He writes, “There’s one pretty noteworthy person who doesn’t want them released. Shouldn’t be too hard to research who that is.” (https://twitter.com/pablohidalgo/status/941382975853281281).

I’m not sure what the subsequent discussion here is implying but this seems pretty unambiguous to me (his shitty sarcasm aside) … and it’s the same thing everyone was told by Kennedy months ago. What else is there to debate now?

Kennedy never commented on the possibility of an OOT release.

Only if you grasp hard enough to all those straws.

Not grasping. If you watch the unedited clip of that interview, you’ll see she had no idea what the guy was talking about and then answers a question about making more changes.

KK: oh those are George’s

PH: oh those are ‘somebody’s’ wink wink

Call me crazy but I just don’t see a lot of wiggle room for interpretation any more, and it was only ever a tiny amount to begin with.

The most likely conclusion to draw from all of this is just that Pablo Hidalgo is being a jerk.

I don’t know what he’s done that would cause anyone to think he’s a jerk, but then again I guess you think most people are anyway.

I don’t think most people are jerks. I don’t like most of them but I don’t think they’re jerks. Pablo seems smug to me. I also just said that he was “being a jerk,” not that he was one.

Pablo’s latest reply on that thread:

“I think people respect his wishes.”

I don’t think you can totally discount the fact that Star Wars as of yet hasn’t had even an inkling of a mention in any articles about the deal despite being fairly big news that Disney now holds the rights to ALL SW movies, probably one of their biggest and more profitable franchises alongside the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And the fact that news on Mike Verta’s restoration has also gone completely cold at the same time.

If Disney really are trying to keep the whole thing quiet in lieu of an official release in the near future then I highly doubt you are going to hear anything but denials via official and even most unofficial channels. They’ll have that shit locked down water tight…

I really don’t think Mike’s silence has anything to do with this. Most likely what’s happened with Legacy is they seized all assets related to the film, made him sign an NDA, and threw it all in the vault to be forgotten. Near the end Mike also seemed more interested in using it as a restoration proof of concept than an actual release. I doubt Legacy will ever see the light of day.

I don’t know where you’re getting smugness from, I don’t see any of that here.

So, no mention of the OOT after the deal either means they are not interested in it or they are already working on it. Just like no mention of the OOT before the deal either meant they were not interested in it or they were already working on it. I don’t see how buying Fox changed anything. We either get it or we don’t and all we can do about it is wait.

Ceci n’est pas une signature.

Careful, saying stuff like that out in the open about a “new” membet might get you a ban from the Thought Police around here these days.

(Also, I’m not sure if it’s Jedi Master Skywalker, greenlanternslight, or both, but at least one of them is definitely JMOW.)

I’m not JMOW

Yeah I’m not Jedi master obi wan

How do you know who JMOW is?

I heard about him from other people on forum

Paul said it isn’t happening tho

Flappin forget what Paul said! As someone else said, he’s essentially a nobody in the scheme of such decisions and has probably had his hand forced to sign an NDA so either way we’ll never know if it’s going to happen until it’s happened or we’ve all died of old age waiting for it to happen 😉

Stop complaining about Paul. He died back in the 60’s via decapitation, so let him rest in peace.

Also, is an official release of the unaltered trilogy becoming the Half Life 3 of movies?

I doubt any statement regarding OUT release is gonna occur that quickly after the sale took place.
