Amazing! Cannot wait! 🤩

I only just saw this for the first time almost a decade ago at the age of 27 and I immediately loved it! I watched a crappy old VHS copy, but I still thought it was great. I have been a life long fan of George Pal’s The Time Machine, and felt like going through all of his filmography since I...

So glad to hear this! I absolutely adore this film and have been greatly looking forward to this release. This update has me overwhelmed and grateful for what is to come.

I only first saw this film about a decade ago, but it’s quickly become one of my favorites! I’m absolutely chomping at the bits to see this on blu! I’m very thankful after hearing for years that it was never going to happen.

I’m looking forward to this more than any NEW movie next year! I’m a relatively recent fan of this film, got a used VHS of it and saw it for the first time in 2013, the year I finally got around to seeing all the George Pal films I had yet to see and I immediately fell in love with it and is my...

Anyone else hear the news that they’re finally releasing this on blu-ray! I’m REALLY excited for this one! First day purchase for me!

I can't seem to get it to play. Do they post a transcript anywhere or even have these podcasts on YouTube?

I've only ever seen WWOTBG on VHS, and I enjoy the hell out of it. It's a toss up for my 2nd favorite George Pal film between this and Destination Moon. The Time Machine is my #1 favorite. I haven't watched the TCM recording yet, but will be soon. I can't imagine it'll be WORSE than the VHS.

Is this essentially a VCR but for DVD's? If so I had no idea such a thing existed. I will definitely look into this.

The VHS is the only copy of TWWOTBG I have, and it looks horrible. Though I do hardly ever watch it, the only reason is because I have my VCR packed away. It's one of the last VHS copies in my collection not on DVD (I think The Nude Bomb will be the final VHS movie I own not released on disc...

This is exactly what I intend on doing. I'd have to double check, but I think it's airing the first week of October.

At the risk of setting off another shit storm in this thread I have another question regarding the feasibility of using other elements like film prints to bring it to DVD/Blu-ray. Now I know it's been said Warner isn't willing to do that because of their own policy on quality. But if they had a...

Yep. :mellow:

If this is true, then what the F is Warner's problem? 1. They won't restore it because of the money. Perfectly understandable, but... 2. They allegedly won't accept strangers' money to restore it, and... 3. They won't release it in any form at all if it doesn't meet their "standards". Seems...

I think"crowd funding" is just a generic term and GoFundMe is a specific outlet that falls under the crowd funding concept.

At the risk of contributing to the longevity of this thread when it seems to be an open and shut case if "too expensive", what about crowd-funding? Since it seems to be in an unfortunately unique set of circumstances, I for one am interested enough in the preservation of this film to put in 100...

A little off topic but I thought I read he did the stop motion for the decaying Morlock in The Time Machine as well.

Not really sure what that means, but I guess it doesn't matter, there's so much stuff about movies and the technical aspects behind it and I'll probably never understand the nitty gritty details.

Just out of curiosity, and I've been doing my best to follow this thread so forgive me if it's been addressed. Is the reason it would cost as much to remaster strictly because of the damage to the negative? Or were there more issues to remastering because it was filmed in this Cinerama process?

I'd buy any level of quality release of this film on disc. I only own it on VHS and would have to unpack my VCR from storage to watch it. I have every other George Pal production on DVD (plus The Time Machine on Blu-ray). But I guess it'll never be. Good to know it's going to air soon on TCM...
