Geez.  What about the Complete Rarities Amalgamation Project?

Yes much better! That's got the whiff of success about it.

btw It makes sense that an imposter was at work... I knew something smelt funny in this thread.

I'd be interested if this project is gonna be downloaded in one big dump or if it's going to leak out in a stream.

What do you think of my suggestion for a name change: The Ultimate Rarities Documentary?  To me that really grabs folks' attention, and they know they are getting something different different, something with a buttload of new material.

Ehhhh... I don't know darth... I think that title needs some polishing.

Will you be editing using the Mac OS or will you be opening Windows while you're working on getting this out?

Dr Who disses Star Wars...

Has there been any movement in the last two days?

If "I Gur" is spelled wrong then I got it first time, if it's spelled right then I don't got it.

Now I'm imagining that that's older Luke posing for a big-game-hunter style photo with the mounted and stuffed Rancor he took down.

ESB Revisited has had a very long development cycle... 

sure has, its taken longer for this edit than it took to make the actual film..

but i'm positive it will be worth the wait.

It took the CGI modeller longer to create the Empire State for Peter Jackson's 'King Kong' than it took to build the actual skyscraper!

The benefits of a vast workforce.

To me the biggest divergence is that the new star wars are not the singular vision of one man.

The three new films are not Lucasfilms even if Disney can now slap that label on them because they purchased the trademark to it.

Lucas directed 4 out of the six original movies.

He is not writing or directing anything on these new movies nor will he have any say in their editing or be behind the B camera on set like on Jedi.

This is not the sequel trilogy Lucas would have given us in 2005 had he decided to continue on, nor is it any of the other attempts at having it made.

I whole-heartedly agree, this is why the ST is gonna be fantastic!

This article is fascinating, in depth and a dare I say it, a little depressing when you consider all the things that could have been done to the negaive at different stages and at different points of the "restoration"...

Worse case scenario you'd hope an employe would've hidden a copy.

Remember that guy who worked at the BBC and spent ages stuffing old episodes of Dr Who and that clip of Hendrix on the Lulu show into the ceiling tiles so the tapes wouldn't be wiped.

To be fair Superman 3 was pretty bad but nowhere near as astonishingly bad as Superman 4 and Superman Returns in my book is a much better film than Man Of Steel and not that bad at all.

Nemesis is almost identical to JJ's Star Trek too.

Superman3 is a great action-comedy movie, one of the best, Richard Pryor is hilarious. But as a Superman movie it falls short.

I had issues with MOS but it was action packed, epic and emotional unlike SR. MOS was just too action packed, trim out 30 mins of smashing crashing and it'll be nigh on perfect.

I know Shinzon and Nero have similarities in appearance, actions and general underwhelmingness (Nero is like Spock's nemesis). But the difference is that Shinzon is the central focus of the plot of 'Nemesis'. Where as Nero is mostly in the background and only serves to keep the central plot of our heroes coming together ticking along. If Nero vs Spock had been central to 'Star Trek 2009' I'd agree that it would have failed in the same way and for similar reasons.

btw I was reading a rumour yesterday that Bryan Cranston was going to be Lex Luthor.

Then we'd know-for-a-fact that at least MOS2's villain is going to kick ass. With one caveat, he should in know way... allow himself to be captured and imprisoned in a glass cell before detonating a bomb that destroys The Daily Planet.

"Phreeow!" Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz in Star Wars! :-D

Might there be a place on Steve Grievous' bridge for the Marvin dialogue from 0:45 in this clip...?

 No single film can ruin a character or franchise.  Unless you let it.

Got to disagree...

1987 Superman IV*
1990 Rocky V
1995 Judge Dredd**
1997 Batman & Robin
2002 Star Trek: Nemesis

... all films that stopped franchises dead for around a decade. Until...

2013 Man Of Steel - Skipping over Superman Returns as that just killed it again ;-) (26 Year gap)*
2006 Rocky Balboa (16 Year gap)
2012 Dredd (17 Year gap)
2005 Batman Begins (8 Year gap)
2009 Star Trek (7 Year gap)

* Souring a franchise for a quarter century was testament to how awful 'Quest For Peace' was.

** My favourite comic character growing up was nearly killed off for my entire adult life because one film sucked so badly that it overshadowed everything that was great about Dredd. Thank god the latest film was awesome! :-)

If MOS2 is so terrible that it fails to perform financially as expected, it would wipe out Superman and possibly Batman with him for another decade. Let's not foget that MOS didn't set the box office on fire. It made a 200m profit, sounds good but 'Iron Man 3' made twice what MOS made at the box office and took home over 800m profit.

200m is only half the budget needed for MOS2 (Including marketing) so this franchise needs to start paying or Warner Brothers are just going to go elsewhere.

Just needs a few touches probably. The forground and building look great. I had a play with the shot for 1/2 an hour...

^ Background probably suggests he's not a hermit but it was the first half decent shot of tunisia I foundon google images. Added a couple of bits of tech from Luke's house on the left. But even that's not really needed.

Matte paintings where used for a reason. To add scale and glamour to shots that couldn't be achieved (Or couldn't be paid for) any other way. God knows why Lucas insits on throwing away the whole practical shot and crating a new fake one.

I take it from the Tattoos that the Hulk pictured is Maori.

Imagine a line of Hulks doing a Haka... you'd crap yourself.

It looks like Thunderbirds

I thought the lensflares were about the same. After the backlash from 'Star Trek', I was hoping he'd have toned it down on 'Into Darkness' but he probably wanted to keep a continuity to the look... at least that's what I hope. Because I don't want them anywhere near EpVII

You really want it to flow in an easy manner, but not too fluid or it can become a mess. Take your time. But on the other hand you don't want to cram it full of stuff for the hell of it because then it will just become constipated. Plan it out carefully; Substance, harmony, information, thought.

It could be released in volumes which would allow for more wiggle room while you push these out.

For example Points Of Origin Prologue, Points Of Origin Reappraisal, Points Of Origin Finalisation.

Don't you mean...?

"Points Of Origin Prelog, Points Of Origin Recrapaisal, Points Of Origin Finanalisation"

Will it feature alot of wipes?

Is it done yet?

no not yet

How about now?

 

Be patient. It may take a lot of time and effort, but I am sure POO will be worth it.

 

Yes, that's the thing with POO. The more effort you put in, the more rewarding it is when you've finished.

Thought I'd create a quick mockup of Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman that made it look serious...

Hmm he might be okay? Ledger was a joke until everyone saw him in the film, so who knows.

btw I love the idea (Above) of bringing Keaton back to play old Batman.

This video of Akira The Don's (Rapper and comic geek) wife breaking the news to him about Affleck is hilarious...
