88 Films Italian Collection Restoration Project (indiegogo)

[Ste7en]

Tricky things to predict in all honesty.

I think it'll get to 30k but grind to a halt shortly after. Shame as Beyond the Darkness is the one I'm most interested in (as well as Absurd).

If it gets near 40k there will probably be a last minute flurry of activity as 45 quid for x4 BDs with exclusive slips is a pretty good deal.

They could have a 40k donor. Mr Roth? Who knows...

Very tempting offer, even though I've seen none of these movies. Might very well end up pledging.

I don't know, I thought reaching 30k might give it a boost because then pledgers are guaranteed a better deal? and don't these things tend to have a big boost towards the end too?

Time will tell I guess

I haven't seen any either, but I like what 88 Films do and am slowly collecting the Italian and Slasher classics series so figured why not? Plus I feel I'll likely forget about it after the campaign ends and then it'll be like getting a cool present in the post in a few months time (or presents if they send them seperatley)

They're such teases.

I'm hoping (though it won't happen) that they got some money from a private donor not through Indiegogo and now they only need £30K to restore all 4 films. That would be awesome.

[CouncilSpectre]

Should get to the £30k mark with about two weeks to go.

All 4 might not be out of reach after all!

Hope if this proves to be a success that they take this route more often.

I'm wondering if people will start dropping their pledges in the home stretch if it looks like they're not going to hit 40k, since 45 for 3 or less blu-rays is not such a good deal. I guess the higher level ones are still good. Here's hoping they get to 40k.

[CouncilSpectre]

I don't think there will be any issue in hitting £40k TBH. If anything the pace of pledges has actually increased in the past couple of days.

Might even see another bump when the £30k mark is breached - 3 for £45 but with a high likelihood that it will become 4 for £45 in the next few weeks.

I think there will always be people who hold off to see if it actually looks like it will hit 40k before they donate, so i think that it is likely there will be a sudden and large amount donated when it gets closer.

So far £29,580 GBP raised by 518 backers!

Could it hit 30k today?

Fingers crossed

If funding continues at the same rate as the past few days, it could hit £31k

£30,045 now.

Awesome
This is so exciting, I check this campaign as often as I check my mails (which is way to often)
I went with the Level 1 and the Slasher Special, was really hoping it would hit 30k as I really want the first three discs the most.
Not the biggest fan of Buio Omega, but of course I hope it get's the remaster as well.

[mattyl149]

I've got my £45 to add as well. I can easily afford it now, but I want to have it on my next credit card statement so I will wait a couple of days

[Flack999]

Guess lot's of people got paid today (or were just waiting for it to hit 30k) - another 800 pounds in just a few hours. At 30,730 at the moment

How would they do an additional film? It'd just get remastered but you'd have to buy it separately? You'd buy an additional perk to get it wether or not it got remastered or not? I don't think they'd include it in the £45 Level 1 perk.

Edit: I suppose they could just add an additional £55-£60 perk that would include all 5 if they made it to £50k since people can upgrade their perks to more expensive ones.

[CouncilSpectre]

Well, that's £32k passed (£32,055).

That's about £3k it's taken in the last 24 hours!

OK, so how long will we have to wait until these hit the streets after all is said and done? 2 years maybe?

Says within 6 months of being funded....

[Edgeworth]

Pay day for me today, just dropped my 45 bones. Hopefully see a spike if other people just got paid too, can make that 40k eaaaaasy.
