SO thrilled KL, with the aid of 3DFA of course, is realizing a 3D blu of "Bwana Devil." (And, btw... notice the announcement has quickly garnered about 30 "Likes"...?)
And the news about a new deal with Paramount -- including at least one more 3D title?
Let me say once again: KUDOS TO KINO!
Received my Treasure of the Four Crowns yesterday and watched last night -- and this outstanding (literally...) rendition is a hoot! Pop-out City. Tons of in-your-face effects with a crispness and clarity that renders irrelevant any previous version you've seen.
I have not yet watched the...
On the KL Announcement thread, KL Insider wrote: "There are only 15 more announcements to go from our current Universal deal. All 15 will be part of our ongoing FILM NOIR: THE DARK SIDE OF CINEMA series. Volumes 11 to 15."

Got my copy of Among the Living -- two days after ordering direct via Kino (which I did just after canceling my Amazon pre-order when Amazon updated its listing to indicate delivery wouldn't happen until December).
It looks and sounds great! Watching it sans commentary initially.... but I'll...
They can do Black Moon because Sony/Columbia issued it on MOD DVD-R, and they can do Night of Terror (fingers crossed) because a nice 35mm print aired on Sony-owned Get TV several years ago.
But Ninth Guest and Fog are more question-marks. A softish, possibly 16mm, print of Ninth Guest is on...
30 "Likes" so far for the Saturday announcement of the forthcoming Diamond Wizard.
I'd say the Kino Lorber-3D Film Archive alliance is a productive one....
Just did my bit, Bob. I praised and thanked them and put in a plug for The Maze and Flight to Tangier to get pushed to the front of the Paramount-title queue. ;)
You won't get me to offer anything other than kudos and huzzahs to Kino. Among other attributes, they're carrying the load on classic 3D restorations !
