Great...thanks for understanding. Pretty cool news for us geeks: we just got Vic Armstrong on board as our stunt advisor and second unti action director. Went up to his place at the weekend and saw his awesome home theater as well as the ORIGINAL Indy hat and whip! Had a good chat about projectors and what I felt was the best out there, as he is looking to get a new one. Surreal, geek paradise!
"BH also knows that feeling at the moment I'm sure - might explain why he's so busy. I'll give you his address, as I'm sure he can handle the transfer ... somehow."
Who's BH, and what's the best way to get stuff to him? I can, over the next couple of weeks, start dubbing the stuff to DVCam, but wanna be sure he can handle it before spending any time that might end up wasted.
"Wonderful that you've tracked most of it down ... keep looking for the Oscars and The Little Island. I forget if you had the 1983 pre-Williams Roger Rabbit scenes."
No pre-1983 RW Roger scenes, but I would dearly, dearly love to see more and have all of that stuff (I'm pretty obsessive about Roger Rabbit. Actually, another project I'm involved in just landed Bob Hoskins for the lead, so I'm heading down to set to get all my Roger stuff signed)! Will try again on Oscars and Little Island at the weekend.
"As for beating Warners' 14-disc Superman .... if you count my "optional discs for completionists", I already have. =D"
I thought we were up to 12/13?? I guess with the new stuff that pushes it past. The Thief is going to easily be the best collector's edition set ever, by the sounds of things!
"I still don't wanna spam Don Hahn!"
Okay...here's the thing. I have Don's phone number and direct email address. I was working on an animated musical at one point (co-wrote 16 song demos and did some artwork) and we proposed taking it to Disney. By chance I met the producer of a movie shot at Elstree who knew Don - she'd given him his first producer gig on Roger Rabbit - and she suggested we take it out to him. So we hopped on a plane and had a fun meeting with Don at WDFA in Burbank. The project ended up (eventually) at the direct-to-video department, where they wanted to water it down and take out half the story to get it to video budgets at the time (1998). We then had an offer from Fox Animation (another Don, this time Bluth, who had the experience with the fairytale format we were drawing on) and we decided to go with them, but then Bartok The Magnificent and Titan AE both crashed and burned and that was the end of Fox Animation!
BUT...I still have Don's WDFA contacts. Not sure how I would approach him, or if he's the right guy to talk to, but thats a possible possibility. I also potentially have links to Andreas Deja and Eric Goldberg, if we wanted to be more stealth like and just possibly get an idea if this is floating around anywhere right now at the Mouse House.
