Fake Movies
Hi again, I stumbled over a mess. I don't know who this guy is but somebody has decided to create new films. Whomever submitted this I guess must have been a distributor of public domain stuff but created these fake movie profiles. These were not new titles nor were they remastered in the 1930s. They already have existing profiles using the exact credits from the rightful movies and creating their own stuff. Here's one of the originals titles. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039559/reference/ Here's all of the fake profiles that are on IMDb / duplicate listings. Hopefully the person could be stopped before they create more random titles. They seemingly just added their name to the crew credits and put a 100,000 GPB estimate. At the most they are just another distributor. 1947 Law of the Lash (Remaster) (remaster editor) 1944 Fuzzy Settles Down (Remaster) (remaster editor) 1943 Boss of Rawhide (Remaster) (remaster editor) 1942 Arizona Roundup (Remaster) (remaster editor) 1937 Guns in the Dark (Remaster) (remastered) 1936 Santa Fe Bound (Remaster) (remaster editor) 1936 Law and Lead (Remaster) (remaster editor) 1935 Death Rides the Range (Remaster) (remaster editor) 1935 Branded a Coward (Remaster) (remaster editor) (follow up) It's even worse than I thought. Death Rides the Range was a movie produced in 1939 so whomever is submitting these fake titles and adding remaster on the end not only is faking the titles and falsifying the budget but if you got the trivia for the fake title, one contributor even points out that it's a fake title the somebody moved the year back on. here's the fake non-exist version somebody created and submitted a 1935 date to. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18330488/trivia?ref_=tttr_ql_trv_1 Here's the original rightful film that was produced in 1939 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032387/reference/ Just as an aside, all of these are public domain films, if anybody thinks that they spent 100,000 GPB on restoration and tried to sell it when it's publicly available on YouTube, Amazon prime, and other places, you'd have to have some really big imagination. Most of the films didn't even have anywhere near that budget when they were made but the companies that made them. Phil
