| Hi, I'm a private collector of lost movies (and video games), a passion started and passed down by my grampa. He started preserving alternate/edited/scrapped film reels back in the 50s thanks to his connections in the movie industry; it was an obsession of his to play these reels to my dad when he was a kid. I joined the wiki in the hopes of donating what I can to the cause. A lot of the items in my collections have either been digitally preserved by myself, or are still in good condition. Others (like on-set photos of Cannibal Holocaust) are either in legal limbo or are too damaged/sensitive to be released. In alphabetical order here's some of what '''I HOPE''' to be able to release:
| |
|
| |
|
| Cannibal Holocaust on-set photographs (heavily damaged by water, mostly group pictures)
| |
|
| |
| Cleopatra (1917) - Fragment of Octavius (good condition, but I mean literally a fragment) - This is a portion of film strip given to actor Henri De Vries' family after his passing by an unknown person. It was bought by my grandfather from a collector and makes up a 4-inch long strip with a few frames of Octavius looking down at, presumably, Cleopatra with an expression of disappointment
| |
|
| |
| Duck Soup (excellent condition, copy of tape) - Donated to BFI Archives in the UK, I still own the copy from the original 35mm print
| |
|
| |
| Long Walk to Forever (digital, unknown?) - Okay so this is a weird one. I bought a bunch of old films in collection circles back in 2010, looking for a complete cut of Caligula. I came across an Ebay listing saying they had copied a "lot of stuff" on DVD including Caligula so I bought it. Long Walk to Forever was among these, but I have no idea if this is cut down, a restoration or anything of the sorts. Kurt Vonnegut's estate has never replied to me, so this one is in limbo.
| |
|
| |
| Lost Horizon (excellent condition, full runtime, copy of tape + digital backup) - I actually think there may have been a handful of production reels. Legend has it the first two reels were destroyed, but from what I've gathered there were as many as EIGHT production copies.
| |
|
| |
| Nuts in May (great condition, 8 minutes missing, original tape + digital backup)
| |
|
| |
| The She-Devil & Salomé (copy of tape + digital backup, bad condition) - Both movies starring Theda Bara AKA Cleopatra from 1917. Salomé is in especially bad condition, and I'm in talks with a preservationist about releasing a digital copy.
