Should anyone care,

Um, yes, someone does. Any chance you might make the collection available? Even at my pitiful aDSL (768/128…gotta move to cable) speeds, would be more than willing to help seed.

A Ten-years old thread. Nice.
The Workprint, anyone still has it?

Cheers

As far as I know all three versions of the Storm Front episode are still available on TV-Vault.

My rank there is too low to get invites. Maybe someone else can help.

I’m currently reorganizing my tv show files, and The Dresden Files season 1 that I have is in poor quality. Downloading the 1080p WEBRIP at the moment, and looking for a decent 2-hrs pilot and the workprint to complete the set 😃

So, ever get it all together? Still looking for any copy of the workprint, myself; have the same low-rez copy of the 2-hr film everyone else does.

(See? Only resurrecting a two-year-old thread this time. 😉

I know it’s been 13 years, but my grandparents and I found a copy of the pilot on disc today if you’re interested.

As previously mentioned in this thread…

It’s not some rare unicorn that requires someone’s grandparents finding a copy. It’s STILL available on the torrent site I previously mentioned (re-encoded from DVD to x264 with some minor clean up). It contains temp music, temp/missing/incomplete fx, blue/green screens and even cards for missing shots.

It looks like this:



There is also the TV movie version that incorporates previously unused footage from the rough cut. These scenes were finished and added along with new material and scenes culled from the rest of the season. The recycled scenes from the series largely consist of flashbacks.

Terrance Mann, who was hired to play Bob after the original pilot was completed, returned to provide a new voice for Bob the Skull.

Because of these changes, it does not fit in continuity with the rest of the series and acts as a stand alone “Storm Front” movie.

Bob now looks like this:

For those interested, just ask.

I am pretty much interested in every cut of the pilot there is, from both a filmmaking standpoint and as a hardcore fan of the books.

So… here we are… 2021…

Let me start off saying I’m so happy to see forums like this get updates, no matter how sporadic. It really proves that this fandom isn’t just a quirky little gang of fantasy geeks- It’s a goddamn community!!! And decades later, we’re still kicking!!! ❤️

I could go on, but alas I find myself on a quest- yes, the same quest many of you have found yourselves on.

~ The Quest For The Pilot ~

[cue sweeping & dramatic score]

Is there any hope of getting a copy?? Am I wasting my misspent youth on a perilous & ultimately doomed venture??

Perhaps. But I refuse to give up, I refuse to settle, I refuse to believe this cannot be obtained!

Any help would be so very appreciated. And failing that, some companions in commiseration.

Hello! Would it be possible for me to get a copy of the unpaired pilot? I have a low quality copy of the re-released “original” pilot, with scenes from the rest of the series edited in, but I would really like to get my hands on the original rough cut if possible.

Funny thing, DresdenPhile disappeared without ever responding to my PM. Check your PM’s, Tsavo.

Is there any chance I could get the unaired pilot please. Been searching the net but unfortunately not found it in public places. Thanks

Thanks in advance.

Hello All, Any chance I could get the unaired pilot? Also I’ve picked up the extended aired version of the Pilot/Storm Front from elsewhere but it seems to be cropped, and therefor I suspect the quality isn’t that of the original capture/released file. I’m wondering if anyone has something closer to the original? Or knows where to look?

Thanks in advance 😉

I don’t think it was ever broadcast in true 16x9. My source was a letterboxed widescreen from Canada.
I’m told it aired late one night in the U.S., but I never even knew that until long after the fact. So I have no idea how Syfy broadcasted it. Maybe they cropped it.
