Universal executives are trying to calm fears that the loss of a film storage facility at the studio during last Sunday's fire has not imperiled master prints of films or TV series. Some of the prints have been salvaged from the fire, but no inventory has yet been done to identify the titles. The studio says that master prints of all the titles are safe and sound, but admitted that much of their archival print library was destroyed. Although new prints can technically be struck from the existing masters, it requires a great deal of time and expense. Film preservationists and historians fear that the studio will only strike new prints of those titles they feel merit the investment. If their fears prove correct, it could result in a massive loss of available prints to revival cinemas. For more click here
