<strong>Coming Soon</strong> | Upcoming Film &amp; TV | new, returning, reboots, spin-offs, trailers etc...
Time

A thread for ‘Upcoming Film & TV’ content…

 
Whether Sci-Fi & Fantasy, action & adventure, thrillers & chillers, espionage, light hearted fun, comedies, independent films, or ‘under the radar’ TV content, or simply any moody or atmospheric ‘out there’ material.

It may hopefully help some of us suffering with the old age, forgetfulness, not being on social media much etc… in overlooking or simply being unaware of the likes of season 5 of Stranger Things aired last week - and a fair few other shows too (The Witcher, the new Dr Who spin-off series news & trailers, and the return of Scrubs). So I thought it may be worth having a thread on here for anything that is ‘coming soon’ that may be of interest to us on here to keep tabs on…
 

If anyone knows of a good site that lists new and upcoming Films and TV Series… let’s have 'em. 👍

Please post up any teasers or trailers for film or TV - or a link to IMDB - so we can all get a gist of what it is about etc.

<strong>Ahsoka</strong> (live action series) - general discussion thread
Time

Claudia Black won’t be in Ahsoka Season 2…

“Well, I’m going to be transparent. They picked up season two, picked me up with it, and then Disney, which is structuring things differently these days, could not pay me what I needed to be paid as a single mother to keep all my responsibilities going at home in Los Angeles, because they were filming in London. It was not something that they could make happen, and therefore, I had to bow out for season two.”

a batch of audio clips have from the Original Trilogy have been uploaded to the ALI youtube channel over the past few days.

These can be found in the Video Clips section.
 

Similar to the ‘Image Screenshot Comparisons’ and actual ‘Video Clips’… these audio clips may well be affected by youtube compressions - along with a reminder that this is a all a Work In Progress (WIP) - so may not be the ‘final cut’ etc.

35mm Film Formats Explained

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pema-zdPF2g - a 12 minute video from the In Depth Cine youtube channel.
 

The blurb: ‘By far the most popular film format is 35mm. But what you may not know is that there are then 3 further format choices that need to be made between: 2-perf, 3-perf or 4-perf. But what is a perf and how does it affect both the budget and how the footage looks?’

Hey, long time lurker. I just registered because I never had much to post about. I saw the supposed “leaked restoration footage” on youtube and wanted to share some observations and thoughts.

Damn. I called this back in 2021. Hope its true.

If so, this will be a day long remembered…

We’ve been calling for this for so long. The 50th anniversary is our best hope. And it seems like it may actually be happening.

a gif comparison of ALI and the UHD…

Ooooh now we’re in my favorite stuff. And wow does that look good. Simply incredible. Any chance of a similar GIF from 4k83?

Unfortunately, I don’t make 'em - I just repost them, mate. Though I hope we’ll see similar comparison gifs in the future, too. 👍

Why Raiders of the Lost Ark Still Looks like a Billion Bucks

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SK1LlHyq-A - an 8 minute video from the wolfcrow youtube channel.

 
The blurb: ‘A deep dive into the visual integrity and enduring technical quality of the 1981 classic, Raiders of the Lost Ark. This video explores how director Steven Spielberg and cinematographer Douglas Slocombe achieved the film’s spectacular, timeless look on a tight schedule and budget.’

Is it even possible to get this version? I ask because ‘MJBenito’ hasn’t been active for a long time.

Yes, it is. Though this place isn’t a download site - it is a community.

❕ I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation I am interested in - but I don’t know how to get / acquire / download it? ❕

Fellow members are more likely to help you out if you are a participating member of the community here; you don’t have to be a fellow fan editor, preservationist, tech wiz, artistic or skilled etc… just a member that has made, or is making, an effort.

NOTE: Many editors & preservationists choose not to make their projects available to ‘hit & runners’ or people with a post history of mainly asking for various projects - which is completely up to them. That some people join up here looking to simply take - instead of give something back; not even leaving a simple ‘thank you’, feedback or review, or join in with the community here - and instead move on to asking for more projects… is not encouraged. Such requests may likely be ignored or deleted.

and…

Do NOT make ‘link request’ posts for fan projects in any of the threads on here. Instead, use the time to look around and see how this community forum functions, our site rules & fan project rules, read through any of the pinned ‘Index & Help’ & ‘How Do I Do This?’ threads, as well as any of the fan project threads that may be interest you - and join in the conversations on here.

Leave some feedback or reviews for projects you have previously seen. Or join in the discussions about the Original Trilogy - or the wider Galaxy Far Far Away. Or participate in the discourse here on film, tv, music, art, books & comics, gaming, tech, history, sports… or life in general etc. Read up on how some of the many fan projects on here are made / evolve / come together - or check out the talented artists’ cover artwork, and budding authors’ stories, script-writing, and re-writes.

Simply becoming an active and participating member of the community on here means a significantly better chance of others helping you out in acquiring any fan projects you may be looking for…

^ though the whole linked post above is worth a read through - as is looking around to see how this place works - and doesn’t.

Good luck with it. 👍
