This set is out there, and I’ve heard that it has a few more minutes than the “normal” 270-min. workprint that was easy to obtain a few years ago. But is it worth looking for, considering the lousy quality of VCD (even if it is a boot tape transfer) and the fact that it’s cut into a couple of discs?

I’m absolutely certain it was never leaked anywhere outside the test cinemas… or was it?

The fact that only Lucas has so far saved the world from Indiana Jones IV is another reason why he should be praised. There is nothing worse in the film world than remakes, but the second place in the hierarchy of idiocy is occupied by belated, unwanted sequels that no logic accepts (especially when you have a self-standing trilogy that opens and closes itself perfectly), that only a couple of "fans" actually demand, and that only gets considered because it's easy money. There are about four exceptions where a sequel was actually good enough to be comparable to the original,
there are exactly three cases where the sequel was better (Godfather II, Bride of Frankenstein, Star Trek II), and there are a few cases where a sequel is so different that it makes an excellent film on its own (Return to Oz), but 99,99% of the cases are cash-in trash. The Indy IV crowd probably consists of the same ones that are now wondering "duh, me want know when Peter Jackson shoot Lord of the Rings IV, duuh". (Of course, half of Hollywood executives ejaculate over that very same idea, too)

Thank heavens half of Indy is Lucas's property. If it belonged exclusively to Spielberg, the DVD version would feature Jones fighting US government agents rather than German soldiers, with a huge walkie-talkie rather than a whip.

No... imagine getting into the Darth Georgeous's vault and making it out with the Lost Cut and everything else that's stored there. Maybe even more wookiee porn filmed for the never-released expanded, adult-only version of "The Star Wars Holiday Special".

Hearts of Darkness can be downloaded in many places.

I downloaded it a while ago after the 2DVD SE of "Apocalypse Now Redux" had been released, and I slipped it in the digipack as a third "bonus disc".

The workprint has, among others, a temp score, no SFX and Carey doing almost every Mask scene with only the green rubber prop - and, of course, scenes missing from the DVD or the DVD-ROM contents. You could indeed recreate it - if you had the whole cast, crew and the editing studio from New Line A.D. 1995.

Another edit I am working on is called "Star Trek: The Motion Sickness". It is a joining of ALL the footage

...for a second I thought this would go to "It is a joining of all the footage from all the Star Trek films and their deleted scenes into a single film"...

Good luck... I've looked for it for a while too. It seems extremely rare, though not as rare as, say, Boogie Nights or Robocop II workprints. But it's one of those workprints that only circulate in trades.

Speaking of Bond, if you go on the Atlantis DC hubs, you can find some users with the first adaptation of Casino Royale, the black and white TV transmission from the 50s - which, I believe, is still officially unreleased. The quality is terrible, the protagonist is "CIA agent Jimmy Bond" and the guy who plays him is almost as bad as this Craig character will be

, but it's a funny curiosity.

I never made any list of my discs. I have a bunch of workprints, all on DVD-R transferred from VHS (not by me). The Fight Club workprint is a very easy one to find - it's not that elusive Boogie Nights or Darkman the Series workprint.

I saw it in practically every pirate store that deals in workprints.

It can be downloaded from at least two DC hubs, too. I definitely saw it on Batmax on two regular users' lists.

It’s not really on topic, but since this film was originally intended to take place “some time in the future”, you could say that it’s SF…

Someone is making an extended fan edition of “The Warriors”

http://warriorsmovie.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1821

I don’t know if anyone else here is interested in this, but I feel that could be worth seeing, especially since I’ve read news and reviews about the “ultimate director’s cut” of Warriors, released this week in USA (and in two weeks elsewhere ), and everyone who saw it agrees that the “director’s cut” it’s a horrible bastardization of a beloved film, a nasty, moronic, unwatchable reedition that makes Greedo shooting first and “Return of the Jedi” with Hayden Christensen look like improvements.
