That's an awesome lineup of future releases. I'm going to be broke this coming year.

What's been taking you so long? I went broke last year.

 

[commander richardson]

Fantastic! Will there be any extras?

please supply ENGLISH SUB-TITLES.....outstanding release is this...

 

[stevenHa]

I'm wondering if there will be any upgrade for Tobruk compared to the existing blu ray from Odeon from 2014 ?

 

[Camps]

As a '70s-cop-movie aficionado, I'm glad to see Newman's Law on the list of forthcoming KL titles. It's traveled curiously under-the-radar.

 

[Dick]

The upcoming list is outstanding, and I am forever grateful that FIVE GRAVES TO CAIRO (Billy Wilder) and BEAU GESTE, ICEMAN and LIVES OF THE BENGAL LANCERS are coming, among other gems.

Does this, then, constitute the complete list of forthcoming Universal titlesfrom Kino? I Still pine for MIRAGE, CAPTAIN NEWMAN, M.D., THE CAT AND THE CANARY (1939), THE GHOST BREAKERS, AFFLICTION, THE FAR COUNTRY, FLOWER DRUM SONG, HOLD THAT GHOST, MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS (1971), PRIMARY COLORS, W.C. FIELDS TITLES, and about a dozen more. But, damn, these Kino announcements are certainly reducing my wish list! Many thanks!

A question: Will the Kino release of THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS be the full, unedited, 98-minute edition, rather than the 84-min. edition recently available on the DVD?

Just looking at this list left me speechless. So many desert island discs, holy grails and whatnot are coming in the next few months. I've always despaired of the fact I'm not able to see excellent examples of the Paramount studio look, in both cinematography and art direction, from the 1930's & 40's. Films photographed by Charles Lang, Leo Tover and Victor Milner, as well as more examples of John Seitz' work; films like DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY, LOVE ME TONIGHT, THE GENERAL DIES AT DAWN, ANGEL, EASY LIVING, FIVE GRAVES TO CAIRO and A FOREIGN AFFAIR. Or that incredibly glossy and fantastic look of the Road pictures as created by Ted Tetzlaff and Lionel Lindon; they're all coming as well. And all these other films I've been pining for, but never expected to own a decent Blu-Ray of; DOCTOR CYCLOPS, THE GREAT MCGINTY, REAP THE WILD WIND, a number of Anthony Mann films including BEND OF THE RIVER, a couple of European productions from the late 60's I never thought would make it to Blu: THE CHAMPAGNE MURDERS and SECRET CEREMONY, and some serious must haves from the 70's as well: CHARLEY VARRICK & ULZANA'S RAID. Sure, there are films I was hoping to see that aren't on the list, but this is such a boon to lovers of classic cinema; there's so much on that list that I want and have been waiting for, I'll be much too busy watching these gems to even think about anything else. All I can say is, may whatever Higher Power anyone wishes to invoke eternally bless Kino.

A fantastic release schedule. Thank you very much KL.
I would love to purchase a French film called Les Ripoux ( and it’s sequels).
Is this film on your release schedule for the future?
Thank you in advance

Yup, an amazing list. I didn't know that The Great McGinty (1940) & Five Graves To Cairo (1943) were included, but so much stuff is being released it's easy to miss a title or two. I looked at my DVD of The Great McGinty the other week, a nigh on perfect film & Brian Donlevy's finest hour.

I was wondering when Mississippi Burning would be confirmed for a release date? I didn’t see it on the list. I passed on the TT release and the new scan sounds very promising!

The confirmed released are amazing. Quite a few titles, especially the pre 1950s films that I never thought would see the light of day.

 

[Matt Hough]

The Great McGinty is a wonderful film and an excellent set-up for the magnificent decade of production which was to come from Preston Sturges.

I'd Like to know about Mississippi Burning, too. I'm working on a "Bonus Features" project for it and the stuff you can find on YouTube is quite amazing.

 

[RBailey]

Along with NEWMAN'S LAW, I'm thrilled to see George Peppard's P.J. on the list as well.

 

[David Weicker]

The upcoming list is outstanding, and I am forever grateful that FIVE GRAVES TO CAIRO (Billy Wilder) and BEAU GESTE, ICEMAN and LIVES OF THE BENGAL LANCERS are coming, among other gems.

Does this, then, constitute the complete list of forthcoming Universal titlesfrom Kino?

There still are about a dozen titles unannounced from the Universal deal from across several decades.

Including:
about four more Bob Hope titles
another Preston Sturges film
A few spaghetti westerns

It will include a historian commentary and hopefully the trailer. We had a historian lined up, but he had a change of heart, so we'll get someone else. It will include optional English subtitles.

No idea, we will be getting the latest and best Universal master.

The list is just the Universal releases. The new 4K restoration of Mississippi Burning is scheduled for June 18.

 

[David Weicker]

Are you able to reveal/hint about when Charley Varrick will be released?

Also, is The Silent Partner still scheduled for May 28?

Also, for the Universal titles list, is the expectation that they will be 2019 releases? Or are some planned for 2020 or beyond?

 

[Tom St Jones]

Any more Michael Caine titles in this deal?
