We even had one set piece with bodies strewn about with real fires lit all around. There was so much to this movie---we shot it over several days and had a large cast. In 2016 I had a deal to upscale and release Ruemorgue content and had planned to edit it as part of the deal. But several months in, Hank changed his mind and I no longer had the rights to distribute. Though, funny story, I have the master to nearly all of Ruemorgues content---and now after 8 years it is still in my storage unit. :-(

Anyhow, I gave all that footage to the person that handles RM content now in hopes they might do something with it. But, it was all shot guerrilla style way back in the early-2000's and the edit would be a pain in the ass for anyone other then someone with a passion for the footage. And even then, upscaling, adding all the effects, digitally removing all the blinks would take tons of work. Even if I wanted to, because piracy has made sales so low, it would not be worth it when the average sales is 15-20 movies or about $200-300----certainly not worth 100's of hours of editing. So, it is unlikely it will ever bee seen.

Here is a little promo I did for it years and years ago: https://pkfstudios.com/samples/forum_media/commando.mp4

It's all gotten very complicated, unfortunately, but the religious forces are marching on these days.

It's a pity you can not get back the rites and content as, although wild and shaky, you can tell how much time and effort was put in to it. Perhaps there is some way you can work the footage in to a future production, perhaps in a flash-back sepia or slightly unfocused style to a previous misison that went pear-shaped? Or from a weird dream or memory?
Leaving it just sitting on some shelf gaining dust is really not a good outcome for such a decent and expensive project.

(Premiere Pro was too rich for my blood) If the footage is available, I would be glad to make a rough edit without effects between Bingo games and return for your use/sale. (My retirement dreams didn’t pan out…) I’m with xj900uk and hate to see any form of this treasure collecting dust.
