Hello, I'm Scott Patrick.
Up next, it's a touch of genius.
It's Orson Welles' Touch of Evil, which recently got a touch-up.
In 1958, our next film was hailed as Orson Welles' Hollywood comeback film.
His first film in a decade.
It starred Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, and Orson Welles.
Sadly, it turned out to be the last film an ejected Orson Welles would ever direct in Hollywood.
After he turned in his final cut, Universal Studios rejected it, hired another director,
shot additional footage, and re-edited the movie.
Welles wrote a 58-page memo critiquing the final film.
Recently, that memo was used to restore the film the way Welles envisioned it, making the story easier to follow.
One great change, the legendary opening shot, which runs 3 minutes and 20 seconds,
no longer has credits competing with this great cinematic feat.
Now here's a film which for years was called the greatest B-movie ever made.
It's now in A-plus condition.
Here is Touch of Evil.
Watching The New Encore, a great movie every night, guaranteed.
Here's what's coming up on The New Encore.

Warning! Warning!
We're lost.
This month, Encore goes behind the screens of Lost in Space.
Danger for Robinson! Danger!
Get lost in its 750 special effects.
Cool.
Discover a new world.
98% of the galaxy is still uncharted.
And experience movie magic like you never have before.
It took a crew of 500 over two years to bring Lost in Space to life.
And they did it from scratch.
These are the most extraordinary sets that I've ever seen.
This is the first film that I've ever worked on that is a completely created environment.
And that's pretty amazing.
All in all, there were 15 enormous sets.
Lots of crazy creatures, plus the infamous Robinson robot,
which weighed in at 500 pounds and had over 3,000 intricate components.
Having all this artificial intelligence and robots and wacky ideas behind the science fiction
was sort of fun to let myself be a kid and just go off and do this imaginative thing.

But since so much of the film was created in post-production,
the actors had to find ways to make the unbelievable look believable.
This is a very different way of performing.
A lot more of it happens in your own head.
The line of dialogue and the communication that was necessary with Stephen Hopkins,
the director, and the actors was much more crucial in the sense that
he's creating an environment in post-production that he's going to stick us into.
To top it all off, the actors actually had to be glued into their cryo suit costumes.
The film is based on the Irwin Allen TV series that ran from 1965 to 68,
and some of the original cast members even appear in the movie.
We didn't even have lights.
But the new effects are leaps and bounds above those early shows.
Even though the Robinson family has come a long way in Hollywood,
they're still lost in space.
Sunday at 8 on Encore.
What will it take for us to get that videotape?

Ah!
Be warned that I have a long arm,
and I'm prepared to fight my enemies wherever they may be.
Why don't you kill me?
In due time.
Grab your weapon! Tell them to stop! Tell them to stop it now!
Behind you!
