Anybody know hwere can get a presentable print of Labyrinth? It will not be run on a platter and can be run from 2000 ft reels if necessary. 35mm, 16mm might be considered.

Columbia/Tristar (Sony) owns the rights but Lucasfilm is also involved as well. You may have a difficult time getting that one.

Sony has given us clearance in writing to run it, the problem is they have no prints, good or bad aavailable. We found one privately owned print the owner of which has never seen it on screen, he has no equipment to do so. He will not rent it.

How bizarreCompanies who hold rights to films should be made to keep screenable prints or they lose the rights to PD
Warners don't even have any Gremlins prints and Universal don't have any Smokey And The Bandits
Sad

I doubt, very much that they have no prints. They may mean that they have no prints ( in their office). But, you can't tell me they have no prints. All it takes is a phone call.

You may want them to call Victoria Film Service in Toronto that does the print warehousing here. There was a year ago both a 35 and a 70 there.
Since the bar coding of everything theyseem to have lost count so you may have to insist on an actual rack check

There is at least one print (or was last summer) of GREMLINS out there somewhere.
It played midnights one weekend at the Landmark River Oaks last summer here in Houston.

I know for a fact that there were at least two Gremlins prints out there. I have run it for midnights twice, and the first time I ran it, it was a print that still had the headers and tails attached!I hate the unavailabilty of prints. How can New Line not have a print of ANY of the "Nightmare on Elm St." films at all!?!?
