Idea: Prints - Has anyone tried getting prints of the films for preservations?
Time

Good luck finding someone to transfer those prints, Negative 1. You're gonna need it. ;-) Anyway, I'm sure a solution will eventually present itself, and when it does, it will be a day long remembered. I also agree. It is better to do it right than fast. Wait for a 4K or 2K scan instead of getting a quick and dirty SD scan or 1080p scan.

Can you tell us more about the alternate audio track?

Jaxxon's idea.  Since there was never a mono mix for ESB, there probably isn't anything inherently special about the optical audio track on the 16mm film (although I certainly will include it anyways). He suggested grabbing a stereo track from a CAV ESB laserdisc.

That sounds like a good idea. The Puggo Grande is especially special to me since it's like having the theatrical experience, complete with mono soundtrack. By having the stereo instead of mono from the actual 16mm, it would help recreate this experience. Are you thinking of artificially adding noise to the stereo to make it sound like it actually came with the print?

Putting a face to the name

Sam Raimi originally intended his name to be Ash Holt when making the first Evil Dead, of course, he didn't actually put that in the movie. Later he decided to change it while writing AOD I believe. The full official name, as of current, is actually Ashley J. Williams.

By the way, did you know Raimi is writing the script for a fourth one? Jeez I can't imagine another one since Campbell is getting old.

I'm a teenager and I've always been interested in film preservation. It's quite the interesting hobby. It's probably important that young people are also interested in classic cinema. Otherwise, what's to stop people from destroying the classics later on? The younger generation must always have those few who are interested in all of this stuff; otherwise, all that this site strives for will be forgotten.
