Author Topic: Shrek 4 - they listened about the locked can Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-17-2010 02:32 PM                        Well some good news from Deluxe this morning -- Shrek 4 will have one locked can, but the UNLOCKED can will have the trailers and reels 1 & 2. So maybe some of our gripes from Iron Man 2 got to the right place.  |  IP: Logged Matt Johnston Film Handler Posts: 37 From: Fort Myers, FL Registered: Oct 2009 posted 05-17-2010 04:50 PM                     I saw this earlier. Can't say that I'm happy, but definitely better than the alternatives. I wonder when the hard drives will be delivered for 3D shows....  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Good news is the keys will be out 2 days early.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-17-2010 06:46 PM                        They really should ship it on two separate hard drives. The odd minutes on one and the even minutes on the other. One of the drives will have a padlock on it. Knowing the studios, it would be a magnetic lock.  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 05-17-2010 10:27 PM                        Oh Joe, you never cease to amuse me.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: Boulder Creek, CA.

Hit with hammer. Lock pops open without breaking it.  |  IP: Logged Geena Phillips Expert Film Handler Posts: 198 From: Norcross, GA / USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 05-20-2010 11:35 AM                        So, did anyone else's Deluxe depot get this exactly backward? All three of my prints, at two locations, had reels 1&2, plus the trailers, in the locked can. Dipshits.  |  IP: Logged Ross Oba Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Kailua Kona, HI Registered: Oct 2005 posted 05-20-2010 10:51 PM                     Our print was "correctly" locked, however none of the combos worked. I called them and they told me to use bolt cutters to open it. You'd think after years of this practice they would do it properly.  |  IP: Logged
