...The Airplane Scene is in post-production: We’re picture-locked, sound is handed off for final mix.

DuArt labs in NYC has graciously done our color correction for free, and Skywalker Sound is doing our final mix, at the ranch. Whoa.

Our volunteer veteran VFX Artist Perry Harovas (and KS Backer!) is working on removing wires and tow- lines...

Released for the first time… this is our original, untouched version that we screened in our home town on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 1989. [...] - may the adventure begin!

We hope you enjoy our tribute to Raiders and trust you will keep your individual copy and your special download code just for yourself - we kindly ask that you please not post it, distribute it, sell it or share it online - as it will make your copy less special. This is your special copy.

Thanks for keeping your special copy special, by not posting your copy online![...]

This email is just to confirm that your survey response has been submitted for RAIDERS GUYS AND THE LOST AIRPLANE SCENE.

Now all you have to do is sit back and wait for a great reward!

Sehr schön, vor allem die Zeichnung auf der ersten Seite hat es mir angetan...

Happy Holidays from The Raiders Guys!

Please accept our apologies for the delay in issuing the remaining rewards (DVDs, Shirts, Posters, Books, etc). Things are taking a bit longer than anticipated with finishing up the plane scene as we forge ahead through post-production. We are targeting an early 2015 to get all of our backers their respective physical rewards finalized and shipped. We will keep you abreast with all progress and updates - and again, our sincere apologies for the delays.

As a reminder, the holidays are upon us and a digital download of our film makes a great gift for those who haven't seen it! Please visit our website.

Thanks again for all of your support and patience as we bring our 30 year childhood dream across the finish line for all to enjoy. We're almost there.

Have an excellent holiday!

    Hi all!

We are VERY proud to announce that the documentary about our Raiders movie, produced and directed by Jeremy Coon and Tim Skousen has been officially selected by the South by Southwest film festival.

It is listed in the "Documentary Spotlight" section, officially announced today by Deadline Hollywood.

http://deadline.com/...201365371/

RAIDERS! will be making its world premiere this March in Austin, Texas sometime during the week of March 13th to March 21st.

We are still working diligently to finish up post-production on the plane scene and hope to screen it as well in Austin to support the documentary. [...] We anticipate late February / early March for completion and will keep you fully abreast.

We thank you for your patience!

Regarding SXSW screening times for the documentary, they have not been announced yet, so we are in a bit of a holding pattern. You can stay up to date on either the SXSW website, or the documentary Facebook page - both listed here:

Weiß jemand, ob man die Doku auch in Deutschland sehen können wird? Sprich vielleicht sogar im Kino oder zumindest bei einem der Streaming-Anbieter(netflix und Co).

Hi everyone!

[...]

We’re almost there and are working hard to make sure our 34 year journey is captured and presented to you perfectly!

Update:

The DVDs are approximately 4 weeks away from being completed [...]. We are targeting May 25th as our ship date. We've been working with total rock stars at DUART who have made the Raiders Adaptation DVD and the movie look friggin’ AWESOME.

[...]

We thank you again for your patience.

To Fortune and Glory,

Eric and Chris

Hi everyone,

Great news! We have overcome the final obstacles – and made the final DVD authoring touches to this 33 year old project… and signed off.

As I type this, replication has begun! DVDs are being replicated and packaged and will be shipped to Las Vegas where Eric and I will finalize the 1,200+ packages and start shipping out to backers, cast, crew, family, friends, including your own copy of our little film.

So at last - we have, not a target, but a 100% confirmed shipping date:

NEXT MONDAY, JUNE 8TH.

Please accept our apologies for it taking this long. We are so grateful for your patience – thank you. It won’t be much longer!

<CUE: THE RAIDERS MARCH!>

Over Memorial Day, in prep for the DVDs being ready, Eric and I convened in Las Vegas and -- along with our wives -- packed hundreds of posters, books and T-shirts, along with pieces of the Well of the Souls, pieces of the plane, certificates of authenticity… getting everyone's addresses and packages all lined up and ready to GO.
Eric's living room packed with RAIDERS REWARDS! Eric's living room packed with RAIDERS REWARDS!

We are looking forward to crossing the finish line. Eric and I, along with an extraordinary team of dedicated people, have worked very, very hard to make these rewards the absolute highest quality and most collectible they can be.

We will be sending a few more updates and announcements to wrap up. Many thanks for your continued patience and support. May the adventure continue!

In gratitude,

Chris & Eric
