Author Topic: World 3-D Film Expo (September 12-21, 2003) Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-11-2003 09:38 PM                     I am creating this "sticky" thread for Jeff Joseph at Sabucat. The reason for the topic being posted so early is so people can plan their vacations and trip to California if they would like to attend. This is a rare show indeed and may be one of the last public 3-D performances ever. Everyone may use this as a normal forum thread for discussion. Just click "post reply" as always. 3-D Film Festival Website  |  IP: Logged Paul Trimboli Master Film Handler Posts: 274 From: Perth Western Australia Registered: Dec 2002 posted 05-11-2003 11:41 PM                     I love 3D and wish I could fly over and watch the film festival. The films really need to be transfered to digital becuase with a computer it is very possible to fix the problems from when they filmed it, registration errors ect. They could then be reprinted on film and preserved! These are peices of history they we should never lose!  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 05-12-2003 12:17 AM                     Actually, the dates are from September 12-September 21.  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 05-12-2003 12:49 AM                        WOW!!!! I sure wish I can take in the entire series. The cost of the tickets would not be too bad but buying plane tickets, hotel for ten days, car rentals plus my work schedule will force me to pass on this great 3-D series. I recall seeing "DRUMS OF TAHITI", "CHARGE AT FEATHER RIVER" and "ROBOT MONSTER" in regular 2D when they were first released and did not know the films was originally photographed in 3-D until I saw the film and noticed the 3-D effects. After I watched the movies, I took a close look at the movie posters and lobby cards and sure enough, all mention of 3-D was covered over with tape or blacked off with a marker. All of the movies that are scheduled are great but why was "HONDO", that great John Wayne film not included? -Claude  |  IP: Logged Jeff Joseph Expert Film Handler Posts: 131 From: Palmdale, CA, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 05-12-2003 12:52 AM                        Most of the material is owned by various Hollywood studios who do not currently have interest in working with 3-D video. And of course, we can't transfer this material to video or computer files; it's mostly under copyright. While some of this material has been preserved (the bigger titles like "House of Wax" and so on), many no longer survive in the 3-D format. Some negatives have been lost, others destroyed over the years. A very sad story. For the titles that are the "last surviving prints", well, this is it. One screening of each print. It's very likely at least half of the 33 features that we're running will NEVER be screened in 3-D again. And by the way, we are also running a number of very rare shorts, including the 2 Disney cartoons and "Adventures of Sam Space", which was heretofore considered a "lost" film. Regarding "Hondo": Michael Wayne owns this. He refused to clear it... then he died. And his estate is "honoring his wishes".

Don't they understand how they are such an important part of cinema history?  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

"Ro-Man" has a diving helmet on his head and wears an ape costume! Or was that picture taken when you attended the Japanese Monster Movie Festival?  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 05-12-2003 05:29 PM                        Hi Jeff, I did not know Michael Wayne had passed away. When did this happen? Michael Wayne had a strange way of handling the right to his late father's best films that people want to see the most. Much of John Wayme's older films are easily accessible but why has the rights to films such as "THE HIGH & THE MIGHTY and "HONDO" held under tight control by the Wayne estate? -Claude  |  IP: Logged Jeff Joseph Expert Film Handler Posts: 131 From: Palmdale, CA, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 05-12-2003 05:41 PM                        There are 4 Wayne titles, including "Hondo" that are owned by the Wayne estate. I don't know why, but I suppose John Wayne had enough clout to get ownership. Michael died just a few weeks ago. We had been in discussions to run "Hondo", but he was very much against it. The sad thing is: He struck a brand new print, so all we needed was permission to run it. He was convinced that it needed a big reissue... Jeff  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 05-12-2003 06:11 PM                        Michael Wayne appears to have been a very short sighted person because the 3-D festival in September at the Egyptian would have been a perfect way to re release "HONDO" and give it the kind of "Big Bang" opening he had wanted the film to receive. What a sad case of missed opportunity. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-12-2003 07:51 PM                  Christian, You can thank my ex-friends, Michael Shaffer, Brad Miller, and Daryl O...whatever his name is for that! But it does provide me some flak protection since some here think I stir the pot up with my posts. I would NEVER post anything controversial! I'm too shy. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Kevin Baglow Expert Film Handler Posts: 135 From: Yeppoon Qld, Australia Registered: Dec 2000 posted 05-13-2003 04:56 AM                        This sounds like a must see to me. Will have to get organized and go. Looking foward to meeting fellow film techers.  |  IP: Logged
