Author Topic: What's a Freezer Print? Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 06-19-2004 02:05 AM                     Received our subrun print of Man on Fire Thursday nite. The ETS shipping label had Freezer Print in the lower right corner. If the heads and tails had not been cut this print could pass for unused.  |  IP: Logged Richard Greco Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1180 From: Plant City, FL Registered: Nov 2003 posted 06-19-2004 06:52 AM                     Freezer was the "fake" title for Man On Fire. It is just like how LOTR was titled, "From Death Till Glory". I'm sure there is a thread here somewhere about fake titles. I just woke up. I'm too tired to find it.  |  IP: Logged Edward Jurich Master Film Handler Posts: 305 From: Las Vegas USA Registered: Jul 2003 posted 06-19-2004 09:06 AM                     Fake titles to fool someone that might try to bootleg a print during shipment.  |  IP: Logged Dean Kollet Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 591 From: Florida State University Registered: Jul 2003 posted 06-19-2004 12:55 PM                     yeah....just sometimes I don't think they need to do it... 13 going on 30 was Sugar and Spice? C'mon Van Helsing (which makes a little more sense) was Vatican Detective And of Course LOTR, but sometimes it's a little overkill eh?  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 06-19-2004 01:14 PM                    Decoy titles  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-23-2004 05:16 PM                        quote: Bill Enos Received our subrun print of Man on Fire Thursday nite.

Immediately call up and tell them that they sent the wrong print and that the one you have needs to be returned to cold storage forthwith.
