That is sad news about no re-shoot.
As it stands, this film is missing some major "Highlander" type elements.
The most important being the trademark Historical Flashbacks. Yes, they have a few quick flashbacks, but they are not done in the same way.

Take a look at this review.

This new trilogy also seems to be compromised with Bill Panzer's death.
I 'm tired of all these films made in Vilnius for an handfull of euros and no scenarii

the Anime "Highlander : the search of vengeance" promise to be more interesting.

Just had a preview of the (NEW) film, and I have to say it was as bad as I knew it would be.

Oh My God! The cover versions that are used of the Queen songs are just so horrendous!

I'm sure that Freddie Mercury is rolling in his grave.

This film needs a major re-shoot!!! With what they have now could possibly be re-cut into a decent Highlander T.V. movie, but that's about it.

I will say nothing of the plot. We will save that for after the official release. What I am going to say is that the film has an incredible lack of production value and it SHOWS and hurts every scene. This is direct to video quality type product so far as I can see. The fights are cut like the "Die Another Day" ice car chase. It's all done with editing tricks and, we get no ground breaking sword work at all. This will most likely be voted the worst adventure in the entire history of "Highlander" by most fans.

Why don't they learn?

Adrian Paul looks great (even in the cheap costume), and it's too bad he is not getting better roles. He "phones in" his part much as he had done in season 6 of the show.

Two part Episodes of the series had much more going for them. "End Game", the last film in the Highlander Film series was so much better then what I have seen in my preview of the "The Source"...

But again, this is still not the official edit of the film...

First off, the reason for this posting is to talk about the multiple edits and versions that already exist of this new highlander film.

And also, with my involvement with future fan edits of this production.

For info on the official production, you can google “Highlander: The Source” to get to the offical production page.

This posting is NOT for talking about how to get the Russian Cut torrent of the new 2007 film.

I’m sure you demons know how to search.

First off, I have not yet seen ANY cut of the film, but did read the official story treatment.

My hopes for an enjoyable NEW Higlander Film are not too high at this stage.

Over at the official “The Source” web page, they have a note to fans:

<span class=“Italics”><span class=“Bold”>To our faithful fans.

Any version of Highlander: The Source that is currently available is not the final producers’ version of the film. Peter Davis and Bill Panzer of Davis/Panzer Productions, the producers, in conjunction with Lionsgate Entertainment, are presently editing and remixing the film. This final cut will be delivered to Lionsgate on or about March 15, 2007.

Lionsgate will be releasing the film in September, 2007.

Peter Davis

Davis-Panzer Productions</span></span>

In other words, they are saying that any version that is out on the torrents at the moment sucks, and we are trying to save it the same way we did Highlander II!

The official release is set for September in the USA, and that is another bad sign. A September release is a well known low confidence vote from the studio.

This is not a "Rot" problem.

I've been using a Pioneer CLD-D504 with S-video out via to Sony Handycam, then out via 1394 firewire into PC.

This is the same player I used to make the Banned Bond set.

If you all feel that video transfer of the three films on those "Banned Bond" DVD-r's is ok, then I will consider going on with this...

I may be a bit unrealistic on the type of quality I am trying to obtain from a Laserdisc.

<<<<----CANCELED---->>>>

Due to a very poor video transfer from my current model of Laserdisc Player, I have CANCELED my preservation project of "Thunderball".

I think that a "preservation" should be presented at the best possible quality.

My laserdisc player issue should not affect any of my other projects.

Again sorry to the people looking forward to this.

How about a Fan Edit of:

http://lombardresearch.temple.edu/p4/images/Futureworld.jpg

This 1976 movie could be a "Not So Bad" short film with some skillful edits.

It could also be tagged onto the end of a fan re-edit of "Westworld" as a kind of 3rd act.

As far as I know, "Futureworld" is not on official DVD...

This episode mirrors mirrors the plot of the first Star Trek Movie...

And another thing with SPACE SEED.. It would be kewl to edit in {or somehow insert} some footage of Mr. Chekov {with his Beatles type wig} walking in a corridor in at least one establishing scene or cut away shot...

Hello,

I'm working on my "Thunderball" project, and I would like to make my DVD Anamorphic 16:9 widescreen to fit the new letterbox T.V. sets..

So far, I have taken the original widescreen Laserdisc of the film and captured it with Adobe to my PC. Now I have a 4:3 interlaced (720 x 480) NTSC master. I'm using Adobe Premier Pro & Adobe Encore to make my project...

What do I do?

It will be duel layer DVD format.

The project is on track and still being worked .

The isolated score may now be included as a stand alone extra... Some small bits of music could not be located. We don't want to have just 98.3% of isolated score running under the film, I want 100%.

French Mono WILL be included, but will only have the version of the dialog as it was presented on the S.E. DVD.

The Most complete version of the T.V. Play "Casino Royale" will be included, as well as other extras..

As for video. I have been comparing two versions released on Laserdisc of the International version..

One is from 1989 and the other from 1993. So far the 1989 looks best..
