I am 100% interested in that Imprint Noir Collection with those four movies, but with Kino's deal with Paramount, they may have the same titles. I hope by August 31st Kino will shed some light aka announce / deny titles from that Noir collection. This is where it gets conflicting. I usually...
As much as I like upgrading Blu-ray titles to UHD, I really would like to see some DVDs getting first time Blu-ray releases. Young Sherlock Holmes is another title Id love to finally hit HD.
Definitely excited about what's coming down the pike!
Kino just signed a new deal with Paramount
"We just signed a new Paramount deal. I can't share any details till later, it includes 65 new titles, 3 Paramount renewals and 3 CBS renewals, 71 in total."
I hope for The Shootist, Bad Company, Will Penny, and Destination Inner Space off the top of...
No, The Angry Red Planet and Reptilicus were Scream Factory Blu-ray releases.
Ever since Kino released Tentacles Ive hoped for a solo release of Reptilicus but I think a box set with the three films might be better ! :D
I was thinking of a really cool box set that I hope Kino might consider, an IB Melchoir Box set with Journey to the Seventh Planet, Reptilicus and The Angry Red Planet ! All with 4K masters (or 2K at the very least)
Make it happen Kino :)
Thanks for the clarification, I knew I was close ! :D I didnt quote the actual post since its several pages back and lost among the dreaded slipcover debate. It's still a great wealth of titles :)
Elsewhere aka on another forum the KL rep said that they were working on new MGM, Universal and other deals for 2023 as they still have over 50 or 60 titles to announce this year along with another 50+ announced without release dates.
Since Kino is working on a deal with MGM, I will ask again request
The Charlie Chan films from the Chanthology set
Pharaohs Curse
The Flame Barrier
Maybe the latter two could be part of a Sci-Fi B set like the Edgar Ulmer one ! :)
I picked up their Film Noir Dark Side of Cinema 5 and thought all three films were decent. The Midnight Story with Tony Curtis to me was the best of the bunch. Outside the Law was also good, with the second half being the most compelling. I thought Because of You was also decent - and somewhat...
Now that KL has a deal with Sony, I just remembered The Whistler films - I hope KL can license these. I know Sony remastered them years ago on DVD, not sure if they did HD masters, but Id love a box set of those films ! :)
In case KL reads these posts which Im sure he does....
Could you guys possibly splurge for a Blu-ray of Day of the Triffids. I know Michael Hyatt wants a lot of money for it. Could you see if he might change his price for it or negotiate with him? It's a "Crime of the Century" that this movie...
I love chatting about KL titles because there are so many of them and so many possibilities between silent films , contemporary films, obscure films , and even mainstream films that they could license.
Sometimes KL will answer a question - it just depends on what the question is :)
I was curious to know if KL would be interested in releasing any of the Bulldog Drummond movies on Blu-ray if they were available.
Criterion has them for streaming on Amazon - not sure if they own the rights to physical releases or not. Anyway just a thought :)
After yesterdays announcement Im wondering just how many Shout / Scream Factory Blu-rays are heading for UHD, whether or not they were collectors editions. Same for Criterion...
Interesting and potentially expensive times ahead !
I wonder if Day of the Jackal could be part of the deal with KL. Im sure they'd be interested. Or it's with another label, probably Criterion, which is why it hasnt come out yet :) I have the Arrow release but would love a USA release, either in UHD or a 4K scan..
I waited for the sale to see if any of the pre-orders might drop, which they didn't, so I went ahead and ordered 4 movies at the already reasonable price of 14.97 and got the free shipping. I was going to get them anyway but who knows if those 14.97 titles might have dipped - it was worth...
I finally picked up the Western Classics II set at Target in their buy 2 get 1 free sale. Hoping for the best here, it was a blind purchase but I enjoy Westerns ..
After today's double feature announcement it dawned on me that KL could also do a double feature with either the Warner Oland or William Powell films, if the mysterious 1929 film is something from either actor + 1 other. :thumbs-up-smiley:
That's true too. I have been wanting to see Oland's Fu Manchu films, and those could be possible as well. In my perfect world there would be a Powell set with his unreleased Philo Vance films and also first time releases for the Warner Oland Fu Manchu films, also in a set ! :) It would be nice...
Because there is at least one William Powell film, Im hoping for one of his Philo Vance films (Benson Murder, Greene Murder, Canary Murder) which are from 1929 and 1930...
And maybe this time Among the Living will finally get it's debut on home video.
KL did state Flesh and Fantasy is with...
