Synopsis:

1899: The End of the Victoria Era of Adventure, and the Dawn of the Pulp Age of Heroes! When a threat so evil emerges that the fate of the entire world hangs in the balance, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is assembled. The LXG must unravel a diabolical plot and face off against one of the world's most infamous villains!


Intentions:

Continuing my series of fan edits featuring Pulp era adventures, this time along with converting to black and white, I have made the Africa scenes sepia and Mongolia scenes cyan. Aged damaged film FX have been added throughout the feature, along with lower video quality deleted scenes. The objective was to increase the character development and trim back many of the over the top action scenes.


Change List:

- new opening credits - new April 1899 title card - cut Bobbies chasing tank through the streets of London - couple of minor cuts during Quatermain's fight in the clubhouse - cut CGI bullet - cut CGI London cityscape - new July 1899 title card - cut "Where are we going -- Australia?" - cut "One of our members is late" - cut "I call it an auto-MO-bile" - added 4x3 Deleted Scene One with rain SFX and music - repurposed/flopped a shot of the Nautilus diving - deleted scene of Jekyll and Quatermain -- "Hyde will get his hands dirty" - Quatermain continues his walk, meets Mina, they observe Nemo -- "Not the one I don't trust" - transition shot of Nautilus surfacing - deleted/extended scene of the bridge -- clearer suggestion of Skinner's guilt - Quatermain/Sawyer target practice scene - deleted/extended scene with Mina and Dorian (added music) - Jekyll/Nemo using extended deleted scene (added music) - moved/inserted Quatermain/Sawyer meeting with Nemo - Jekyll discovers missing formula, informs Quatermain, Sawyer and Nemo - cut Nemo commenting on the "old tiger" and Quatermain's response - cut the group sneaking into exterior of fortress, cut from Quatermain "the game is on" to Moriarty in his den - trimmed Quatermain and Sawyer running through Fortress hallways - added damaged film to the dodgy Invisible Man planting dynamite - trim Nemo freeing the prisoners - cut the henchman explaining the contents of the box since Skinner already did this earlier - cut Dorien "I hoped to get to nail you one more time" - broke Sawyer's battle with evil invisible man and fire guy into two separate scenes and reordered/trimmed the action scenes with Hyde, Quatermain, Sawyer and Mina... has a faster pace continual cliffhanger feel to it - lots of trims to Hyde's fight - added damaged film fx to Dorian rapid aging - removed cut away shots to the bombs counting down - added damaged fx to M cape glider shot - cut CGI bullet - added fade to black with Sawyer standing over Quatermain - Sepia for final Kenya scene.
