[John Hermes]

Good news for Elvis Blu-ray fans this August (40th anniversary of his death), Between TT and Kino there are three titles being released.

 

[Konstantinos]

In for the 2 "Summer" films!
Thank you!

 

[Bernard McNair]

The Emperor in August looks to be an interesting film. Really looking forward to that and Kid Galahad which will both be pre-orders for me.
Thank you TT!!!

I already have The Long, Hot Summer on BD from Germany which is Region Free so I need to know more details about Twilight Time's release before I double-dip. Suddenly, Last Summer and Kid Galahad are buys. The Emperor in August is a title I have to find out more about to see if it interests me.

3 Summer movies...all good...even diluted Williams and Faulkner.

Me too. Since it has only ever been released as 2 channel stereo, it is unlikely that the original 3 (or 4) track magnetic stereo soundtrack even still exists. If by chance it does and Twilight Time includes it, I will be enticed to re-buy.

I also have the German disc of The Long, Hot Summer. I seem to recall someone posting that the film has since been remastered. If that is correct, Twilight Times' disc might be noticeably better.

Suddenly Last Summer is an automatic and mandatory purchase! I'm still undecided about Kid Galahad.

 

[Andrew Budgell]

VERY excited about Suddenly, Last Summer!

Thanks, Twilight Time!

 

[BRAD1963]

At last! The Long Hot Summer.

The Long Hot Summer has been given a 4k remaster from Fox recently. The German is from an old master.

 

[BRAD1963]

By the way, I like the once a month announcements.

If true then I'll double dip!

This is true. And, being Twilight Times famous for using the best available sources for their releases, I am assuming this 4k restoration will be the one used in the Bluray.

Very excited with this annoucement. I'm in for The Long Hot Summer and Suddenly, Last Summer.

I am another one that prefers the new implemented "monthly announcement" mode.

 

[Matt Hough]

Yes, I like the monthly announcements, too, and these August announcements contain some prime titles.

 

[Rodney]

The Emperor in August looks to be an interesting film. Really looking forward to that and Kid Galahad which will both be pre-orders for me.
Thank you TT!!!

I hadn't heard of The Emperor in August prior to this announcement, but being a history buff, that is right up my alley. I recently finished reading The Reluctant Admiral and the movie looks like it dovetails nicely from that.
Blind buy for me.

 

[Jimbo64]

Both "Summer" titles for me, thanks TT!

 

[BRAD1963]

If true then I'll double dip!

I'm not sure if I should post this. Because it will open the door to TT being bombarded by questions and requests. But this listing is quite spot on regarding classic films and 4k. There are some titles missing though of titles released that are 4k. This list is updated throughout the week.

Thank you as I seriously doubt TT will release these upcoming Blu-rays without using the best elements available. Matter of fact, I'm looking forward to both "Summer" releases now.

Considering how invested both Fox and Sony are with remastering their classic catalogs it only makes sense to wait for the best presentation. 4k seems to be where home viewing is headed. When TT says they are waiting for a 4k remaster they mean it. Doctor Dolittle could of had a release already, but it would have been a big let down.
