3D Meet Bob Furmanek: HTF Golden Age 3-D Consultant (1 Viewer)

[Dick]

I plan to retire and keep bees.

Well, that would be a worthy cause these days, as bee colonies are being decimated world-wide. No bees = no flowers = no pollen = no vegetables = we're screwed. Good luck on that venture, as it probably holds more promise than Blu-ray 3D at this point. Personally, I like having both, and hope I can continue to enjoy them for the remainder of my life.

 

[Bob Furmanek]

I can't change the past and can't predict the future so I live for today!

 

[Johnny Angell]

I plan to retire and keep bees.

Well, at least the studios won't be stinging you anymore.

 

[Bob Furmanek]

In fairness, for the most part, the studios have been pretty good.

The "stings" have come from places like Olive and Shout.

 

[Peter Apruzzese]

I plan to retire and keep bees.

OK, Sherlock.

 

[RJ992]

No comment until the time limit is up.

Ok, now you're quoting Superman! So maybe you're working on the 20 minutes of 3D for a new release of Superman Returns? Or making sure Man of Steel' s 3D is improved? (Of course I know it's neither one and you can't say anyway but these days, we look for clues anywhere!)

 

[Interdimensional]

Superman in 3D?

... of course Bob F has used that same quote on various other occasions. I don't think there's any coded message there other than 'no comment'.

 

[Interdimensional]

Ed, naturally I can't go into much detail as contracts are still being negotiated but can say this:

There is one post-1966 title in the group and one for region C only.

Thanks for the reply, ... I'm tempted to enquire further, but I'll refrain for now.

Region C? - I didn't see that coming at all! A number of possibilities come to mind, some or all of which may be wishful thinking.

Oh I'm sure you are right about that. But that View-Master ad now makes me wish for a conversion of Donner's movie.

Region C could be:
Revenge of the Shogun Women
Dynasty
Domo Arigato
Mongnyeo
A Man of Great Strength: Im Ggyeok-Jeong

Revenge of the Shogun Women
Dynasty
Domo Arigato
Mongnyeo
A Man of Great Strength: Im Ggyeok-Jeong

And I would gladly grab any or all of them.

Mr. Holmes, I presume.

We are delighted and truly honored to receive this week-long tribute at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

3-D RARITIES is having an encore presentation after selling out its world premiere at MoMA in 2015; THOSE REDHEADS FROM SEATTLE has not been presented in 3-D, widescreen and stereophonic sound in New York since 1953; GOG has never played NY in 3-D and SEPTEMBER STORM has not been seen there since 1960.

Don't miss 3-D FUNHOUSE from September 1-7, 2017 at MoMA!

O M G. Seriously. I will do my very best to be there for at least some if not all of those.

 

[dana martin]

Bob,

i have a question, has Universal approached anyone about Revenge of the Creature? for when the possibly release The Legacy Collection.

thanks

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Dana: No comment until the time limit is up...

 

[Dick]

Dana: No comment until the time limit is up...

Question answered AFAIC. Thanks!

And thanks for helping to keep this format alive, even as manufacturers and studios bow out.

 

[dana martin]

Not just Bob and his partners, but the Media Providers that are still willing to do these releases as well, racked up quite a bit during the Kino sale

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Jack Theakston just posted this announcement on Facebook of our most recent - and in many ways, most historically significant - lost 3-D discovery!

Here's our big announcement this week: Out of the vaults of Paramount Pictures, a long-lost, stereoscopic rediscovery! The final film shot with the Paravision rig: a series of introductions to Paramount's CEASE FIRE! with Gen. Mark W. Clark, who signed the Korean Armistice Agreement in July 1953. General Clark attended a number of the film's openings, but for those key premieres he couldn't, this film was shown in its place. Three introductions were filmed, and we'll include all three on the upcoming Kino-Lorber 3-D Blu-ray. This will be the first time this footage has been seen since 1954!

 

[Josh Steinberg]

That's a really awesome find!

I love these kind of discoveries that put films into the original context, and it's even more exciting that it's actually in 3D!
