Brand New Broadcast Masters of Orphans, and Phantom?

Post by Gagman 66 »

:D Big news! According to deadroll on Nitrateville both THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and ORPHANS OF THE STORM will have brand new broadcast masters from Photo-play Productions debuting on TCM next week! I assume that means just what is implied, "Brand New Transfers, and Region 2 to Region 1 conversions"? On the downside, I don't know who deadroll is, so he may not even know what he is talking about? Let's hope that He does. Here is the link.

:) In addition, there is possible blockbuster news regarding WINGS on DVD. According to more sources on Nitrateville, Paramount is reportedly working on a fresh digital transfer as we speak! So it could actually be forthcoming in 2009. I have no idea though if they have any interest in the Carl Davis score or not? Mr. Davis scores are apparently very expensive. But this afterall is WINGS, and a major video label, so we can only hope it will be included.

:roll: If both 7TH HEAVEN and WINGS beat THE BIG PARADE to an official DVD release that is very hard to believe. On the other hand the Acadamy restoratrion of WINGS was in 2002. THE BIG PARADE restoration wasn't completed until 2004. 7TH HEAVEN was restored in 2001, and a DVD has set on the shelf for the past 4 years un-released. So none of this happened over night.
