Film classics reborn
The restored 'Les Enfants du paradis' screened at the Lumiere fest in advance of a December run in France. LONDON -- The restoration of classic films is both a labor of love and a commercial enterprise.Ellen Schafer, who is in charge of the film library at SNC, part of Gallic media conglom M6, points out that one byproduct of the digitization of the film biz is that many old masters are getting a makeover and enjoying a new lease on life commercially.During the Lumiere Film Festival in Lyon, France, which ran Oct. 3-9, fest head Thierry Fremaux paid tribute to the work of the Jerome Seydoux-Pathe Foundation, which had just restored Marcel Carne's "Les Enfants du paradis," which was screened at the fest. The foundation also is working on Jean-Pierre Melville's "Le Samourai," Roman Polanski's "Tess" and Raymond Bernard's "Les Miserables."The restored version of "Les Enfants," carried out by the Eclair and L'Immagine Ritrovata laboratories on a budget of 300,000 ($410,000), will be released theatrically by Pathe in France in December, and will get theatrical dates in other territories. Reissues on DVD, Blu-ray and VOD will follow. Although distribs are unlikely to get rich quick through the restoration and re-release of classic films, it is possible to at least cover the cost of restoration. Jane Giles, the British Film Institute's head of content, oversaw the release in Blighty of "The Great White Silence" earlier this year. The nonfiction silent film from 1924, which documents Captain Scott's doomed expedition to the South Pole, cost around $126,000 to restore, including the cost of a new score by Simon Fisher Turner. The theatrical release netted $95,000 from 40 screens, and sold 4,000 units of the dual format edition (DVD and Blu-ray), which retails for $32. The film was also sold to the Discovery Channel, although Giles declined to reveal the price. The pic has also been picked up in Germany, and the BFI is in negotiations with distribs for Australian and New Zealand rights.The cost of restoring a Technicolor pic, typical of the work undertaken by Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation on "The Red Shoes," is more expensive. Efforts such as this can cost just south of $1 million.Scorsese and his Film Foundation are one of the most high-profile orgs devoted to this work. Clearly, restoration work can be profitable, though in the conglomerate age that focuses on quarterly bottom lines, it's an uphill struggle to get executives to realize the importance of the work -- not only paydays, but the opportunity to expose new audiences to classics. (Variety on Aug. 2-8, 2010, themed the entire issue to the advantages and challenges in this field.) In order to put the pics on video-on-demand platforms, film companies first have to create a digital master, and since many old 35mm prints are in a poor condition, the films have to be restored first.But the market for classic films is limited. Schafer says only half of SNC's library of around 1,200 films are exploited commercially. A small number, like Jean Cocteau's "La Belle et la bete," are evergreens, and sell worldwide, while others only sell in certain markets, like the "Gendarme" comedy franchise, which has little market value in English-language territories, but is popular across continental Europe.Still, specialized markets are popping up in the U.S. and Germany, says Schaefer, giving lesser-known titles that are now available on an HD master new life. Many restored classics have long legs at the box office in re-release.Last year, Rialto took $357,000 from the 50th anni reissue of Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" after it played for more than seven months at U.S. theaters, while Kino Intl. nabbed $529,000 from a re-release of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis," whose new print including lost footage, over a similar period. Pathe says the restoration of Luchino Visconti's "The Leopard" was conceived as a project in its own right, starting with its screening in the Cannes Classic section in 2010, followed by a re-release in French theaters and finally its release on DVD and VOD. Sales on DVD were excellent, with some 50,000 units sold.The typical classic film customer tends to be older than the average filmgoer, and has a better knowledge of cinema and its history, says Steve Lewis, head of home entertainment at U.K. distrib Artificial Eye, which has a sizable collection of classic titles. The company is just about to re-release Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Three Colors" trilogy on Blu-ray, which has been among the company's best-sellers, alongside the works of Andrei Tarkovsky and Robert Bresson. Like their counterparts in the fanboy world, classic movie fans will spend the money for a complete collection of their favorite auteurs, so restored prints drive sales -- which means VOD sales are slower. During the Lumiere festival, Europa Distribution, a body that reps indie distribs in Europe, held its annual confab, where delegates agreed that the market for classic films was small, and the customers were aging.Tilman Scheel, managing director of Reelport, which runs Europe's Finest, a service that supplies digital prints of classic European films to theaters, said both these facts will remain true unless the study of film and its history is added to school curriculums, and the audience is taught to appreciate cinema in the same way it does other art forms."Tell people that it's an old film, and they won't go to the cinema; tell them it's an exhibition of old paintings, and they go to the museum. Everybody knows who Leonardo Da Vinci is, but I'm not so sure they know who the Lumiere brothers are," he says. -- Boyd van Hoeij in Paris contributed to this report.

Why Is MPTFs Ousted Dr. David Tillman Returning Through The Back Door?
