Star Wars Uncut

What would happen if you took George Lucas’s classic Star Wars film and split it up into 15 seconds clips, then distributed those clips to hundreds of fans to remake in their own way? Well, you’d get the Star Wars Uncut project on Vimeo’s video sharing site. It’s amazing the variety and hilarious re-enactments of every nerd’s favorite movie. Not sure if all this amalgam of bathrobe clad extras will actually go together in a watchable full length movie or not but the results of just watching a few clips is more than entertaining!

Planet of the Apes as a Twilight Zone Episode

Planet of the Apes “re-imagined” as an episode of The Twilight Zone. Why? Both were written by Rod Serling!

Rod Serling, creator of The Twilight Zone, also co-wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Which is why the movie plays like a two-hour episode of the show, complete with social commentary and shock ending.

You don’t have to be a flash programmer to appreciate this fantastic animation.
This was done by Alan Becker, a (then) 16 year old and it took him three months to complete.
