The collection features 12 newly restored films (The Floorwalker, The Fireman, The Vagabond, One A.M., The Count, The Pawnshop, Behind the Screen, The Rink, Easy Street, The Cure, The Immigrant, and The Adventurer), all scanned under the aegis of Association Chaplin at a resolution of 2,000 lines from original 35mm prints gathered from archives all over the world, then digitally assembled and restored, a collaborative effort of Lobster Films in Paris and L’Immagine Ritrovata in Bologna, Italy. Each film offers the option of either improvised piano accompaniment or a full orchestral score. Among the many well-known composers and musicians featured are Eric Beheim, Neil Brand, Timothy Brock, Antonio Coppola, Carl Davis, Stephen Horne, Robert Israel, the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, Maud Nelissen, Donald Sosin, and Gabriel Thibaudeau.

5-disc set would mean a Jumbo right?

Does anybody know if Flicker Alley take payment for a pre-order now, or when they ship?

I can't find the answer on their FAQ.

Not too sure, i would personally wait for an amazon link just like what happened with A Trip to the Moon

Ah! okay. But just incase anybody else was wondering about pre-order payments, this is the answer I got from Flicker Alley:


"We do charge immediately upon payment for pre-orders. You can, however, cancel your order at whatever time you want, and pre-order pricing is available until the day of release."

all 7 films remastered and on Blu-Ray? This is a 5 disc set which contains both blu and dvd so are there films not on blu-ray?

 

[sirdizzy]

Interesting I could use some Chaplin movies.

 

[Cymon H]

5 discs there is no way its a regular sized steelbook. I hope we can have Wreck or someone contact them and plead to take away the dvd as we don't need them in our steelbook cases anymore. Its been how many years since Blu-ray has been out? Come on man!!!

I agree, it's bloody ridiculous loose the DVDs

Nice pricing for this title but artwork not the best. But still worth it...
