FOX MAY BE ON ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST, BLU-RAY WISE (1 Viewer)

[LouA]

Based on what I’ve read here and other Fox threads, I don’t think we will see any further releases of previously released titles on Blu-ray, or titles new to home video on BD or DVD. That’s the impression I’m getting.
Many of my favorites are from Fox, Fox TV , Four Star etc. Things like Fear Strikes Out, Harry And Tonto , shows like Saints And Sinners, Trackdown.

Disney Bans Fox Films

Disney Bans Fox Films

It’s now a smaller world after all.

Fox titles are available for rent and purchase digitally, so I don’t think there’s some sort of conspiracy to suppress them on Disney’s part. I just don’t think they thought it was worth their while to release them on disc.

Wherever there is a void, newer markets evolve.

There was a UHD planned of Patton and years after Disney took over there is not even a UHD streaming version of it.

Oh well, there are studios that are not worth MY while and with very few exceptions Disney is a prime example of that.

Lack of physical.releases of Fox films by Disney is just poetic justice in my book.

How is that..?

There's a rights issue with that one.

It almost came out at one point and then was withdrawn. However, the wonderful Jerome Kern soundtrack score was released on a CD. Great songs: Up with the Lark, In Love in Vain, All Through the Day (I Dream about the Night)), Centennail (opening). Great sounding with the wonderfully rich 20th Century Fox orchestra and chorus.

It stinks for me to be passionate yet powerless; so I must also find something else that is worthy of MY while, as well. Good tip, OliverK, good tip.

I edited that CD.

I can't recall if I started work on the isolated score or not. It was a few years ago.

You would hope they wood license them out to a third party like Kino-Lorber.
And while we’re discussing Disney licensing, what happens to the classic “ Walt Era” films that they DID issue via the Disney Movie Club now that it’s closing down?

There is, just not in the US. It’s available in 4K on Disney+ internationally.

But of course it is...

It is very reassuring that by moving to another country it could be possible to enjoy Patton in UHD, well done Disney!

Do you have a link?

Not a link, as such, but I’ve seen it.

Interesting - which country was that?

By looking at the language I would think that this was in Canada or the UK?

Canada.

Canada.

Thanks - it figures that there would be a lot more interest for it in Canada than in the US. Brilliant decision by the good people at Disney...

So you can only see Patton in UHD streaming in another country? You can't see it any other way?
