Bob, just saw a post from the 3DFilmArchive on facebook mentioning a new re-release of this movie with new special features. Can you talk a little more about it here? What can we expect?
P.S. - For those interested and not following the 3DFilmArchive over on FB, here is what they had to say. It's gonna be a great 3D future for us.
In August 2013, I posted this solemn update: "For the past 18 months, I've had nothing but rejections and lack of interest in our 3-D holdings.”
While working at Olive Films in 2014, the great Frank Tarzi took a chance on our first release, DRAGONFLY SQUADRON. Since then, we’ve averaged three restorations a year and are truly busier than ever before!
Current restorations on the stereoscopic operating table include;
1. HYPERSPACE - work is finished and currently in digital cleanup.
2. MONEY FROM HOME - Including a new documentary short on this complex six-strip Technicolor restoration from Sean Thrunk at Crimson Mountain Productions.
3. THE BUBBLE - Arch Oboler’s uncut 112 minute version with a newly discovered (and never before seen) 3-D bonus short from 1953.
4. DRAGONFLY SQUADRON - new restoration and bonus features including Sol Lesser’s TRI-OPTICON 3-DIMENSION.
5. THE STEWARDESSES - reissue with new 3-D bonus features.
6. Silver Age title to be announced very soon.
Titles in the restoration pipeline include;
1. SOUTHWEST PASSAGE
2. CAT-WOMEN OF THE MOON
And last, but certainly not least, there is a strong possibility for a 2026 release of the highly anticipated third volume in our acclaimed 3-D RARITIES series. Standby for updates in the near future on this very exciting announcement!
