just saw this movie pop up on a torrent site and was intrigued by the poster, which looks cool as fuck, I mean how many hand-painted movie posters do you see these days?

turns out the director, David Allen, was a stop-motion animator who sadly died of cancer in 1999, so the film was never completed. a few years back some of his colleagues launched a crowdfunded campaign to finish the film and it was finally released last year in theaters and more recently on digital

thought this story was fascinating, the fact that this movie had been in development for 50+ years and shot 30 years ago just now getting released is intriguing. I haven't seen the film yet, but I like stop-motion so I'm gonna check it out later tonight.

anyone seen this one yet?

I love things like this. Movies that don't see the light of day until years after filming. Have you seen New York Ninja? Shot in 1984 and shelved until someone found it in like 2020. It was like 8 hours of film with no sound, full script, storyboards, or actor credits. A director had to edit it down to movie length, reconstruct a script by reading the actors lips, and have all the ADR done.

oh yeah I've heard of that one as well but never got around to seeing it

must be wild to be an actor in one of these movies and get to watch your younger-self's performance for the first time decades later

Man, how have I never heard of this? Looks like a Godfrey Ho film, or Samurai Cop. Definitely going to watch this.

reconstruct a script by reading the actors lips

I'd like to see more comedies try this kind of thing