MPTFs Acute Care Deal With Providence Health & Services Falls Through EXCLUSIVE: More bad news at the Motion Picture And Television Fund. Family members are furious that the man they blame for playing the central role in trying to close the Wasserman Campus healthcare facilities for acute care, Dr. David Tillman, is coming back through the back door. Tillman was ousted as President and CEO of the MPTF’s Motion Picture Hospital in February 2010. But now he has been hired by the Partners In Care Foundation as their First Chief Medical Officer. And just who is Chairman of the Board of Partners In Care? Why Seth Ellis, the MPTF’s VP and COO who was Tillman’s longtime second in command. It’s a textbook case of cronyism: Tillman and Ellis arrived together at theMPTF in 2000, and both made bitter enemies of family members who fought the MPTF’s attempt to close the acute care hospital and nursing facilities.At one pointMSNBC’s Keith Olbermann named Tillman the”World’s Worst” person because of the impending closures. It’s widely felt that when the MPTF Board subcommittee exited Tillman, it was a first step to try to bring the MPTF back together with the Hollywood community, and especially family members who’ve been most vocal on this acute care issue. Now this is viewed as a giant step backwards, especially because it spotlights the controversial dual role which Ellis plays by having big jobs with both Partners in Care and the MPTF. Richard Stellar, an outspoken activist for the motion picture industry’s elder rights and the son of a former resident of the Motion Picture Home, tells me this about Tillman’s return: “In my opinion this is a blatant conflict of interest that once again interfaces Dr. Tillman with MPTF senior management. Has he ever really gone away, or were we just led to believe that he had?” In the Partners In Care press release announcing Tillman’s hire, Seth Ellis, the COO of the Motion Picture Home, heaps praise on Tillman. That’s like adding fuel to the fire that erupted over Tillman’s MPTF tenure which has taken more than a year to begin to extinguish: Having Dr. Tillman join us at this point in our evolution, signals the dynamic growth and expansion opportunities Partners is experiencing. Partners is poised to bring even greater expertise to the field, broaden our impact, and shape the future of health care. Both Tillman and Ellis were the architects of the attempt to dismantle long term acute healthcare at the MPTF campus. According to savingthelivesofourown.org, “Tillman’s goal, working quietly under the surface with Seth Ellis, for nearly a decade, was to close the Wasserman Campus healthcare facilities, making home based community care the focus of MPTF healthcare services. Tillman who earned $600,000 a yearat the MPTFwas pushed to exit because of the public relations nightmare that ensued over the attempt to shutter the acute care hospital and long-term elderly care facilities. In his new job, Tillman is to provide oversight for patients transitioning from hospitals to community care services. Immediately, it calls into question whether Ellis will have Tillman and Partners In Carehelp MPTF transition out its acute care facilities. Now the question is whether the bigwig Hollywood members of the MPTF Board knew about and approved of Ellis’ hiring of Tillman.

Sue Mengers dies
Mengers in 1985Sue Mengers, among Hollywood's best agents inside the seventies, who represented the type of Sidney Lumet, Peter Bogdanovich, John P Palma and Mike Nichols additionally to Michael Caine, Cher, Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway, Gene Hackman and Barbra Streisand, died Saturday evening in Beverly Slopes.

Remembering the super-agent as "a great signer," Berg mentioned Mengers had "gumption and great wit and was gifted at putting people together and finding solutions." The L.A. Occasions written about Mengers later, "Even her detractors admit she was the initial female to see hardball inside the boys club. And not simply with celebrity careers: Apart from stars, Mengers was settling while using careers as well as the lives of company company directors like Lumet and Nichols and John P Palma, talents who know what they desire -- and are employed to configuring it.Inch Mengers' friend and longtime connect, ICM agent Boaty Boatwright, mentioned, "Her title increased being synonymous with as well as what she aided most of us to accomplish, but her legend is often the vitality that they were living existence, and her wit, that is celebrated in tales throughout our community for any very long time.Inch In the 1973 profile, Time magazine mentioned, "Just like a v . p . of mighty Creative Management Affiliate marketers, Sue Mengers is, inside the rueful words of just one of her ex-clients, 'more effective in comparison to stars she handles.'?" Her parties were considered key networking options, which after she outdated, her home will be a center in the Hollywood social scene. She presented the town's top talent ("single title stars" like "Warren, Jack, Barbra, Elton, Ali, Anjelica, Bette, Sting and Trudy, along with pals with last names like Geffen, Diller, Poitier, Lansing, Friedkin, Semel, Lourd and Zanuck"), as Graydon Carter appreciated in the remembrance on Vanityfair.com. Mengers was produced in Hamburg to oldsters who'd later flee Germany since the Holocaust got started. She was 8 when the family turned up inside the U.S., and her father committed suicide a few years later. She began in showbiz just like a secretary at MCA in 1955, then labored in the similar job within the William Morris Agency, where she ongoing to become until a classic co-worker, Tom Korman, hired her just like a talent agent when he started their very own agency. Her first success was landing Broadway star Julie Harris. "I used to be somewhat pisher, somewhat nothing making $135 each week just like a secretary for your William Morris Agency in NY," Mengers told Mike Wallace in 1975. "Well, I looked around which i respected the Morris office in addition to their professionals, which i figured, Gee, the items they are doing is not so difficult, you understand. Which I love the way they live, which i love people expense accounts, which i like the cars. And That I did formerly stay late at work, similar to 'All About Eve,' which i out of the blue thought, 'That beats typing.'