I got a confirmation from the distributor that the 35mm print for TRAILER WAR is edited together as a SINGLE movie - not 35 separate trailers. Like I noted, it may not work for the SF Marathon. But, if we bring back the good old Schlock Around The Clock 'thon - it would be perfect!

Still, I can't personally wait to see it. I've already alerted the two theaters in L.A. that would most likely run it.

But, let's post TRAILERS for movies, both, Old and New here. Or, can be for something coming soon.

Here are ones from all three of those categories:

Classic: THE WORLD THE FLESH & THE DEVIL (unbelievably never shown at the Marathon!):

New: SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN (my fave current release; the subject will be profiled on 60 Minutes this Sunday):

Upcoming: TRAILER WAR!

   Sigh.
   Do you actually read what you write?
   If the show is "35 separate trailers" "edited together" & not a PRINT made from those trailers (which would look horrible, BTW), then someone (aka: ME) is going to have to check all those splices, and the aspect ratios, and the sound formats, and the condition of all those trailers so that someone else (aka: YOU) will see a smooth show.
   And thats a lot of work to do on top of all the other juggling I perform that night.
   Kapeesh?
   Plus, it will bore people to tears. Ninety minutes of trailers? Youd have to be a masochist. People walk out now when we're running seventeen minutes' worth of trailers!
   WTFU.

I have seen the future, and it is sucky digital....

Given that Drafthouse is distributing it and they've been putting trailer compilations of this sort together for a long time, I'm reasonably sure that it will be distributed as a single platter-ready print. They're not a dumb group, and I think a little pragmatism on their part can be assumed.

Not that I necessarily want to see it. As much as I've gotten through the entire Fantasia Festival 2012 preview disc (something like three hours of trailers for every one of the 100+ films screening at the festival), I've got a pretty low tolerance for camp, which is almost certainly where "Trailer War" will go.

Happened to watch a buddy's Italian Import DVD of this last night. Longer than the US cut and in the original Italian (with Subtitles):

I have to say that trailer does not do the story justice. Walken and Spacek's couple trapped in a cultural time capsule 1962 are a hoot. I've seen it more than once and think it would be a good fit for the 'thon.

Another, NEVER PLAYED THE MARATHON sci-fi flick - THE GAMMA PEOPLE!

This is one of the more oddball SF films of all time. It's kind of a cross between VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED, Orwell's 1984 and THE MOUSE THAT ROARED. Yes, it's that weird.

I tried to locate a print of this years ago, but, who knows nowadays. Turner Classic Movies has begun to show this the last couple of years.

I think you mean CREATION of the Humanoids.

Never played the Marathon.

We've looked for decades to find a print. Of course, there's always DVD.

It's been called "Andy Warhol's favorite film". The source seems to be this Village Voice article on the movie: http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=GedLAAAAIBAJ&sjid=LIwDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4472%2C33...

Odd looking red suits in this one. But, dig the collar on Kirk's leather jacket in the Trailer!

And, no, STAR TREK III has never played the 'thon:

As I recall, John Larroquette and Christopler Lloyd rocked their roles as Klingons in that one. Still, I count myself among those with a preference for II (Kahn), IV (Save the Whale) and VI (Christopher Plummer's Shakespeare spouting Klingon), which were all penned by Nicholas Meyer. Meyer, who also gave us 'thon standouts "Time After Time" and "Invasion of the Bee Girls" even directed #6. Wink

Speaking of the Trek franchise: The next installment is still clouded in secrecy, but it does, as last, have a title.

Star Trek Into the Darkness (2013)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1408101/

ps. The Khan rumor has been squelched. The latest rumor is Cumberbatch may be playing Gary Mitchell.

I pretty much go with the common wisdom that the better original cast TREK films are the even numbered ones - II, IV & VI

We showed IV, so on to more Red Shirts er....Jackets, not to mention God and the Shat in the director's chair in the odd numbered STAR TREK V.

Seems unlikely; the Star Trek comic from IDW has shown how "Where No Man Has Gone Before" plays out in the new timeline, and between screenwriter/producer Roberto Orci is overseeing the series and IDW being pretty good about working on these things, I'm inclined to think anything that's shown up there is off the table.

huh? it's a safe bet that 2 star trek villains/hero's will be re imagined in st2 . my guess is gary mitchell and harry mudd.
