Date: August 6, 2006

September 8-17, 2006.: World 3-D Expo II at the Egyptian Theatre in
Hollywood

The new prints of the 3-D features and shorts have been coming in from the
film labs and they look tremendous! "Taza, Son of Cochise" looks like it
was shot yesterday; a stunning new print. And "Those Redheads From
Seattle" looks BETTER than the original dye-transfer prints did in 1953!
These 50 year old negatives are holding up remarkably well, allowing us to
show them properly, in 3-D, for the first time in over 50 years.

We'll be posting the "special guests" list as we get confirmations, but so
far we can mention:

Rhonda Fleming and the Bell Sisters will be coming to "Those Redheads From
Seattle" on Friday, September 8. Leonard Maltin will conduct the Q&A.

Kathleen Hughes is confirmed for "It Came From Outer Space" on Saturday,
September 9.

Stars Christina Hart and William Basil are confirmed for "The Stewardesses"
on Saturday, September 9, as are crew members Allan Silliphant
(producer/director/writer) and Chris Condon (producer/cinematographer).

Mamie Van Doren will be here for "Hawaiian Nights" (short subject playing
with "Miss Sadie Thompson") on Sunday, September 10.

Kathleen Hughes will also be attending "The Glass Web" on Monday, September
11.

Earl Holliman is planning to attend "Devil's Canyon" on Monday, September
11.

For "House of Wax" on Tuesday, September 12, Paul Picerni will be there.

Biff Elliot, star of "I, the Jury", will be attending on Wednesday,
September 13.

Jim O'Keefe, son of director/actor Dennis O'Keefe, will be attending the
screening of "Diamond Wizard" on Wednesday, September 13. "Diamond Wizard"
never had a 3-D playdate anywhere in the world until now! Jim was an extra
on the film, which was shot in England.

Julie Adams will be attending the 3-D repremiere of "Wings of the Hawk" on
Thursday, September 14.

Of course, as mentioned previously, Slick Slavin will make his first public
appearance in decades for "Stardust in Your Eyes" (short subject playing
with "Robot Monster") on Saturday, September 16.

Udo Kier, the star of Paul Morrissey's "Frankenstein" is confirmed for
Saturday, September 16.

For "Cease Fire" on Sunday, September 17, something very special: Some of
the actual soldiers who appeared in the film (and members of their
families) will be attending.

Rhonda Fleming will also be attending the World 3-D Premier of "Jivaro" on
Sunday, September 17.

And Warren Stevens will be appearing for "Gorilla at Large" on Sunday,
September 17.

More guests are expected to confirm in the next week or two.

We will be updated the website as guests confirm and will send out another
email in about 2 weeks.

system; like Expo I, all of the "Golden Age" features and shorts will be
shown in 35mm and in the "double interlock" Polaroid System, the original
method (and still the very best method) for showing these films.

UPDATE FROM SABU CAT & JEFF JOSEPH:

Only Limited Seats Available For Many Films!

This year’s Expo includes:

Those Redheads From Seattle
Opening Night Film
Friday September 8, 2006 7:30PM
Starring Rhonda Fleming, Gene Barry, Teresa Brewer, The Bell Sisters
The first musical ever shot in 3D, THOSE REDHEADS FROM SEATTLE is a wild, fun story about what happens when a mother moves to the Yukon with her four girls during the Gold Rush. The film features terrific songs from the legendary Johnny Mercer (“Laura,” “Moon River”), and the songwriting team of Jay Livingston and Ray Evans (“Silver Bells,” “Que Sera Sera”)
Following the screening, Rhonda Fleming and The Bell Sisters will participate in a Q & A moderated by Leonard Maltin

Creature From The Black Lagoon
Only limited seats available
Sunday September 10, 7:00PM
Starring Richard Carlson, Julia Adams
The last great Universal Horror Monster, the Creature is both scary... and sympathetic. This is a truly terrific film, not to be missed. If you've only seen this film in anaglyphic (red/blue), you haven't really seen it!