?" Since the repetition for Anthony Perkins, she guaranteed him employment in Rene Clement's film "Is Paris Burning?" (1966). Her next factor up came when she was hired by Freddie Fields' agency Creative Management Affiliate marketers. The organization, which repped Paul Newman, Robert Redford and McQueen, was bought by Marvin Josephson's Worldwide Famous Agency to create Worldwide Creative Management in 1974. She left ICM in 1986 and returned briefly as leader of William Morris couple of years later before permanently retiring Recognized for a obvious, crisp tongue together with a penchant for poaching off their agencies, Mengers nevertheless recognized to being starstruck herself in the 2009 interview with Vanity Fair. "Stars are rare creatures, and not everyone might be one," she mentioned. "But there's not anybody in the world -- not you, not me, not the woman nearby -- who wouldn't want to be a celebrity supporting that gold statuette on Academy Award evening." Mengers would be a symbol within Hollywood, though not well-recognized to everybody: Dyan Cannon's character in Herbert Ross' 1973 film "All the Sheila," composed by Perkins and Stephen Sondheim, required it's origin from her. Mengers was married to Belgian author-director Jean-Pierre Tramont from 1973 until his dying in 1996. She leaves no children. Contact Variety Staff at news@variety.com
Keyser: expect more WGAW activism
Newly elected WGA West president Christopher Keyser has told its 8,000 members that the guild will become more vocal in the political arena, such as supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement."We need the ability to speak in a loud, clear voice," Keyser said in a message to members. "You can be sure that those who lobby against our interests in Washington are doing exactly that, with the most expensive megaphone the all-too-bendable rules permit. We will not be silent in response."Keyser came out in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement on Oct. 6. He said in the new message -- which arrived in member inboxes Thursday -- that the guild will continue to be vocal on issues that impact writers and will be reaching out directly to politicians via its political action committee."We believe that writers' voices belong in the national conversation about issues related to our business and to the plight of labor in general," he said. "It is impossible to over-estimate the effect that decisions on issues ranging from net neutrality to vertical integration to piracy have on our members' bottom line. We simply cannot leave those decisions to others, without our perspective being heard."Keyser also said the WGA West will be asking membership to contribute the PAC, adding, "It is an unfortunate truth about American politics that money is speech."The missive comes a month after Keyser won a two-year as president over Patric Verrone in a campaign that stressed pragmatism and minimizing internal divisiveness. Keyser said in the message to members that the WGA West board's most recent meeting produced a consensus on three main priorities over the next two years:-- the need for the WGA West to be more involved in the life of its members and to improve communication, including a "reassessment" of its communication strategy. Keyser also promised that the board is evaluating the effectiveness of contract enforcement "with particular attention to late pay."-- preparation for negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers on a successor deal to the current master contract, which expires in May, 2014. Keyser cited setting bargaining priorities as a result of "consistent communication" with the membership, the "perennial" goal of improved inter-guild relations, the continued pursuit of its organizing agenda, and a critical reassessment of its overall negotiating strategy in the "multi-guild/AMPTP" universe .-- New media, with the intent of creating opportunities for WGA members. "The change in the way content is delivered, and the entry into the business of new production entities beyond our traditional partners in the AMPTP, suggests a future that is full of both risk and of possibility," Keyser said. "Through research, education, and outreach, we are committed to pursuing, as a guild, a future in which the as-yet- undefined landscape of the new media world becomes ripe with opportunities for writers to create, produce and share an ownership stake in that content."The WGA West's reported writer earnings declined 2.9% last year to $928 million, thanks to a 9.9% plunge in feature film salaries. New media revenues -- the key issue of the 2007-08 strike -- were still miniscule at $1.4 million.Keyser disclosed in the missive that the WGA West is working toward release of the Screenwriters Survey/Report Card, which will provide members with a "detailed picture" of the working conditions of screenwriters, including issues of free rewrites, sweepstakes pitching, and late pay, as it varies from studio to studio.He also said that members should expect to hear from the guild "regularly" over the next year."These are difficult economic times in this country, particularly for the middle class," Keyser said. "We, as writers, have not been immune from that. We are, all of us, and at every level, finding careers more difficult to sustain. In such an environment, the Guild is more vital than ever - to fight the fights for stricter enforcement, better working conditions, and greater compensation."
