Amazon only got a certain amount of discs, they won't get more I'm afraid. It IS a limited edition so the only way is to get it from the Koch shop (maybe let it ship to someone you know in Europe... https://shop.kochfilms.de/de/alamo

A lot of action here... I am glad you like our media book. Of course I would have loved to create english subtitles for my documentary, but there are policies regarding foreign home video releases and the US / UK market (MGM would not go for that). I could do an english version for an US / UK...

Can't wait for the Blu-ray. BLOW UP now finally out, CATCH 22 now is my #1 regarding "missing on Blu" :(.

It should become a superb release. The HD master is wonderful, just great, 'gives justice to Lucien Ballards "blu skies". I produced some 2 hours of supplements for the Blu-ray I hope people will enjoy... After ALFREDO GARCIA / KILLER ELITE (both Twilight) and CONVOY (also Kino Lorber) it's my...

I hope Kino Lorber considers Jordan Krug's input. Boy, this color-mess is on us all for decades now it feels. I saw it on 35mm few times, gorgeous prints and couldn't be more on Jordan's side. We want the 1966 masterpiece, not some modern-pseudo-look... We had the same problem with Peckinpah...

Congratulations to you - regarding the fact it is not one of those Twilight Time Blu-ray's that are out of print and cost about 100.- at Amazon or what have you :).

This thread is missing its Happy End, the release of NOON WINE in color as a supplement (along with my featurette PASSION & POETRY - THE KILLER ELITE) on Twilight Time's THE KILLER ELITE Blu-ray disc :).

Thank you Brian! You might enjoy my latest documentaries on CROSS OF IRON (UK/german BD), ALFREDO GARCIA (US Twilight Time BD) and CONVOY (73min., for some the making of the film is more interesting than the film itself; UK/German BD, US Kino Lorber BD)

It's PASSION & POETRY's 10th anniversary this summer and it's looking better than ever: we made a deinterlaced HD-master of a slightly enhanced cut and it will be released on Blu-ray in Japan this year. Of course it is no match to a 'real' HD master, but it certainly looks much better than the...

It is an absolute disgrace BLOW UP is not available on Blu-ray. Why do we have to beg for such a title? One of the finest films ever made, an influential piece of art still celebrated all over the world. Same with DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES (Polanski) or PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID. Sure it takes...

I'm sure you'll like it. In the end you still pay much less than buyers paid over here in the book shops. 2 years ago over-sea buyers had to pay about $55.00-60.00 as I recall. Still nobody complained once they had it in their hands. PASSION played int. festivals in 2006 and will be released...

In case anybody is interested in my book PASSION & POETRY - SAM PECKINPAH IN PICTURES: At AMAZON.DE they're practically giving away some left-over books! I'm sure it's just for a very short time, the price is unbelievable: about 8,00 Euro. That's over 70% less! (29,90 is the regular price.)...

Warner Home VP Brian Jamieson left the studio, he was a guy I met and respected. As most of the studio guys dealing with 'classics', I'm sure he had a though job doing everything he could to get the budgets for decent releases. The stuff that was done when he was active, DEAN, LEE, KUBRICK and...

I remember discussing the versions with Paul Seydor in 2000. Basically we shared the same opinions. I don't know what went wrong in the end, but it is in good Peckinpah tradition: A fine mess. I always liked the 73 version and thought that restored and extended it would result in a good...
