Author Topic: New reel of Lord of the rings Miguel Angel Martorell Film Handler Posts: 81 From: Valencia, Spain Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-27-2002 08:05 PM                     Today in one multiplex of my company(where I work, I wish it was mine)it has arrived a new final reel for LOTR. It seems to have 5 minutes more or so that the old one. The title shown in the box is "A glimpse of the future". Is it really a new cut or they are fooling me and trying to hide that they have asked for a replacement reel?.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-27-2002 08:14 PM                        I remember reading a rumor somewhere [here?] that a new final reel of LotR was being prepared for release. Was supposed to contain teaser footage of the next 2 installments I think, or something like that.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-27-2002 08:23 PM                     In New Zealand release date for the brand new reel 9 is tomorrow. I had to do a check, (for technical reasons is my excuse) and this is amazing. From the shots of Wormtongue to Helms deep under attack by thousands of Orcs. So many shots & details I will have to wait to receive my promo VCR trailer tape to take it all in. Actually a very cunning marketing ploy to break the $300 million.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 03-27-2002 08:26 PM                        David, is it teaser footage of LotR 2 & 3 tacked on to the end but before the credits? How long is it?  |  IP: Logged Carl King Expert Film Handler Posts: 199 From: Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-27-2002 09:55 PM                     Yep. It's a new reel with a trailer or teaser about the next installment. That's what my manager told me anyway.  |  IP: Logged Jacob Huber Expert Film Handler Posts: 172 From: Evansville, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-27-2002 10:12 PM                     We got a purple sheet telling us about this new reel, with a 5 minute trailer for the next LotR. It said we should be getting the new reel on Thursday. Sadly LotR will not be playing at our theatre on Friday though.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 03-27-2002 10:16 PM                     From my hazy recolection of LOTR it is from Two Towers only. I had all the best intentions of timing it but was caught up in the excitement. (I have no real life.) I guess approx 4 minutes long.  |  IP: Logged Brian Hogan Expert Film Handler Posts: 119 From: Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 03-28-2002 02:55 AM                     yeah... footage from two towers is right there between the final fade out and the credits. we had to run our print through tonight because we got a new one. its great because there has actually been an increase in film gross for LOTR at my theatre for the last couple weeks. this will make it even more because the people will pay to see just that teaser. joy.  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-28-2002 03:09 AM                        The teaser is supposed to be 3 and a half minutes, and was personally cut by Peter Jackson. He may have made it longer, but the intention was for the three and a half minute mark. Dave  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-28-2002 10:25 PM                     I heard about the new trailers for LOTR being attached on a new reel. Does this new reel also include a replacement CD-ROM disc for the LOTR DTS 6-Track "B" disc? It would kind of suck if a new DTS disc was not provided. In the past, Disney provided new DTS discs for 2nd installments of those outtake reels on "A Bug's Life". I don't remember if they did it for "Toy Story 2" or "Monsters, Inc."  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-29-2002 04:11 AM                        I don't remember about Bug's Life, but the new reel #5 audio was already on the original discs for Toy Story 2 and Monsters Inc. The projectionist simply changed the reels (making sure to cut off lots and lots of ID frames because we all know that it is impossible to break a print down without ID frames) and threaded the movie and it was fine.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-29-2002 05:19 AM                     Toy Story II yes, Monsters Inc, no. A new "B" disc was issued for Monsters Inc. What I don't know is if that new "B" disc also has the original reel 5's audio on it, in case the depot accidentally saves one of the original reels for future repertory use. Karen, is it standard practice at dts to put both versions of a new reel on a replacement disc? If not, it would certainly make sense to.  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 03-29-2002 08:23 AM                     The nearest theater to me still running LOTR is a General Cinema -- which this week downgrades LOTR to a double-up with Sorority Boys.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Duvall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-29-2002 09:21 AM                     Am I the only one that got entire new print? Instead, we got an all new print with the new reel and we are to break down the old print and send it back. Strange...  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-29-2002 01:00 PM                     Was it a "new" print, or "another" first 8 reels?  |  IP: Logged
