Synopsis:

A strange black entity from another world bonds with Peter Parker and causes inner turmoil as he contends with new villains, temptations, and revenge. This edit combines the Theatrical and somewhat newly released Editor's Cut as well as some shots from the trailers to create the longest possible cut of Spider-Man 3.

Intentions:

I wanted to create the illusive "Spider-Man 3.1" cut that fans had been clawing at for years, but since I don't have all the available scenes, this is simply the longest cut with all released deleted scenes.

Change List:

Changes from the Editor's Cut to the Hybrid Cut - Added 2 new shots of the Symbiote crawling up Peter's chest and creating the new symbol. The 2 shots have vastly different VFX, so a close up of Peter has been used to space these two shots apart - Added an alternate ending to the scene of Peter taking the Black Suit off for the first time. Instead of looking down at it and up, and deciding to take it off, he looks back up and sees a quick flash of a Proto-Venom in his reflection before ripping his shirt off - Reinstated Peter apologising to Mr Ditkovitch and him giving Peter relasionship advice (cut from the EC) - Reinstated theatrical version of Ursula telling Peter he has a phone call - Reinstated the spinning newspaper at the start of the James Brown montage. I rotoscoped it out from the JJJ shot and put it on a black background. - Reinstated Aunt May talking to Peter in his apartment about MJ - Reinstated Bernard telling Harry that his father killed himself. This scene was replaced by the subsequent scene Total Runtime: Editor's Cut 02:17:48 and Hybrid Cut 02:23:15 Changes from the Theatrical Cut to the Hybrid Cut - Cut shot of Sandman comically diving into the sandpit and replaced it with a longer shot of the cops chasing him - Added 2 new shots of the Symbiote crawling up Peter's chest and creating the new symbol. The 2 shots have vastly different VFX, so a close up of Peter has been used to space these two shots apart - Added an alternate ending to the scene of Peter taking the Black Suit off for the first time. Instead of looking down at it and up, and deciding to take it off, he looks back up and sees a quick flash of a Proto-Venom in his reflection before ripping his shirt off - Added a short scene of Peter looking at the Black Suit case contemplatively - Added a few extra seconds of Sandman looking up in the subway - Added alternate version of Ursula telling Peter he has a phone call - Added extended scene of Peter looking at the case with the Black Suit and smiling as he gets it out - Cut shot of JJJ saying "We haven't printed a retraction in 20 years!" and replaced with longer shot of Eddie walking out - Added Black Suit Spidey swinging away from the Bugle - Moved Peter and Harry at the Cafe to after Eddie gets fired - Added alternate version of Peter and Harry's convasation before they fight - Moved James Brown funky montage to after Harry and Peter fight - Added Sandman turning into a sandcastle for his daughter - Added Harry looking at a photo of himself, Peter and MJ Total Runtime: Theatrical Cut 02:19:11 and Hybrid Cut 02:23:15 Changes from the Theatrical to the Editor's Cut (as the EC being used as a base and people may not be familiar with it) - Cut shot of Sandman comically diving into the sandpit and replaced it with a longer shot of the cops chasing him - Cut Peter apologising to Mr Ditkovitch and him giving Peter relasionship advice - Added a short scene of Peter looking at the Black Suit case contemplatively - Added a few extra seconds of Sandman looking up in the subway - Added alternate version of Ursula telling Peter he has a phone call - Added extended scene of Peter looking at the case with the Black Suit and smiling as he gets it out - Cut shot of JJJ saying "We haven't printed a retraction in 20 years!" and replaced with longer shot of Eddie walking out - Added Black Suit Spidey swinging away from the Bugle - Moved Peter and Harry at the Cafe to after Eddie gets fired - Added alternate version of Peter and Harry's convasation before they fight - Moved James Brown funky montage to after Harry and Peter fight - Cut the spinning newpaper from the start of the montage - Added Sandman turning into a sandcastle for his daughter - Cut Aunt May talking to Peter in his apartment about MJ - Added Harry looking at a photo of himself, Peter and MJ - Cut Bernard telling Harry that his father killed himself. This scene was replaced by the subsequent scene Total Runtime: Theatrical Cut 02:19:11 and Editor's Cut 02:17:48 I hope all of this makes sense to someone out there

Additional Notes:

The base of this edit was the Editor's Cut and while it does feature many new scenes, it also cuts a few of them from the Theatrical Cut. This edit hybridises the two by adding back the cut scenes from the TC back into the EC as well as some extra snippets from the trailer.
