The 88 Films Thread

[JAMIOUSE]

The goal for the campaign has changed, it’s now Beatrice Cenci up for restoration first and 11 Days second. Getting donating people!

I feel like they should have stuck to their guns as there might not be a final push towards the 2nd goal finish because now it's for the lesser of two films.

While the first scheme was successful beyond anyone's wildest dreams, I think that the finished products left a bitter taste in the mouths of a lot of backers and they're never going to replicate that success here! Once bitten, twice shy...

I think that makes sense. Getting Fulcis CENCI restored on BD would be far preferable to 11 DAYS... which seemed like an odd choice to me.

Going to wait to see if they reach the 2nd goal as i don't fancy paying £40 + £5 postage just for Beatrice Cenci.

Exactly. £45 is a hell of a lot for one disc.

It would appear the campaign isn't going as well as hoped. From saying the incentive was purely the film restorations they are now asking what people would like as perks.

Gone from this -

PERKS

Ok, this time we're keeping this very simple and totally focused on the films being remastered, so no Slasher Specials, Postcard sets or lurid T-Shirts. Hope you appreciate the purity of it.

To this -

Would you like to help the campaign more? Maybe you could suggest some new perks that might tempt you? T-Shirts, posters, Tote bages etc?

Ah, that's quite hamusing ....

Beatrice Cenci though .....

[TJ Doc]

Perhaps they should add a £20 perk where you only get the first two films (no mystery titles) without slipcovers, booklets or special thanks.

ANOTHER update:

"We have decided that if we hit our Fixed Goal of £12,500 (which we NEED to do to make any of this happen) we will send all contributors Blu-rays of both Beatrice Cenci and 11 Days, 11 Nights. Stretch goals have been reduced slightly in ambition too.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed already and we hope you share this campaign with everyone you know as we really want to make this happen.

Quality will be great for both as the negatives are in good condition but all money over and above goal 1 will get spent on manual cleanup."

Sold then ...
