3D Help restore the Golden Age 3D movie 'September Storm' (1 Viewer)

We're so close of the stretch goal but pledges are coming very slow now. Only one week left. I want Sea Dream restored and in the bluray.

The latest update is that they don't have the rights for the music on home video and procuring those rights would cost significantly more than the stretch goal. So, for the blu-ray, they'll replace the music with production music. Which sucks, but not so much that I don't want it to happen. I definitely want to see Sea Dream on blu-ray. Lerner does have the music rights for theatrical distribution, so the DCP for theater screenings will contain the original music. C'mon, $30,000!

Was the original music on this title mono? If yes, maybe this is a good thing if it can be replaced with a 5.1 digital music track. Only $1548 more needed!

 

[Bob Furmanek]

No, all stereo.

The licensing costs for that music on home video is astronomical so we have no other choice in this matter.

 

[RolandL]

sorry

In for a penny, in for a pound. $150 pledge so I can get the lobby cards as well (one of my favourite "box o' junk" bonuses, because lobby cards remind me of my childhood).

 

[RolandL]

Down to $1099.

Sea Dream is sadly out. Hope to see it in the future.

 

[Charles Smith]

Certainly. But everything that's in, old and new, is great.

The latest update on our SEPTEMBER STORM restoration. There's some disappointing news with SEA DREAM but just wait till you hear the good news.

Plus, in a few days, the announcement of an ultra-rare 3-D bonus short that I've been trying to acquire for more than a year!

If it's from the 1950's it's probably FOODINI IN FOUR DIMENSIONS. The Tell Tale Heart and Down the Hatch were also not released in 3D but, they are probably owned by Sony. TT could release those titles, if the 3D elements could be found.

Hi, Roland, I don't know if you ever got to see it, but my recollection is that Down the Hatch screened in 3-D at 3-D Film Expo II back in 2006. Not a great comedian in not a great movie, but the 3-D was competently handled and fun.

Just wondering aloud if the Mystery Short is American in origin. There are plenty of European shorts from the Golden Age that might make good candidates as well.

Hey David,

They mention it has never been released in 3D. Any European 3D shorts from the 1950's that have never been released?

To my shame "Down the Hatch" conjures up a totally different series of "movies".

 

[Mike Ballew]

Roland, I am afraid to speculate further, even down to listing European shorts with no known 3-D release. On the extreme longshot chance I could be right in my guess, I think it might detract from the irresistible suspense of waiting and dilute the excitement of the official announcement, which will come in the proper time. And if I've guessed wrong, I won't look quite so silly if I keep my guess to myself!

We've reached $30,000. I'm looking forward to the viewmaster reel.

Day 30 update on the campaign with some VERY exciting news. We are including a newly-discovered lost film not seen anywhere in 3-D for nearly 63 years!

[Peter Apruzzese]

Great news! Cool bonus short, can't wait to see it.

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Thanks, Pete. It's worth mentioning that HARMONY LANE was produced and directed by Byron Gill aka Lewis Gilbert!

Also, the final stretch goal is for a lenticular cover exclusive to the backers.

 

[StephenDH]

Max Bygraves in 3D. There's terrifying.

We've reached the $32,000 stretch goal. Lenticular covers for all Kickstarter Blu-Ray backers.
