I didn't realize this would be necessary, but Orson Welles' The Other Side of the Wind is now heading to Indiegogo.

I can't see them coming close to getting that money.

I can, easily. I'm just surprised they're doing it that way.

Maybe funding fell through.

Looks like the Kickstarter to help pay costs for Eyes of the Totem is a success (with about 66 hours to go).

With the article I read recently saying that the screening for the old Sherlock Holmes movie pulled because of high ticket prices, I'm glad to see this at least has some funding. I think some take it for granted that these projects will have an audience, or ready cash. That isn't always the case.

Lots of old films and film reels found last month at a rubbish tip in the UK.

An episode from the mostly destroyed first season of The Avengers has been found. I wish Patrick Macnee were still with us to comment.
