Re: [MOPO] R2D2 Just Sold at Auction

I recall that, Glenn. And remember the book put out, a number of years ago, by Philip J. Riley. He also did a reconstruction book of the film, also based on stills, shooting script etc, back in 2011. Amazon still offers it for sale:

Re: [MOPO] R2D2 Just Sold at Auction

A number of years ago TCM did a recreation of LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT using stills. It was pretty interesting. I believe it's available on the Lon Chaney box set. GT On Sat, Jul 1, 2017 at 7:37 PM, Jeff Potokar wrote: > I have no doubt that if a print was found, cleaned up,

Re: [MOPO] R2D2 Just Sold at Auction

I have no doubt that if a print was found, cleaned up, restored, if need be, and a cool original score was written for it, that it would do very well on the indie and cult circuits.. and could do even better than that, since a copy hasnt been screened in so many decades. I for one, would

I think there is always a possibility that a print might be found in a foreign archive... we can only hope. It would be great to see, even though reviews from the time described it as a bit dull and slow. maybe all this time later, were a print to be found, audiences might look past the

Congrats on the win, Paul. And with the cheapest still selling for $4000.00, that truly says something about what the Browning Collection was all about. Were all the stills of the same type (double weight) and wonderful condition? On Jun 29, 2017, at 1:14 PM, Paul W. Hazen wrote: I'm a

I'm a Kubrick collector mostly so I won the "Lolita" stills lot. Really only needed 2 of the 10 stills but I figure I can turn around the others pretty easily. They had about 250-300 stills and other items from the Browning collection which I think was 157 lots. Probably about 35-40 lots on
