TTWII footage question

[Rover]

Me has a question...From what I understood, That's the way it is was made by continuously filming a studio for a few days, as well as different shows in their entirety. Then they made a big editing job...Am I right?
If this is the case, they must have tons of unused footage, including concerts...or maybe it was released? maybe the concerts were released as live performances on CDs?

We don't know how much exactly exists for both That's The Way It Is and Elvis On Tour. There was several cameras filming during those movies. For That's The Way It Is, I would say there is some complete concerts because of all the cameras they used.

These are the shows where the cameras were rolling from August 1970. Some also say August 15th was filmed ... but I'm not getting into that again. Some shows were partially filmed, others complete.

10th August 1970 OS
11th August 1970 DS
11th August 1970 MS
12th August 1970 DS
12th August 1970 MS
13th August 1970 DS

When will be able to see those 200 hours of film that MGM shot during those 12 city shows ????
I believe that Ernst & Roger at BMG must know, but they don't want to tell us !!! Nor does Soden or EPE Mgmt...Why ?? Perhaps they want to keep something special to be released in 2012......???? the EonTour Box 3 DVDs and 5CDs....how about that....Only one thing....many of the loyal life long elvis fans may have hearing problems or may have died in the meantime....
C'mon wizzard at BMG and in Memphis out there south...wake up and do something about it, will you...

On top of that: all elvis fans and loyal elvis product buyers have noticed all along that lately the FTD digipacks are done in a LOW QUALITY way and have badly selected color pictures or most of them in B/W while colored pixs are available....SHAME ON YOU bmg !!! yOU ARE GOING FOR THE FAST BUCK AND WE DO NOT APPRECIATE THAT. I also refer to POT, GGGILRS, GOLD VOLOUME 2 (the gold suit does not shine in B/W...you moguls...) Besides, thank God the bootleggers were there fast and first to buy up all interesting and sparkling work parts, outtakes and alternative versions of GGGirls,GHappy, Spinout etc etc also the American studio marathon songs that BMG is still planning to release...all on one CD we guess, while the bootleggers have already issued 5 CDs with those.

When can we expect the next FTD digipacks and which ones ? What movies ?
Hope King Creole's complete (with outtakes, incomplete work parts, altern. versions etc) session will be out early 2008....50 years later than 1958.....!!!
Perfect timing it would be !!!!
Then WE WANT also to buy in 2008 PROM LAND (together with songs from GOOD TIMES) and the FROM EP BLVD (together with the 6 studio songs from MOODY BLUE).
DOES ANYONE KNOW OUT THERE WHAT IDEAS THEY HAVE FOR 2008....WHY DON'T THEY SEND OUT A PRESS RELEASE TO FANS AND EPFCs with professional info as good marketeers do in their music business ???

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED THANKS!

There is something I don't get...EPE, MGM, etc seem to want always more and more money (it's like what Josh said about the FTD packaging). Why not make a nice big DVD box with the unseen footage, it would be a big hit :)

Simple.

It costs way to much to remaster the footage; they'd be lucky to recoup their costs. In fact, they'd probably lose money on it.

Also, they have to pay the musicians at today's scale rates for the music to be released - which is why there will be fewer and fewer FTD soundboards released from now on.

The costs, all round, are prohibitive.
