LIST OF MAJOR EDITS

I actually ended up removing 2 hours and 13 minutes from the runtime. This is in spite of adding back more than 7 minutes worth of deleted material. This is not an exhaustive cut list. These are just the highlights. There are a bunch of trims and dialogue cuts/replacements that are not listed. Hopefully all of those are transparent.

• !* THE CGI BUSHES ARE GONE *!
• Entirely new intro sequence with incorporated (minimal) titles.
• New music cues throughout by David Fesliyan.
• Re-purposed various establishing and cutaway shots throughout.
• Removed fade-to-black commercial breaks wherever they appear.
• Cut many, many insert shots of the boiler. You’re a grown-up. You’ll remember.
• Cut Jack & Watson talking endlessly about the boiler in the basement.
• Cut Jack & Ullman outside the Overlook.
• Cut Danny & Wendy inside the apartment.
• The Jack & Danny incident has been moved to later in the film.
• Jack & Wendy’s post-incident conversation has been cut.
• Wendy searching Jack’s office has been cut.
• Removed all physical manifestations of Tony wherever they appear.
• Jack’s AA call outside the bar has been cut.
• The drive to Colorado has been re-foley’d, re-scored, and heavily trimmed.
• Arriving at the Overlook has been heavily trimmed.

• Trimmed the “Back with the Groceries” scene. A lot.
• Shortened Danny & Jack’s conversation.
• Moved long panning shot of the Overlook coming to life to later in the film.
• Re-cut Jack & the bees part 2.
• Cut the AA meeting.
• Added the Jack and Danny incident as a flashback while Wendy is with the doctor.
• Sliced-up Jack in the basement to use over various days instead of all at once.
• Moved Danny & Wendy playing in the snow to after Jack in the basement.
• Moved Danny checking out Room 217 to after the snow.
• Re-edited Jack confronting Danny so that Jack seems less crazy at this early point in the story.
• Added deleted scene of Jack and Danny being playful together.
• Moved scene of Jack and the Topiary up to now.
• Danny & Wendy talk about Jack trimmed, some dialog replacement.
• Jack & Wendy in the lobby trimmed a bunch.
• Re-cut Danny in 217 and Jack & his father to be a bit more interactive. The two events come off as more connected rather than simply simultaneous… hopefully.
• Removed the close-up on the 217 Woman.
• Removed Jack explicitly destroying the radio.
• Moved Jack “discovering” the broken radio to AFTER finding Danny on the stairs.
• Trimmed the scene where the Torrances try to sort out what happened to Danny.

• Added deleted scene of Jack explaining his theory of events.
• Trimmed Jack and the snowmobile to keep a little bit of mystery, or at least make it less obvious.

• Heavily cut the hedge attack on Danny. Made it possibly just in Wendy’s mind???

• Removed all instances of Dick Halloran on his way to the Overlook. We have no idea if he’s coming or not.
• Cut Danny and the Dogman.
• Cut all the Overlook scares against Jack. Seems the hotel would be trying to court Jack, not scare him.
• Cut a crap-ton of the ballroom stuff. Including the excessive shot of King’s cameo.
• Cut shots of Jack in the empty ballroom. Not clear if it’s in his mind or a real manifestation.
• Trimmed Wendy’s route to find Jack so it’s a little more direct. Not that she would know, but since we DO know, it reduces the tension.
• Trimmed the fight between Jack & Wendy.
• Trimmed dragging Jack to the pantry.
• Cut Wendy and Jack talking through the door.
• Lots of new foley when Jack attacks Wendy.
• Removed cutaway(s) to Danny. We don’t know if he’s heard the warning or what.

• Tightened Jack chasing Danny.
• Re-cut the final moments with the boiler and the escape to keep the tension high.

• Cut the “Ten Years Later” scene.
