine telling Bond and Q that L'American is a place. We see that pretty soon after. - Cut Madelein telling Bond it's ironic he sent him to her. - Cut Madeleine saying she sees two Bonds. - Trimmed M and C talking after Nine Eyes is approved to remove references to ending the Double-O program. - Cut Bond observing that he doesn't need to teach Madeleine anything about weapons. - Cut Madeleine's line about what to do next pre-happy-to-be-alive-sex. - Cut Bond saying they may have a long wait. - Cut Bond discussing the Rolls Royce. - Cut Madeleine telling Bond she's scared. - Cut Oberhauser telling Bond and Madeleine they can touch the meteorite. ,shudders, - Cut Oberhauser mentioning the death of the Double-O program. - Cut Bond and Oberhauser's exchange about death and prespective. - Cut M's speech about the fates of glass and spies. - Cut Oberhauser saying he's the "author of all [Bond's] pain." - Cut Madeleine telling Bond she loves him during the torture scene. - Cut M telling Bond it's "good to have [him] back." Uhhh...he never quit. - Cut Bond confirming the Madeleine is saying goodbye right before the big finale. - Cut C telling M and Q they're out of a job. - Cut M saying that he knows what C stands for. Let's let the original assumption stand (since it's not far off). - Trimmed hesitation at letting M onto the bridge. - Cut Oberhauser telling Bond to finish him. - Cut the first part of Bond's line about having something better to do. - Added custom title at end.

Additional Notes:

By removing unnecessary dialogue and replacing the opening credits song, Spectre [Redacted] aims to create a version of 007's twenty-fourth mission that doesn't treat the audience as clueless and removes plot threads already resolved in Skyfall.
