Hal Hartley's HENRY FOOL Trilogy & THE LONG ISLAND Trilogy Boxed Sets -- Kickstarter - Blu-ray Forum

HENRY FOOL Trilogy Boxed-Set
Henry Fool (first time in HD!), Fay Grim, and Ned Rifle—together for ever—in a boxed-set and subtitled in five languages.

The Henry Fool Trilogy boxed-set will be available exclusively from halhartley.com for $100 starting in November 2017. But if you pre-buy your Henry Fool Trilogy boxed-set via this Kickstarter campaign for only $100 (or whatever you wish) you'll receive FREE SHIPPING and get my soon-to-be-released new CD, After The Catastrophe, featuring brand new tracks and new arrangements of tunes from Henry Fool, Fay Grim, and Ned Rifle—and (as of this writing) even some new versions from Trust, The Girl from Monday, and Meanwhile.

Seems way to pricey for my blood at $100 (when it is actually released). The fundraising seems to be for multiple subtitles.

I can't see this selling well at that price point. I'd imagine they'll be trying to unload these after a few months at a discount.

i've been waiting for someone to offer Ned Rifle on "Ray of Blue" other than his site, because he's way too expensive. $100, sigh....don't really need a cd and a bookmark, just some reasonably priced blurays....i'd even settle for Ned on dvd, but a box set is kinda nice.

I guess just save up for the actual release in November.

dissention · 06-13-2017, 08:41 PM

My favorite filmmaker, so he can have my $100.

demonknight · 06-13-2017, 10:38 PM

I love Ned Rifle, but I don't $100 love it. I wanted Criterion to get these, personally. Would've been just as expensive, but at least there'd be the occasional sale.

ingmog · 06-13-2017, 10:57 PM

Ouch, $115 for the blu-ray...

Herry Dunston · 06-13-2017, 11:13 PM

$115 for what's likely bare-bone releases for the movies beyond the booklet. He doesn't seem to be a fan of extras.

javi92 · 06-28-2017, 05:40 PM

This is 50% funded with 14 days to go...

thatguamguy · 10-22-2017, 06:13 PM

Is this still on track for release in November? The website hasn't updated, it's still sending links to the Kickstarter, but I thought maybe somebody who contributed might have gotten word in an E-mail or something.

javi92 · 10-22-2017, 06:16 PM

I haven't seen or heard anything either. It seems to be par for the course with these crowd funding campaigns that you get zero communication and delays though.

Update #37:

I have been working on the non-fiction film WHERE TO LAND so I could include it as part of the Trilogy Boxed-Set. But I have stopped for now because the work of subtitling the three feature films in five languages has proven to be more challenging than we expected. I want to make sure we do that well and that we can ship the Trilogy at the end of November as promised.

The work on the Trilogy is progressing but it takes all of my time and energy. So I am not going to include WHERE TO LAND in the Boxed-Set. I will continue work on it once we complete the Trilogy and deliver all the rewards to you backers. Once WHERE TO LAND is completed, it will be available for free to all $100 tier and higher backers from halhartley.com.

But the Trilogy boxed-set will include the very excellent and rarely seen shorter documentary, Making Fay Grim (or How Do You Spell Espionage?). It will be subtitled in all the languages. And there will be another, very short film of us shooting Ned Rifle which has almost no dialogue.
Making Fay Grim is the most informed and in-depth discussion of the Trilogy yet made - even though Ned Rifle had not yet been shot or even written! But we talk about the third film - which would not be made for another seven years. Edited and produced by Kyle Gilman, it is also the best study of how I work on set with actors and crew.
After all this, I will be better able to make WHERE TO LAND.
Thanks.
Hal

The box set is now listed on halhartley.com, but I don't see any way to order it.

I received one of the kickstarter rewards in the mail yesterday, the "After the Catastrophe" cd.

The cd also came with a halhartley.com sticker and included a note with the following:

Quote:

It won't be too long! The box set of the Henry Fool Trilogy will ship in the weeks to come. But we wanted you to have your other rewards as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience. And Happy Holidays!

It is now available for purchase from HalHartley.com and Amazon. http://halhartley.com/productions/de...y-Fool-Trilogy

I'll wait until they inevitably try to discount the hell out of it because they aren't selling at this price.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm in the same boat as you though. I'd like this but there is no way I could justify it at that price.

javi92 · 02-19-2018, 09:06 PM

No doubt backers will get theirs after the general public

cropduster · 03-01-2018, 12:08 PM

Received my kickstarter copy of this yesterday!

thatguamguy · 03-01-2018, 02:36 PM

I'm curious how the framing of "Henry Fool" compares to the DVDs. The UK DVD was "director approved" at 1.33 (but was NTSC to PAL), the US DVD was cropped to 1.78 from a fullscreen version (not sure if it was the same fullscreen version), and apparently the theatrical OAR was 1.66.

demonknight · 03-01-2018, 06:41 PM

I would very much like this, but it’s $100 for the DVD version! And the extras aren’t very good, so it doesn’t exactly seem like a great deal. Wish Hartley licensed the trilogy out to Criterion. Seems right up their alley.

Flack999 · 03-01-2018, 09:54 PM

Wow, that is exciting, I didn't know this was released.
I'd also prefered if this was getting a regular Criterion or Artificial Eye release cause the price is way too high.
I will probably get it sooner or later though, gonna wait for some reviews/opinions first.
