Saturday's Facebook Announcement:

Coming Soon on Blu-ray!

Brand New 2K Masters!

The Mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu (1929)
The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu (1930)

From the Director of The Count of Monte Cristo & Son of Frankenstein!
Also Starring William Austin

Exciting news, as there had been some rights problems in the past (which evidently still haven't been resolved for DAUGHTER OF THE DRAGON). Hans Dreier's art direction for these is Hall of Fame astounding.

Another in the remarkable series of announcements that we regularly receive from KL.
Their commitment to releasing a broad variety of titles makes them my favourite label.
Many thanks, KL

I think somewhere on another thread someone said copyright last 95 years so won't this be a non-issue for DAUGHTER OF THE DRAGON - watching it on YOUTUBE it looks like a treat.

Well, Flame of New Orleans is, not sure about the pre-orders, but definitely excited about them.

If Kino could only make a deal with the House of Mouse what treasures would we see! I literally am thrilled to pre-order today's great announcement!

They've done it before, as they released a few of the lesser Touchstone titles a few years ago.

Hell, I'd be delighted if they could just pry loose some of those countless Fox titles that have been deep-sixed.

The preorders are somewhat discounted, but are not part of this sale.

Me too! And if they would let VCI get back the US Vid rights to 1951's Scrooge - like Disney has any interest in releasing that title! As I posted on another thread the BFI did a really great restoration and we need that stateside!

Another film on "the just have list."

 

[ahollis]

Fantastic announcement. Thank you Kino.

 

[borisfw]

Wow! Another great film from KL. I have a thing for WW2 films made during the war. This is one of the better ones.

Another film on "the just have list."

That should have said, "must have. " Why would autocorrect change that?

 

[Sadsack]

I have no idea which masters the DVD releases used for the two Heston films.

We have the Blu-ray rights to INVASION, so we may release it at a future date.

Thanks for the reply. Usually announcements mention if there's a new scan. Without this implies an older scan is used (but at a higher resolution for blu-ray). Which sounds like the case for the two Heston films.
