THE BAT WHISPERS BLU-RAY FROM VCI LATER THIS YEAR (1 Viewer)

[TheSteig]

Per VCI Classic Films on FB. " We are restoring this one too! Off of 35mm in the UCLA Archives! "
Plus it will be in both full screen and widescreen !
The Bat Whispers is a great thriller from 1930. I have the Milestone DVD of it which is pretty damn good. The Blu-ray should surpass it !

I still haven't heard of any progress on one of favoite Serials "The Phantom Creeps" that was to have come out a year or so ago, but from what I've been told, they're still looking for film elements to complete it. Anyone have any updates on it?

VCI has Tonight Or Never streeting on Blu Ray they have The Bat Whispers being done now from 35mm material from UCLA and the next serial to be restored will be a Dead End Kids Serial not sure the title though!

Looking forward to The Bat Whispers, and especially excited about The East Side Kids getting some long overdue restorations.

Fingers crossed that it's JUNIOR G-MEN (1940).

The Milestone DVD was interlaced, hope this one will be a progressive scan.

Is there such a thing as interlaced blu-ray?

It never occurred to me before

There are some either due to frame rate (mostly silents) or they're ancient transfers.

Great news, even if they're having to use the 35mm scope reduction elements for the 65mm version.

 

[RobertMG]

And YES still talking with rights owners on FLASH GORDON TOO!

They might give to me to try cannot afford any money outlay they lowered the price to 5.99 a month

Yeah I saw that, much more attractive. The only problem is, as all streaming services go, to constantly add new titles evey month in order to keep your subscribers. I wish them all the best!!

You know me I love VCI but me too no interest in streaming

the one advantage is if you run across a title that you might not be as familure with, you can view it and see if it is worth pickiing up a disc copy for your collection, and the other bonus is insider discounts on the full catalog. And it's away to suppport VCI Bob and his family and crew.

if a title draws enough attention, there's always the possibility, right?

depends on the deal with the rights holders I know with FLASH they want the disc and streaming rights
