Considering how fast this one hit its base funding goal, I hope the team at 3-D Film Archive has some stretch goals or more add-ons planned! Hopefully, this also means Cat-Women of the Moon is on deck! Probably not, but one can hope. The Kickstarter is only a day old as of this writing so you have plenty of time to jump into the mix and secure your copy. Perhaps most exciting - 3-D Film Archive is offering up a limited variety of 35-mm film cells sourced from original theatrical prints from 1953! Again, these are very limited and as of this writing a number of the available cells have already sold out - hopefully, they'll offer up some more but these are very cool! I had to go for one myself: $50 more gets you a Retro3D Viewer similar to the one they offered for 3-D Rarities II and September Storm 3-D, these are a lot of fun, and work with old View-Master reels if you have any of those lying around from your childhood. $15 more nets you a new lenticular cover from artist Stewart McKissick (In Development) $30 + $5 for shipping guarantees you a Blu-ray copy (3D Blu-ray Including Polarized and Anaglyph (red/blue) 3D)

The Blu-ray will offer full 3D Blu-ray as well as the film in Anaglyph 3D (red/blue) for those folks without a 3-D television or projector! But that's not all, they're assembling a terrific assortment of bonus features including vintage 3-D shorts, as well as an interview and audio commentary with actor Greg Moffett who played little ruffian Johnny in the film! Robot Monster 3-D Kickstarter Add-Onsīut this being a Kickstarter campaign, 3-D Film Archive has pulled out the stops for extra add-ons! Now the experts at 3-D Film Archive are hard at work restoring this film to its full and proper glory. I've held onto this VHS tape in the hopes that one day a good and proper 3-D Blu-ray would one day appear! Sadly, it's been absent on home video in anything resembling a quality presentation, let alone in proper 3-D. Famous for its gorilla suit and fishbowl creature and the automatic billion bubble machine - Robot Monster features pretty damned impressive three-dimensional photography as well as a score by some random guy named Elmer Bernstein who really never amounted to much as a composer. After being absent from home video, the great team at 3-D Film Archive has launched a Kickster to initiate a full 4K restoration of this film to produce new 3-D Blu-ray and DVD and you can pre-order your copy now! Check Out The Kickster HereĪ film shot on a small budget in the depths of Bronson Canyon Robot Monster is a science fiction delight telling the tall tale of the last family on earth struggling to survive after the intergalactic menace Ro-Man has decimated the world's population for the all-powerful GreatGuidance. But without any irony or sarcasm, there really is only one champion - Phil Tucker's Robot Monster. House of Wax, Hondo, Jaws 3-D - several films over the decades have fought to become the champion 3-D Film of all time. Thank you for your help and encouragement, BleedOrange11.The Best 3-D Film Ever Made Needs Your Help!Įver since Bwana Devilhit in 1952, Hollywood has had an intermittent love affair with Three-Dimensional filmmaking. I am still feeling my way through all the details and trying my best not to develop tunnel vision or come to a premature and erroneous conclusion on any of it. I am feeling a bit like a cold case detective. His name has never come up in any of the literally hundreds and hundreds of pages of correspondence and other records I have.īut. With regards to Frank Tashlin, I have been assured by those who seem to know that my own conclusion is correct, that Tashlin had not one thing to do with the short. I have correspondence between Clampett and Milton Gunzburg from later in the year in which Clampett asks if this short can please be counted as the inaugural production on his contract, even though technically it wasn't. Clampett's Augcontract with Natural Vision required that he put a film in production within a few months. I believe Clampett played a significant collaborative role in the portion of the short involving the Beany and Cecil characters, but I am trying to pin down the full extent of his involvement. It's not that I have no evidence, only that the evidence I have won't likely convince them. I don't have evidence the IMDb is likely to accept to prove that Gunzburg was the sole producer of the film. So maybe we should only delete him from director? Should I link to the letter you just posted for that, or is there any other evidence to send them saying that Gunzburg is the only director? The short credited Clampett as writer (characters & script by) and producer in the card before 'Time for Beany'. Bob Furmanek Forum Resident Thread Starter Location: Clifton, New Jersey, USA Shout Factory has licensed BWANA DEVIL but has no plans for a 3-D blu-ray release. Thread Status: Not open for further replies. They want proof to delete Clampett's name. Bwana Devil Discussion in ' Visual Arts ' started by Bob Furmanek. I submitted Gunzburg as director and writer, and IMDB accepted it.
