Darth Maul was the most popular new character to step into the spotlight when Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace premiered. Unfortunately, he was cut in half by the film's end, cutting him out of the other two prequel films, literally. While he was brought back from the grave in Star Wars: Clone Wars, Star Wars: Rebels, and a brief cameo in ...
Fan films are most often focused on Star Trek, Star Wars, or Batman. The legendary superhero has more fan films regarding him and his mythology than all other superheroes combined. While many of these attempts are far too amateur to suggest, Batman: Broken Promise has a story worthy of a big budget film and an animation style worthy of its own seri...
Hollywood has no idea how to adapt an anime. There have been many attempts to make movies and television shows based on Japanese animation, but few have been successful at all. Perhaps the worst attempt has been Dragonball: Evolution. It seems as if the Dragon Ball franchise is impossible to adapt into a live action feature. Enter Dragon Ball Z: Th...
Bat in the Sun is one of the best channels making fan-made content today. They are well known for their Super Power Beat Down series that pits characters from different fandoms against one another in an epic, and often fatally wounding, competition of fighting skill and willpower. The best of this series is Batman Vs. Darth Vader. It sees Batman jo...
Pokémon is the single most successful media franchise of all time. So there should be at least fifteen live action films for the series by now, right? Wrong! So far there's only the surprisingly decent, yet forgettable, Pokémon: Detective Pikachu. That film tried to bring the series into the real world but didn't quite hit the mark as hard as it co...
Joseph Kahn is a well-known director in the music video world, having worked with Taylor Swift frequently. His real passion has always been to break into a fandom franchise like Power Rangers or Justice League Dark. He managed to team with Adi Shankar, a producer famous for making unauthorized fan films like Punisher: Dirty Laundry in his "Bootleg ...
Most fan films seek to create an original story set in a fandom's universe. This is often a sequel, prequel, or origin story for a beloved character. Few seek to actually fix a scene in a beloved film that simply has not aged well. In the original Star Wars film, Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi's very first lightsaber duel is supposed to be an epic ...
TBA Sometimes Hollywood just doesn't understand what fans want even though fans are pretty clear about it. Pretty much all Uncharted fans agreed that Nathan Fillion was the PERFECT actor to embody Nathan Drake. Hollywood instead cast Mark Wahlberg as Drake, but then had to cast Tom Holland in the role because the film was in development for so long...
Younger fans don't know the pain of waiting for Christopher Nolan to make his sequel to The Dark Knight after it dropped in 2008. The movie ended on a cliffhanger that saw Batman on the run after taking the blame for Harvey Dent's crimes. Batman: Puppet Master provides itself as an alternate sequel to The Dark Knight Rises. This version sees Gotham...
Ah, Prelude to Axanar. The Star Trek fan film that was so good that it almost ruined Star Trek fan films forever. The fan film acts as a historical documentary recounting the days of the Federation-Klingon War that occurred right before Star Trek: The Original Series. It's a true vision from controversial producer Alec Peters. The film features rea...
- Batman : Dead End (2003) Before the Dark Knight series, the Batman was a running gag in Hollywood with the character’s lethargic depiction in movies such as ‘Batman Forever’ which starred George Clooney and the infamous nipple batsuit that left Bob Kane fuming.
- Troops (1997) The much loved Stormtroopers are back in a mockumentary which shows them going about their daily adventures on Tatooine in a ‘Cops’-esque fashion as they run into some well known characters.
- Judge Minty (2013) A world where crime runs rampant, it is left to the Judges to serve justice. After the success of Dredd, John Wagner, a fan created an unofficial crossover that follows a weathered out Judge Minty who deals with retirement as he strides through the desolate wastelands outside Mega city One.
- Darth Maul : Apprentice (2016) The only salvation from the Phantom Menace was the Darth Maul fight, who barely had any screen time before he gets chopped into half and gets thrown into a void(Palpatine style).
- Find a specific inspiration so you know WHY you’re doing it. Ok, this sounds easy, but look at my example. I’ve always loved Star Wars but never been driven to create a fan film before now.
- Add something to the universe that the fans can’t get already. It might sound like fun to reproduce, shot for shot, a particular favorite moment from a book, tv show or movie.
- Don’t treat it like a fan film. So, this may seem sort of obvious, or it may seem extremely counter-intuitive, but let me explain. Treat your film like a new installment, not a fan film.
- YOU AREN’T GOING TO MAKE ANY MONEY. That is the first thing you need to accept almost immediately when starting on this project, but I’m listing it last, because if the other steps fall in line, it won’t matter.

Dec 21, 2023 · Fan editing is an ingenious form of cinematic expression, where enthusiasts meticulously rework existing films to craft something entirely fresh. It’s a dance of creativity and passion that allows fans to reshape beloved stories while paying homage to the source material.
Jun 23, 2021 · A prime example of such derivative content that has become far easier to produce and access is the fan film. Indeed, a recent favorite of my own was a short (surprisingly well done) X-Men film centered on the fan favorite character Gambit. Lest there be any doubt: this fan film was not authorized by Marvel.
