The original Image versions did not contain the English versions. Black Sunday did have an English track, but it was a dub for the Italian version. The AIP versions of Black Sunday and Black Sabbath have never been released.
From my understanding,the rights to the Hammers in question always belonged to Bill Lustig. He brought them to Anchor Bay and they agreed to use them for a period of time. Once their contract expired, the films went to back to Lustig (ie. Blue Underground). He never re-released them because he...
I thought I'd give this thread a bump. TCM's web store is currently accepting pre-orders for this. The information lists it as coming out on 3/06/07. http://turnerclassic.moviesunlimited...asp?sku=D64241
That is some very cluttered looking cover art. I really liked this movie and, despite a few missteps in the third act, thought it was one of the more compelling pictures I've seen in a long time. Good to see it's coming to DVD in a solid edition. With this, Mariano Baino's Dark Waters and a...
The Hi-Def transfer is good news, but I'm not sure how much. Sony is starting up a horror themed channel, so the transfer may be intended for that service. Night of the Creeps, along with a host of unreleased AIP films - I'm thinking the dead in the water next batch of Midnight Movies - could be...
I loved this movie and thought it was quite brilliant. I was really looking forward to a 2 disc edition, so I hope that DVDActive is right. I did a quick search of Amazon and the only art they have up is the exact art DVDActive has for the two disc version, but they indicate it belongs to the...
Should this happen, I think we won't be seeing too many King Kongs or Lord of the Rings type films. Huge budget spectacles are gambles, even with both the theatrical distribution and home video arms firmly in place. You cut off one stream entirely and you're looking at double the risk. Kong...
What Shyamalan says is true, to some extent. The elimination or reduction of the theatrical release to DVD window will hurt theaters in the short term, but I don't see it killing the theatrical experience completely. I don't see DVD doing what TV couldn't. I think this could conceivably...
Well, if Steven Soderberg has anything to say about it, it won't be that long. There are plans in place to release his next feature, Bubble, on DVD at the same time it hits theaters.
I remember an interview with Romero where he mentioned how people always asked him why he had been inactive for so long. He mused that he had made more money developing and writing scripts for studios during the time frame when he "wasn't active" than he had when he was actually getting films...
Romero's Dead series is like a comic book series in terms of its flexible time frame. Batman, for instance, has consistently changed and altered his technology to remain contemporary. In reality many more years have passed than the comic book observes. Batman isn't a hundred years old. He's...
