Idea & info: 'Caligula - The Restored Cut' (concept)
Time

Does anybody happen to have a copy of the book that was mentioned that they would be willing to share? “Caligula - Reconstruction, analysis, and it’s place in Tinto Brass’ oevre”
I have been fascinated by this movie for years and the only book I have been able to find on the subject is a novelization of the film itself from the 70s which is actually rather interesting as it includes scenes detailing Caligulias childhood and relationship with his other siblings. This movie certainly deserves to be preserved as the director originally intended and not as what it turned out to be.

Help: looking for... Friday the 13th - Alternate Versions...
Time

You and me both! The whole Friday the 13th series aside from the first were totally ruined by the MPAA. I used to have a copy of NOES that was a composite that added back some scenes (the scene where Nancys mom explains Freddys backstory originally revealed that the Elm St. kids had all had older siblings who were murdered by Freddy and Tinas/Glens original deaths being the two that stand out to me) but unfortunately I dont think I have this anymore.
Event Horizon is also at the top of my wishlist as well as a more complete version of Wes Cravens Cursed.
Im afraid I don’t currently have a link to the composite of New Blood as I found it as a torrent probably 10 or more years ago but I have it stored on an external hard drive along with some other rare goodies.
I would have to go through my hard drive to see but I think I might even have a couple of the other movies you are looking for out of the series. I could try to upload it somewhere. Im kind of new to all of this so Im not exactly sure how to go about it. Any suggestions/help would be majorly appreciated.

I actually have a copy of the F13 New Blood workprint composite. The quality is not the greatest as the deleted scenes are straight from an old vhs, and are missing some elements such as background music etc. and while they have been added back into the film itself (using the deluxe dvd set version if I remember right) the effect is far from seamless, again due to quality, but for what it is it is still a huge treat to see this as the director intended before the MPAA butchered it.
This had the potential to be the best F13th sequel out of the bunch but sadly I doubt that we will ever get to see this one in better quality than this.

Help Wanted: 'Anne of Green Gables' (1985) Bluray image restoration project
Time

I would love to help in any way I can. I loved these movies when I was younger and probably still have the vhs boxed sets of the first and second from back when PBS used to offer them as a gift for pledging your support back in the late 80s early 90e. The 3rd movie was just so far out of tone with the others that Ive only watched it once or twice despite owning it.
Do you have any plans to restore the second movie? I would love to be able to compare them to my original copies.

Info: Jurassic Park - Bootleg / Workprint / Extended Cut on video
Time

I seem to remember the shot of the raptors eye through the cage being in the film when I saw it in theaters but being disappointed to find that it wasn’t on my vhs when it was released on video, but I could be mistaken. An extended cut of this would certainly be a real treasure.
I wasn’t aware that Spielberg doesn’t like to release extended footage for his movies given that he has released extended cuts (or at least included deleted scenes on the dvds) for ET, Close Encounters and the Lost World. I wonder if it is just this movie he has an issue with…

'Friday the 13th Part V - The Killer Is Jason Edition' (Released)
Time

This movie is my least favorite out of the entire series and I have actually thought of doing my own edit to remove the entire “fake Jason” subplot for my own personal enjoyment of the series as a whole. That being said I would love to see this just so to see the black sheep of the franchise become a true sequel. Any updates? It looks like this topic has been dead for quite a while.
