Time for a blast from the past!! A brand new 4K rescan of the 35mm print for a teaser trailer from the 1980s has been uploaded to YT. The trailer is for a 1982 action techno-thriller called Firefox, produced, directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. The plot involves Eastwood being sent into the Soviet Union to steal a prototype fighter jet called "Firefox" that is so advanced it can't be detected on radar. It's set in Russia, but Cold War considerations made them use Vienna and other locations in Austria to double for many of the Eurasian story locations. This trailer is scanned by a cinephile named Denis-Carl Robidoux, from Montreal, who we featured once before earlier this year. He has been finding all these old 35mm and 16mm film reels and scanning them and putting them on YouTube - which is awesome because some of these trailers have been lost in time. It's only 30 secs but is more than enough. I really enjoy these old school teasers that didn't need footage to get you. I love the trippy 2001-esque visuals in this one, they'll definitely get your attention. ›››
