Matt D Posted September 15, 2012 Report Posted September 15, 2012 Isn't the whole thing with the fancam that the rights were signed away in exchange for the actual filming and use of the footage. It was a cost saving device by Heyman. WWE may be able to ask to use any of the footage whenever they want (even that I don't know about) but they don't own the rights to it? i could be way off but you guys are going around in circles, so, I'm at least positing my undrestanding of the situation.
blueminister Posted September 15, 2012 Report Posted September 15, 2012 Yeah, when Dylan said that just then I immediately wondered if it was a sort of deal where they'd reached a separate peace with the fan-cammers sprouting out of whatever weird arrangement Heyman had in the 90s. If that's the case I'd be pretty concerned.
Dylan Waco Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Posted September 15, 2012 RF owns the rights to the FanCams and actually (apparently) has some weird deal where he can license the tv/ppv's also. They have paper work on everything. They chose to only use the FanCams for a variety of reasons.
blueminister Posted September 15, 2012 Report Posted September 15, 2012 That's really cool. I'm still worried about the WWE just saying "fuck it" and filing a flimsy lawsuit anyway out of spite a la the "We're Using Our Hegemonic Position In The Industry To Force Bubba Ray Dudley Into Using A Fire Pro Name" deal but it's great that they already have done the homework.
Dylan Waco Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Posted September 15, 2012 I suspect if WWE was going to sue they would have already.
Ronnie Posted September 20, 2012 Report Posted September 20, 2012 Good news for the producers and bad news for me. As of 14 hours ago they hit their target. I know it because I've just gone to contribute and have left it too late. I don't suppose you know, Dylan, whether the DVD will be purchasable for people who didn't pay by Kickstarter, do you? I'd love to get my hands on a copy.
Dylan Waco Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Posted September 20, 2012 It will be available for sale to anyone once it is released.
Dylan Waco Posted February 14, 2013 Author Report Posted February 14, 2013 So what's new on this? Name of the movie is Barbed Wire City. Premiere is set for April 20th in Philly
Dooley Posted February 14, 2013 Report Posted February 14, 2013 So what's new on this? Name of the movie is Barbed Wire City. Premiere is set for April 20th in Philly Of course they'd premiere it on 4/20.
Dylan Waco Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Posted March 19, 2013 Premiering in the ECW Arena on April 20th. Announced as of today. Really excited about this.
goodhelmet Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 The same way he sells WWE or Highspots merchandise, not as an RF Video production.
flyonthewall2983 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 Sounds like a distribution thing to me.
goodhelmet Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 Right...RF can buy copies and sell them.
flyonthewall2983 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 I'm interested in the final product, but I hope the people who put together the DVD will be very liberal with outtakes and such.
Guest Andrews Posted March 23, 2013 Report Posted March 23, 2013 Really into my wrestling documentaries, so interested to see this one eventually. It's yet another ECW doc, but this one looks slightly different due to the 2001 filming which should be quite interesting to watch. Wish I knew about Kickstarter at the time though as I've only gotten into it over the last month or so, certainly would have backed this.
goodhelmet Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 I'm interested in the final product, but I hope the people who put together the DVD will be very liberal with outtakes and such. I am pretty sure they have enough outtakes to make a 2nd movie. Should be plenty of extras available in some form of release.

You can order it from here like you would any other DVD: http://www.barbedwirecity.com/store/index....b1637c44fd39492 I am pretty sure they have enough outtakes to make a 2nd movie. Should be plenty of extras available in some form of release. Johnny has been very generous in terms of uploading bonus footage for Kickstarter members too. More than any other project that I am a backer of by a long mile.
Happ Hazzard Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Anyone else beyond bored of hearing about ECW? What more can be possibly said about it?
jpchicago23 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 If you were bored of ECW why would you post in an ECW thread?
Guest Andrews Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 If you were bored of ECW why would you post in an ECW thread? Some people just fucking LOVE to be miserable dicks hating on everything left right and centre.
Johnny Guitar Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 Anyone else beyond bored of hearing about ECW? What more can be possibly said about it? Althougth I'm no longer really interested in ECW. Personally I am interested in what Ted Petty had to say.
Happ Hazzard Posted March 29, 2013 Report Posted March 29, 2013 That's a bit harsh. And I don't recall saying that about Kharma.
