Does anyone know who owns the rights to the TV movie/mini series Son of the Morning Star with Gary Cole? I've been wanting this forever on DVD.

Re: Son of the Morning Star?

That's a Republic Pictures TV movie. I'm not sure if it falls under Republic's TV line or movie Line as they are owned by different people.

Wikipedia.org states the following:

"As of 2006, Republic Pictures' holdings consist of a catalog of 3,000 films and TV series, including the original Republic library (except for the Roy Rogers and Gene Autry catalogs, owned by their respective estates); the pre-1973 NBC library (including Bonanza), most of the Quinn Martin (The Fugitive, The Streets of San Francisco, etc.) and Aaron Spelling (The Love Boat, Twin Peaks, Beverly Hills 90210, etc.) catalogs; select pre-1952 UA (High Noon, Copacabana, etc.) and NTA holdings (Fleischer cartoons, It's a Wonderful Life, etc.). Lions Gate Home Entertainment's home video rights initially expired in late 2005, but have since regained video rights to Republic's theatrical film library (except It's a Wonderful Life--the video rights to that film and Republic's TV library now are with Paramount, with the TV shows released through the CBS DVD label). Paramount also holds theatrical rights, while television distribution is now the responsibility of CBS Paramount Television (since the Viacom/CBS corporate split that took effect at the beginning of 2006)."

LOL...funny I was thinking about this again when I posted in the WB archive. I forgot I had posted this back in 2007. I can't believe this still hasn't come out, especially since it did have a VHS release. It bugs me when I see all the crap they release instead. Best Custer movie by far, really well done.
