Author Topic: Labyrinth Availability Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 02-16-2002 12:22 AM                     Anybody know hwere can get a presentable print of Labyrinth? It will not be run on a platter and can be run from 2000 ft reels if necessary. 35mm, 16mm might be considered.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Duvall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-16-2002 04:34 AM                     Columbia/Tristar (Sony) owns the rights but Lucasfilm is also involved as well. You may have a difficult time getting that one.  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 02-16-2002 02:53 PM                     Sony has given us clearance in writing to run it, the problem is they have no prints, good or bad aavailable. We found one privately owned print the owner of which has never seen it on screen, he has no equipment to do so. He will not rent it.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

They may mean that they have no prints ( in their office). But, you can't tell me they have no prints. All it takes is a phone call.

Universal has no Smokey prints? ARgghhhhhh! Heh.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-17-2002 12:12 PM                     You may want them to call Victoria Film Service in Toronto that does the print warehousing here. There was a year ago both a 35 and a 70 there. Since the bar coding of everything theyseem to have lost count so you may have to insist on an actual rack check  |  IP: Logged James R. Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-17-2002 02:33 PM                     There is at least one print (or was last summer) of GREMLINS out there somewhere. It played midnights one weekend at the Landmark River Oaks last summer here in Houston.  |  IP: Logged Christopher Finn Film Handler Posts: 20 From: Akron, OH, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 02-18-2002 07:23 PM                     I know for a fact that there were at least two Gremlins prints out there. I have run it for midnights twice, and the first time I ran it, it was a print that still had the headers and tails attached! I hate the unavailabilty of prints. How can New Line not have a print of ANY of the "Nightmare on Elm St." films at all!?!? Chris  |  IP: Logged
