 |
|
Ich habe die ersten Details zur Neuauflage der "M"-DVD von Eureka / Masters of Cinema auf TLEfilms gefunden:
| Zitat: | Also, British label Eureka is planning a re-release of the TLEFilms DVD production of Fritz Lang's classic "M", this time containing the 95-minute TLE documentary THE HUNT FOR "M", with a new, vastly improved cleanup and encoding of the 2003 master, supervised all the way by TLEFilms, and to be issued as part of the "Masters Of Cinema" releases as a 2-Disc set. The release date is yet to be determined.
"M" was mastered from the very best, completely restored 35mm film elements available and transferred on a High Definition Spirit Datacine. See a comparison of the German release, based on the 2001 restoration, the Criterion 2004 DVD and the TLE master based on the 2003 transfer using the completely restored elements HERE. |
| Zitat: | In 2003, Eureka asked TLEFilms to search for a better master on Fritz Lang's classic "M". The 2002 transfer to Digital Betacam made for the German DVD distributor was checked and quickly discarded; the transfer had several problems, mainly in gray scale and density as well as several major cleanup errors.
With the help of "M" 35mm film restoration supervisor Martin Koerber TLEFilms verified that the best existing source was a just finished, completely picture-stabliized 35mm archival fine grain print that was corrected in months-long work at the renowned film restoration facility L'Image Ritrovata in Bologna. That print was still in pristine, mint condition when we transferred it at Taurus Medien Technik in Munich, Germany on a High Definition Spirit Datacine.
The first cleanup of the film was made in 2003 in Australia by ILM, but the results of the encoding were never really satisfactory to TLEFilms. In 2005, Eureka again approached TLEFilms, exploring the possibilities for a new DVD edition under the Masters Of Cinema issues. A completely new cleanup, digital restoration of damaged frames and a new encoding and authoring under the supervision of TLEFilms is currently in the final phase.
These are the contents TLEFilms produced for the Eureka 2-Disc Set:
‡ New digital transfer from the best existing restored 35mm film elements
‡ Completely restored version (107 Minutes @ 25fps PAL) including several missing sequences - framed at full aperture in the correct Aspect Ratio of 1.19 : 1
‡ Meticulously restored German language track (improved English subtitles available)
‡ Exclusive, new audio commentary track moderated by TLEFilms senior producer Torsten Kaiser; featuring Hollywood director and author Peter Bogdanovich, film restoration supervisor Martin Koerber and rare audio interview segments with Fritz Lang, recorded by Peter Bogdanovich in the 1960s
exclusive, new documentary:
‡ "The Hunt For 'M'" (95 Minutes) Retracing the actual murder cases and the murderer that the film is based on - and the restoration of the film
plus:
‡ Exclusive, 40-Minute Interview segment of Fritz Lang being interviewed by Peter Bogdanovich in the 1960s
‡ Photo Gallery
‡ 35-Minute documentary interview (1962) "Zum Beispiel Fritz Lang" featuring a (optionally subtitled) filmed interview with Lang, transferred from the best available 35mm elements on a High Definition Spirit Datacine
For more on the documentary, click here for "The Hunt For 'M'" (95 Minutes).
"M" is available from Eureka in the U.K. - however, the release date of the Masters Of Cinema issue featuring the new cleanup & encoding and more extras is yet to be determined. |
The Hut for 'M'
| Zitat: | Made in 2003, this feature-length documentary tells for the first time the story of the murderer and the murder cases that were the initial basis for the making of "M".
Legendary German director Fritz Lang and his then-wife Thea Von Harbou were at first working on something entirely different, when they came across the newspaper reports of the horrific murders in the western part of Germany back in 1929. By 1930, the script had changed from the devious deeds of a poison-pen letter writer to something much more serious: a child killer.
Following the actual case as it was layed out more than 70 before in a German courtroom, "The Hunt For 'M'" retraces the steps of the real-life and the fictioonal murderer in detailed comparisons - reality-to -screen, if you will.
Narrated by Barry Morse, an icon of the British stage and international TV and film productions himself (he personified Capt. Gerard opposite David Janssen in "The Fugitive" and was also part of the 1st season cast of "Space 1999") the 95-minute account of "M" focuses in the second part on "The Hunt For The Fil'M' Elements". Here, featuring interviews with Lang associates, biographers such as Hollywood director Peter Bogdanovich, and 35mm restoration supervision Martin Koerber the whole story about the many troubles of these film elements is told for the first time.
Banned by the Nazis in 1934, almost destroyed during the war and the frame composition badly affected by poor printing in the 1960s, "M" was cut but almost 20 Minutes. In this second part, TLEFilms followed the steps of the restoration and the transfer especially made on a High Definition Spirit Datacine for the Eureka DVD issue 2003, which was supervised by TLEFilms, all the way, with detailed comparisons. |
Die News bezüglich der Neuauflage habe ich unterstrciehn. Die restlichen "News" beziehen sich noch auf das bisherige 2-DVD-Set, allerdings werden die Extras auch auf der MoC-DVD zu finden sein.

Ich habe die Infos auch ins Criterion-Board gestellt.
"peerpee" von Masters of Cinema hat folgendes dazu geschrieben:
| Zitat: | TLEFilms have hugely jumped the gun here. Nothing is currently planned, especially not something "supervised all the way by TLEFilms".
They have been asked to remove this false information from their website. |
Ich bezweifle, daß die Infos falsch sein sollen. Warum sollte TLEFilms das sonst schreiben. Ich glaube einfach, daß MoC noch nicht möchte, daß Infos darüber an die Öffentlichkeit gelangen.
