I’ve read that The Keep (1983) has had a legitimate HD broadcast in Europe. I know someone posted it on a website but it was in German and I couldn’t figure it out. It is probably my favorite movie. I just love the atmosphere and I think the confusing plot only adds to the charm. What I wouldn’t give to finally see this movie in HD. I’m tired of the lousy Laserdisc upscales.

I recorded the UK HDTV broadcast last year and that turned out to be yet another upscale of the omnipresent Laserdisc master. The confusing plot is very likely down to the troubled production history.

I have heard that there is a three-hour version, but then someone told me that it isn’t a true three-hour version, it was just a bunch of different takes of the same scenes put together to help Mann figure out what takes he wanted to use. So I think there are no real extra scenes to help out of the confusing plot. Although obviously there is an alternate ending, and multiple ones at that.

I figured I would post in this thread instead of making a new one.

This is one of my favorite movies. Am I the only one who enjoys the theatrical cut ending? I love that they used deleted footage from The Shining, because that is another favorite movie of mine. I wish they could’ve had Deckard drive the Spinner, and composited the shots of the Spinner flying with the aerial footage from The Shining. That would’ve been a nice bookend to the movie, since the opening scenes have Spinners flying.

Yeah, the narration sucks of course, but I actually like having an upbeat ending to an otherwise dreary movie. Believe me, I’m a huge movie nerd, so please don’t take my movie nerd card away.
