As I've said 3 times now, the footage found in the Warners trailer is not a significant (or high quality) enough find for me to do a huge overhaul of the cut so soon after completing Mark II.
Even if it were, a 2 second shot of King Nod I already have in better quality elsewhere would not be the "big find" of the trailer. I am not stupid enough to have left timecode on any shot in the Recobbled Cut, anywhere.
As a test of the Warner trailer's quality, I am considering putting in their version of the Thief bouncing off awnings, to see how significant the quality change is. But for god's sake, I don't want to be redoing this forever.
I'm leaving for San Diego and Comic Con tomorrow, early. I have NOT mailed out ANY copies of The Thief Mark II. I'm sorry. I had 30 or 40 copies burned and ready to go, a huge stack, but then the new Nasrudin footage came in and grumble grumble grumble. The timing of this just drives me nuts.
I still intend to mail a bunch of Mark IIs out without the new Nasrudin scene. Sorry.
I will be taking a stack of Mark II Thief discs to Comic Con (and a couple Mark Is that never got mailed) and probably giving them away to people. If I can get rid of enough, when I get back next week I'll eventually run out and start sending out the versions with the Nasrudin scene included. But I burned a LOT of copies without it, so.
I've been rendering material for a new NTSC DVD of the animated commercials and other things for the past 3 days. It's been long and drawn out, and I'm glad to have a break from it.
If you're going to Comic Con, I look like this. Maybe you'll see me there.

I'll be in a better mood when I get back. Til then, those waiting for your discs, keep waiting - you'll be better off for it if I DON'T send the discs now, trust me.
