How’s things come along with this?

Any Interesting stuff you found?

I haven’t been able to do any additional work on this for the last couple of months due to being busy with other things. The only new pertinent info I’ve found since is a post from a Blu-Ray.com user that says the original theatrical version of the Wages Of Fear cut didn’t dub the foreign-language scenes, but rather presented them in their original languages with subtitles. The dub was done for TV masters which were then used for the VHS releases discussed. However, there’s no way to verify that now without access to an original theatrical print.

In terms of Sorcerer news, a new coffee table book full of photos and production memos related to the film is being released in France this April by La Rabbia, who released the French DVD set. Not sure how I’ll be able to afford a copy at the moment, but I want one all the same! http://www.larabbia.com/books/sorcerer-sur-le-toit-du-monde/
