The Aluminum Falcon

Yay! Even though it'll be awhile, I'm excited to see an edit with Maul being Grievous. I've always been annoyed how the villains kept popping up in the PT.

Look at my avatar, now. I told you I'm not Alfred Hitchcock!

As I said before, good luck Negative One. I know what you're up against and I just hope that someday you manage to get the prints transferred.

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.

LOL! I haven't seen X-Files in awhile.

Anyone else find that The Aluminum Falcon looks an awful lot like Alfred Hitchcock?

Can't wait for that review Sluggo! :) It sounds like the V3 is getting high marks from the testers who've received it.

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?

Yeah sorry....

Yes; although, I was very young at the time.

Thanks for answering, Chewtobacca.

That's actually a wise move since we can actually see that Luke is getting wiser and can figure things out more on his own with the enlightenment of being a Jedi.

The AB looks obviously inferior to the Z, but still it would be nice if it were preserved. Hopefully, that man in Colorado with the ESB/ROTJ bootlegs turns out to still have them. The more bootlegs, the merrier ;-)

Anyway, after preserving some TPM boots, are we going to start looking more intensely for AOTC bootlegs to preserve?

No one answered my question earlier. Will the Maximum Bitrate Edition readily sync to the standard V3's audio tracks?

Sorry I meant the best looking DVNR-reduced transfer. I'll fix my initial post.

Yes.

TML, how old are you, if you don't mind my asking?  I'm going to guess 16 based on your picture.

Close, 15.

Yay! I'm younger! :-)

I like it! Are the hands supposed to represent Anakin's? The hands raised with lightsaber definitely makes it feel more OOT than the normal poster. All in all, it looks like a great poster.

Wow this is exciting! Count me in as definitely interested in this project Puggo! I'll definitely follow this thread and your various updates.

An alternate stereo audio track would be a fantastic addition in my opinion. Also, can't wait to see some true beautiful ESB color.  :-)

Wait not so fast... I just did another search and apparently there is a chance that there will be a remake. It's described in this article.

However, a fourth film is probably the more likely possibility as Raimi talks about this one more.

Wait I thought that he cancelled the making of a remake due to negative fan reaction. Didn't he say that he's focusing on Evil Dead 4, with Bruce Campbell as Ash?

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 doubt changing my name to Ash would help me any.

 

If you're changing your name to Ash, might as well change your last name to Holt. ;-) Just kidding...

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.
