Diverse News (Neue XT DVDs, From Beyond DC, Frankenhooker..)

[MPAA]

So!

XT Video veröffentlichte auch noch Fulcis Contraband und den Film Ausgestossen- Frauen im Zuchthaus!

Mehr dazu weiss ich auch noch nicht, doch Contraband hat genau das gleiche Cover wie die MIB DVD, den Zuchthaus werde ich vielleicht kaufen, mal sehen.

---------------------------------------------

Dieses Jahr könnte für From Beyond Fans sehr schön ausfallen, Gerüchte gab es ja schon immer, doch nun will MGM echt einen DC des Gordon Films veröffentlichen!
Hier der Text:
I'm still flying high from the discovery. I've been working on the upcoming DVD release of FROM BEYOND with Greg Carson at MGM and got a call a couple of days before Christmas that they had found some footage. So I went to their postproduction facility in Century City not sure what to expect.

They showed me a small film can full of trims, picture and sound. The can was labeled "For video version" and I recognized the writing of my FROM BEYOND editor Lee Percy. My heart started to race. The trims were threaded up on an old flatbed, and there they were: all the scenes that had been cut by the MPAA nineteen years ago. I had looked for this material in the early 90's but was told it had been thrown out. I assumed it had been lost forever. I almost cried.

The footage includes the complete brain sucking sequence in which Crawford Tillinghast (Jeffrey Combs) sucks out Dr. Bloch's (my wife Carolyn Purdy Gordon) eyeball and spits it out. The eyeball lands on the floor looking up at the camera (it took forever to get that shot). And then we push in on his mouth as he sucks out her brain through her eye socket. I can still remember the lady from the MPAA scolding me about this shot like I was a bad kid sent to the principal's office. "How could you have ever thought we would give you an R rating when instead of cutting away you continue to push in closer and closer AND CLOSER?!"

There is also some extended brain munching, nudity and violence. The only scene that is still missing is one I cut out myself. It occurs early in the film when Crawford goes to tell Dr. Pretorious that the Resonator is working. As Pretorious leaves his bedroom Crawford hears moaning inside and looks in. He sees a beautiful naked young woman trussed up S&M style. In her mouth is a large three-penny nail that has been pounded through her tongue. Crawford frees her and pulls out the nail. She throws a coat over her shoulders and runs out. I cut this scene because I thought the MPAA would never allow such perversion, and now every other kid has a pierced tongue. The lesson I learned is to never censor myself. The good folks at MGM are still looking for this scene.

The plan is to recut the lost footage back into the film and release a Directors Cut. They also plan to release the first wide screen version of FROM BEYOND and are planning a ton of extras to make it comparable to Elite's Millennium Edition of RE-ANIMATOR.

I'll keep you posted on future details.

After such a wonderful Christmas present, I'm hoping this will be a great year for us all."

SS Hell Camp ist nun von Shriek Show gekommen, das Bild leicht besser als bei der Jap. DVD und vor allem alles uncut (also auch unverpixelt)! Leider kein O- Ton, sonst aber sehr gut! Hoffen wir, dass die anderen Titel auch kommen werden!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, für alle Fans von Frankenhooker:

Der Film wird als Code 1 kommen, und zwar von Unearthed Films! Da lann man von einer super Vö ausgehen, Infos poste ich später, komme momentan nicht auf die offizielle HP!

Gruss MPAA

Freude! Wenn MGM einen DC von From Beyond herausbringt - natürlich NOT RATED - kann man auf einen 16:9-Transfer hoffen. Die Dragon-DVD hatte ja dezente schwarze Streifen am oberen und unteren Bildrand und erschien mir eher "open matte". Vielleicht noch einen Audiokommentar zu diesem 80er-Schmankerl. Eine sehr nette Lovecraft-Verfilmung!

EDIT:

BTW erscheint ja Mitte Januar in GB Dark Angel (aka I Come In Peace) von MGM als 18er. Bei play.com für GBP 9.99 gelistet (14.50 Euro etwa). Wird hiervon ein Pendant in D erscheinen? Bin mal gespannt, ob das GB-Teil CUT ist!

So, hier die Infos von der HP:

"Frankenhooker!

Yeah baby! Frank Henenlotter’s best film to date will be given the whole ultimate DVD treatment, as Frank is willing to work with us to make this a true collectors edition with all of the trimmings. This DVD release should be finished rather quickly, in 3 to 4 months then we can start presales which take another 3 to 4 months. Shooting for a Sept / Oct 2005 release just in time for Halloween. All of the materials are around so we won't have to search high a low like we do for some of our films so this will make things easier."

Hört sich vielversprechend an, leider hat mir der Film nicht so gefallen

Für Fans aber sicher sehr lohnenswert!

Gruss MPAA[/list]

ENDLICH!!!

Der Director's Cut zu From Beyond wird endlich erscheinen auf einer DVD würigen Umsetzung!

Neuer Transfer (HD), DD 5.1 und als DC (mit mehr Gore, Schleim und Barbara Crampton).

and given the movie a fresh new look. "The transfer is really stunning," Gordon says. "Mac Ahlberg, the DP, did a beautiful job and it's got all these lurid colors. It was fun to see it again and to see it looking so good. I think it holds up pretty well. Everything that was trimmed by the MPAA is now back in the movie and it was great to see it restored. I had a wonderful feeling after it was done. An enormous sense of relief."

if they could work together to restore the legendary missing footage into a new high-definition transfer

with a new Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack
