Very nice release, but as a restorative effort it still pales in comparison to the grand-daddy of all restorations - the seventy million dollar plus work to save Out of the Blue. Even the pyramids required less labour.

THEY ARE NOT

You’re correct. Nothing more that Scott (or anyone) could have done to create a higher quality version. Obviously, without the cooperation via access to further elements.

I’ll tell him of your request. Seeing him Sunday. And I believe HTF’s Charles Smith will be there.

In a world of ”restoration” for publicity’s sake, Invasion is the real thing.

But do you long for the desert?

I believe you’d be pleasantly surprised. Curtain, 4-way masking, 37’ screen, Dolby Atmos.

Mr. MacQueen is presenting the film twice in New York, next week. First at MOMA, I believe on Saturday, and then Sunday at the Bedford Playhouse. Both with a master's class and Q & A.

Someone was asking about dupes. Here’s the edit list for Tail Reel 2AB:

I have been informed that no material actually from Invaders was used for the Batman episode. The shot noted was an alternate (stock footage) take.

As perfect as possible derived from available elements.

Precisely. A perfect example is GF3, which was single strand S35. All printer functions were duped and cut in. In 2007, we had a bit of time and budget, and were able to replace the most problematic - all had been poorly made. Most recently all were replaced with OCN. Yet another *, is that...

Not necessarily correct. Totally dependent upon the printing process and negative cutting conformation. Dye transfer / Direct positive / misc, as SCC - Single strand auto-select; Single strand or YCM non-a-s, ie printer functions built-in; A & B roll (or multiple rolls) The only format...

Best to leave these sealed and move to eBay.

Far more discussion of tracking info this year for delivery of Invaders than following Santa’s sleigh.

A (non-political) Message for the Holidays… (Organ playing very softly in bg - not religious theme) As we work our way toward the end of another year, and people (those free to do so, if they choose) around the world celebrate as they desire, it should be noted that a decision was made toward...

Invaders is standard issue Eastman Color 5248.

Look forward to your thoughts. An extraordinary amount of effort went into this restorative effort, which holds my number two place, just below Out of the Blue.

Could not agree more!

Commercially Pressed. I’m told they’re Ready.

Full disclosure. I saw Invaders from Mars as a kid and hated it. It was an ultra-low budget affair in a color process that looked like crap. Even then I noticed shadows as actors walked too close to the background cyc. I saw it on DVD years later, and that didn't solve anything. Now, well over...