Dial M For Murder
Only limited seats available
Saturday September 16, 2006 6:30PM
Starring Ray Milland, Grace Kelly, Robert Cummings
A Hitchcock classic, rarely seen in 3-D. Hitchcock purportedly was not happy with being forced by Jack Warner to shoot this in 3- D, but the results are a stage play with depth; the 3-D enhances this thriller and Hitchcock's disregarding of "gimmick shots" (mostly) adds to the creepiness.

The Glass Web
Monday September 11, 7:00PM
Starring Edward G. Robinson, John Forsythe, and Kathleen Hughes
Edward G. Robinson and John Forsythe star in Universal's and director Jack Arnold's second 3-D feature. This is one of the first films dealing with television production... and it's complicated by murder... in 3-D!

House of Wax
Only limited seats available
Tuesday September 12, 9:45PM
Starring VINCENT PRICE, PHYLLIS KIRK, FRANK LOVEJOY
Fifty years later, HOUSE OF WAX still thrills, entertains, and reveals stereoscopic wonder. Advertised as the "First 3-D Film from a Major Studio", WAX was and still is the quintessential 3-D film. Although the one-eyed director de Toth couldn't see 3-D, he understood perspective and framing better than many cameramen.

It Came From Outer Space
Only limited seats available
Saturday, September 9, 2006 6:30PM
Starring Kathleen Hughes, Richard Carlson, Barbara Rush
Based on a story by Ray Bradbury, “It Came From Outer Space” is a highly atmospheric film which stands on it own without 3-D. Director Jack Arnold spares the 3-D gimmicks, allowing a few "natural" effects to remind us its a 3-D adventure. Presented in stereophonic sound, only at the Expo!
Kathleen Hughes will participate in a Q&A preceding the screening

Jivaro
World 3-D Premiere!
Sunday September 17, 7:00PM
Starring FERNANDO LAMAS, RHONDA FLEMING, RITA MORENO
Jungle headhunters in the actual Amazon jungle highlight this Technicolor adventure. This film was NEVER released in 3-D anywhere in the world: this will be the World 3-D Premiere! Brand new print

Kiss Me Kate
Only Limited Seats Available
Starring Howard Keel, Kathryn Grayson, Ann Miller
Friday September 15, 7:00PM
MGM's big 3-D production of the famous Broadway play. Flawless 3-D, colorful production numbers (including Bob Fosse), energetic direction from George Sidney. The Festival is screening the only surviving dye-transfer ("3-strip") Technicolor print in the world! First time presented in WIDE SCREEN with discrete STEREO since 1953!
Special added attractions: A tribute to Ann Miller featuring rare footage of the late dancer. And a brief interview with Bella Spewack, author of the Broadway play.

Night of the Living Dead 3-D
U.S. Premiere
Friday September 8, Midnight
Starring Brianna Brown, Joshua DesRoches, Sid Haig
Brand new horror film will have its Polaroid projection premiere here at the World 3-D Film Expo II! Don't miss this reworking of the classic horror film, which was shot with the amazing new HD3cam!
Director Jeff Broadstreet will join the cast & crew for a Q & A preceding the screening

The Stewardesses
Saturday September 9, Midnight
Starring Christina Hart, Michael Garrett, William Basil
The quintessential skin flick of the 1970s makes a brand new appearance, in a fully restored (picture AND sound) version, with all the missing footage now put back! You've never seen “The Stewardesses” until you've seen this new restored version! Rated "X". Sorry, no one under 18 years of age will be admitted. ID required.
Actors Christina Hart and William Basil, Director Allan Silliphant and Producer/Cinematographer Chris Condon will attend the screening.

The festival is coming up soon. If you live in So. Cal. or are flying in for the show, it's going to be truly a fantastic 3-D event. Many of these movies have not been seen in true 3-D since the 1950's. Some have NEVER been projected in 3-D and you can be darn sure that most will never be shown again in our lifetime. DO NOT MISS THIS!!!!!!!!

 

To all of those going tonight (not me, unfortunately) -

Enjoy the show!!

 

The 3-D cartoon show starts at 3:30:

Every Bugs Bunny, Popeye, Casper, etc. 3-D cartoon ever made. See you there!

 

Mike,

Your contributions to the festival were most appreciated! Thanks so much!
