Neg,

Any more news on how this will be "released?"

Does anyone happen to have Basic Instinct on DVD from Germany, Holland, Portugal, Scandinavia, Spain and the UK?

There is a featurette on it that's 6:29 and I'm working on a project. It's not on the R1 version.

Wow! I've always been interested in the Godfather Saga version. Now I may finally get to see it.

Any chance someone will do a compressed 720p version? I don't need the massive 1080i version myself... 

Hey guys,

Thanks for bearing with me.

Looks like this beast will finally be done this afternoon, after a very long process.

:)

Was this ever posted anywhere else?

Now that Lucas has left 'Lucasfilm'... is the company now just called 'film'???

Can someone please explain how the CD's worked with the film? How did it sync up?

The break comes right after Michael wakes up from the car bomb in italy and right before Vito has the meeting with the 5 families. It's a perfect place.

 

it certainly is. splitting it into two single layer discs is perfectly fine, i figured it'd be part 4 that needed splitting. when do you think we'll see this?

Btw...all 45 gigs are being authored as we speak! :)

Perhaps we could do a PiF system on this? Anyone interested? I'll be torrenting but it might be good if you guys could jump on. It's going to take FOREVER to get 45 gigs to people.

Just watched this interview with James Caan and he talked about a documentary that had never been seen before about the making of the Godfather films. Apparently it’s only being shown at the Mob Experience in Las Vegas. Anyone know anything about it?

Guys,

I'm making the John Cazale documentary its own AVC-HD disc. It's about 7 gigs. Should I upload that separately? Does anyone have any interest?

and Adywan, did you watch the DVD or the Independent Lens (PBS) broadcast version?

Thanks, Ady.

Was worth the shot, eh? :(

How was the documentary, in general?

So....supposedly this has OT clips in HD:

"There is a documentary on Netflix called "These Amazing Shadows". The doc is all about the Library of Congress and the National Film Registry. They spend a fair bit of time on Star Wars...and all the footage is from the original release version. They show the original Death Star explosion, for instance. That seems to bolster the idea that they have the 1977 version in the vaults, not the Special Edition."


Anyone checked this out??

Holy zombie thread, Batman!

Both were shot on film, as they were released theatrically overseas. Very few tv movies were ever shot on video back then.

I still have my Laserdiscs. And I captured my off air VHS recording of Battle For Endor a couple years ago.

Question: what was the original format of these movies? Video? Film?

At this point, I'm not sure if I should include the John Cazale documentary or some other stuff that I have. I have an E! documentary celebrating the 25th anniversary and some Entertainment Tonight news reports. I think I might have to include that instead of the Cazale thing.

It's one or the other. Unfortunately, I can't include both. :(

definitely include the television opening of GF3 though

Patching is done.
Might anyone, by chance, have the DVD for "Rediscovering John Cazale?" I'd like to include the commentary and the bonus interviews from that.

This is going to be a VERY loaded BD-50.

There's an official re-release with new transfer coming out in September. Might make this project moot.

...well, how would that be a fan edit?  It's just un-censoring the extended TV cut.  I don't know who would be interested in watching a censored version.

Most people would. The Saga is just a curio, a chance to see the films edited in a different way from the theatrical versions, with those added scenes, and in this case in HD. The minor edits to violence, etc. aren't a big deal, if you're that desperate to see those few seconds of violence/nudity, watch the original cuts. I doubt the Saga is going to be the definitive version for anyone, most people will be going back to the original films as that is how they were intended. There's not that much cut anyway, there was only one use of the f-word in the entire first two films, one instance of brief nudity, and they've cut a few seconds off some violent scenes. The dinner murder scene is left intact, at least. If you want an uncut version so badly, make it yourself.

Which is what you'd use the AMC shots for, right?  You could even use the AMC audio, just replace any censored parts with the Blu-Ray audio when necessary.
