Quote from ejgreen77

Maybe Collins could work to help get financing to restore the film? Just a thought.
BTW, does anyone know whatever happened to that project? Robert Harris sounded like he was all set and ready to go, and they were even collecting donations for financing, then the whole thing seemed to drop off the face of the planet. I haven't heard anything about it for over a year.

I haven't heard nor seen a thing on all the websites I frequent. I am guessing that the economy has something to do with any holdup's on the project. I just hope that it doesn't get placed to far on the back burner.

Quote from Alamo John UK

This is a film that must be saved. there is a forum that I belong to which is solely dedicated to this great movie, it is a very small forum which has only been going for about 6 months and only has about 60 or so members but the info and knowledge and love pertaining to the film here is second to none.

I feel sure that should you inform them of this ongoing fundraising campaign the response would be a positive one.

I am not keen on the practice of coming onto forums and preaching the virtues of others, but in this instance perhaps the mods here will forgive me for doing so as hopefully the ends will justify the means.

I don't think the mods would have any problems with posting that link.

I do think to save Robert Harris from having to post on multiple site's that if you could just post a link to our thread here or post the link that Robert posted on this thread to the Jacob Burns Film Center http://www.burnsfilmcenter.org/ at your web forum. That way your member's will have way to contribute.

Thanks.

Robert,

Thanks again for coming on board and giving us a chance to help. See you around.

I know I have kind of taken over this thread but if anyone else has any ideas. Feel free to post them. My biggest reason for seeming so passionate is that I have always heard about the full length version and have wanted to see it forever. I really hope they can pull this off.

I received a email back from Bill Hunt and Robert Harris. Robert Harris is the person who is heading up the project and who wrote the article over on www.thedigitaldits.com . Here is a link if you haven't had a chance to look at it yet: http://www.thedigitalbits.com/…tharris/harris032009.html .

Robert is now a registered user here and will be posting a link here or hopefully any other info concerning the restoration project for "The Alamo" as soon as that informatoin becomes available.

Maybe we can create a seperate forum for this project os it's easier to get to???? Just a thought. So if you see Robert Harris around here, that is who he is.

I have contacted Bill Hunt, the person who wrote the article on The Digital Bit's. I wanted him to know that we had a great community over here and I am sure we could drum up some support for the restoration project. And since not everyone was a home theater enthusiast, having a link to the film restoration contribution site on our forum would drum up even more support from the John Wayne fan base here. I will post his response to me, if any, once I hear back from him.

I will say this, this is a very exciting undertaking and one that all of us fan's of the Duke would do well to contribute something, even as little as a couple dollars, to bring this movie back to it's full uncut glory.
