I found this on IRC and it looks like a sample of a screener, I think. It has time code running at the top. This is also popping up as a torrent.

If this is old footage, I apologize

torrent for this sample: http://www.torrentspy.com/search.asp?mo ... &id=298656

the numbers running bothered me though, i could learn to live with it till the dvd however......

thats crazy good quality...i guess the full thing will be released soon.

Well no shit, I wasn't talking about the "official" copy.

The whole movie will hit the torrents this weekend no doubt. Remember they caught that motard that released the new Dr. Who screener "Rose." I'd hate to be seeder #1 on this torrent -- that's who LFL is going to trace it back to and go after.

The time code on that clip is 1:48 into the movie, just right before all hell breaks loose.

The clip is actually 48 minutes into the movie, not 1 hour 48 minutes.
My guess is, given the anamorphic squeeze of the image and the timecode, this is taken from something to do with the dvd - either a tape made for screening while recording commentaries, or some such thing.
In post-production for films, tapes are striped with timecode where the hour indicates what the reel number is. So if this show is broken into 2 reels for the dvd process (the end of reel 1 would likely be the layer change on the dvd) then what we're seeing is reel 1, 48 minutes in. Say reel 1 ended at 1:55:15:10.
The next frame would be 1:55:15:11, right? Well, in post production, the next frame, which would be frame 1 of reel 2 would be 2:00:00:00. Get it?

Maybe, but for all we know, it could be a deleted scene as well.

Can someone verify this that has already seen the movie?

Doesn't look like they're getting a whole lot done in that clip, anywho.

God Damn It

this is the full movie!??!?!

considering there are 2 seeders and 500 peers it will be faster to wait till midnight to see it. but i am holiding out hope that this is for real

yup.

Edit: Whoa, woops. that was supposed to be a reply to a PM.

Anyway, I have the full version downloading, but it's super slow. I'll be at the midnight showing and two showings on friday, but I'd still like it on the computer.

holy shit, the torrent is at 0% with 3 days remaining.....crap

That's how mine was. I just X'd out and figured I could get a version tomorrow or the next day.

mine is going at around 30 kb/s. I have 14 hours left on it

i might do the same thing or just leave my comp on, imma try demonoid's torrent and see how that one holds up

All right cool. Reply back if it works better please.

mine is going fast, 2 hours to go but no seeders right now ARGH!

I'm downloading it off of LimeWire right now. I just hope it's actually ROTS this time around. I tried this about two weeks ago and I ended up downloading Napoleon Dynamite. Then I tried it again two days ago and got three episodes of South Park. So far my luck has been astounding.

whats the name of the file on limewire?

Yeah dudes all the good stuff hits limewire first.

Type in 'episode III'. My file is called 'Star.Wars.Episode.III.Revenge.Of.The.Sith.WORKPRINT.XviD-CENTROPY'.

Word for word. I plan on just leaving it up overnight and praying it'll be done by morning or so.

thanks dude, just found it and downloading now

Not a problem. Now I guess all we can do is sit back and hope it's the real deal.

One of the correct file names should be Star.Wars.Episode.3.Revenge.of.the.Sith.WP.DVDR-ViSA

Don't even think of looking on Kazaa or any mainstream p2p for a little while. Try looking on newsgroups, specifically alt.binaries.dvdr

It's there.

Can I create a official workprint thread?

If this is the real version, I'm gonna download it, but wait until Friday when I can watch it. I'll then watch it 183593175981 times over the weekend. :p

Word is that version is a fake.
