I still think the opening 600ft of saving P Ryan would be a fantastic all action reel which would stan alone really well as "The D Day landing". Go for it

Hi Mark. Yes I know Phil is ill at present and I'm sure that we all wish him well, with his treatments.
The point made, was not intimated that he should respond "personally", "at this moment in time", but that a response "in general, to the forum, from the distributors, would be welcome.
This forum is a ready made customer base and as such should, in my opinion, be monitored and responded to. It is the equivilant to ahving a canvaser on the street corner, who is offering "help" to further the hobby, if we can.
How are we to know, as a group, what the distributors think about our suggestions if they don't respond?
If one person rings up and asks for the "Private Ryan" release, then, to them, it's one person and therefore doesn't carry much weight. However, the forum, as I've already said, is a bunch of "hard core" enthusiasts and a ready made customer base.
I don't know what the true answer is to getting releases sorted. Without a response from the distributor/dealer. how can we move forward?
Perhaps all the forum members, who are going to the Blackpool Convention, can each put our "requests" personally, to Adrian, Ged, Gary and Phil?

Hi Keith I aggree with you entirely and thats why we need to go to them, put the word out to print contacts etc and ask what they may have the option for then go ready with a firm number of buyers and an upfront deposit sort of thing would help.
Releasing anything is a really big gamble for either of the UK two now.
Best Mark.

Sorry to hear Phil is sick. I wish him a quick recovery.

Spiderman 2 - train sequence-

Now THAT would have been an excellent release. It would probably have fit onto a 400 foot reel, and so would be affordable as well. A title like that would certainly sell better than "End of Days" [Roll Eyes]

.

Come to think of it, was "End of Days" requested by anyone on the "Derann is asking..." thread? I don't even remember seeing that title requested one time.

Yet, a scene from Spiderman 2 would seem like a much lower-risk title, since the movie was very popular, well-liked, and that particular scene is well-lit with lots of colors. I think it would be a very good selling extract.

James.
