He did one for that Dark Tower game. I loved that game.

There is an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to raise $2 million in order to complete The Other Side of the Wind, Welles' last film. I just gave them $50 and that gets you a dvd/blu of the finished film.

Let's show them some love DVDTalk: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/o...lles-last-film

I'm in for $50.

Could Welles' daughter Beatrice be the hold up? Wasn't she the reason Ambersons took so long to come out?

Re: Orson Welles Centennial
 

I'm pretty sure she claimed ownership of Journey (along with Kane and Ambersons) at some point, but I thought all of those issues had been settled. WB seemed like they were interested in releasing it a few years ago and never did. I've read that the elements need some work before a proper release could be done, but I don't know the source of that info. Who knows, maybe it's one of the WB films that Criterion allegedly were able to license.

$2,000,000 goal, eh?

I hope they get it.

Re: Orson Welles Centennial
 

So TCM HD aired The Chimes at Midnight and the Janus logo ran before it. Is that anything new, or do they just have the TV rights? It was 1.78 instead of 1.66, unfortunately, and the so-called HD of TCM HD is only sort of HD.

Re: Orson Welles Centennial
 

Thanks for telling me :(

Sorry, I just know by combing my U-Verse app. Amazes the hell out of me after years of sitting in the basement changing out VHS tapes to record. We live in an amazing time.

I just learned that Friday would have been Joseph Cotten's 110th birthday. Coincidentally, I spent much of the day working on a piece on his film, PORTRAIT OF JENNIE (1948) for Saturday's My Favorite Classic Film blogathon celebrating National Classic Film Day and hosted by the Classic Film & TV Café.

I just accidentally deleted it from my DVR if it's any consolation to you :(.

:brick:.

Re: Orson Welles Centennial
 

TCM just ran Chimes at Midnight in HD in 1.66 with the Janus logo. I suppose it's too much to hope that Criterion might be getting a hold of it?

Re: Orson Welles Centennial
 

Thanks again :)

Re: Orson Welles Centennial
 

It's getting released by somebody. Nothing has been officially announced at this point, but it is heavily rumored that Criterion has it. They are definitely releasing Othello.

Re: Orson Welles Centennial
 

Honestly... I've never heard of Janus outside of CC. They aren't part of CC?

Sorry :(.

I have GOT to figure out some way of getting stuff off of that damn DVR...
