Hi KL just curious about ETA's for The Magic Sword and Konga ..2020 ?
Looking forward to having them in my collection !

I wish Kino would stop releasing all these Pollyanna, feel-good films and get into some things that have a little more bite in them.

Gary “where’s all the sex, horror and drama?” O.

Watched both Robbery and The Black Windmill from my sale items the past few days. Robbery in particular looks amazing and it's a great film. Currently in the middle of Leon Morin: Priest (I have to watch my movies after everyone else is in bed). Thanks again!

My sale titles arrived today:

The Covered Wagon
Elmer Gantry
The Man Who Could Cheat Death
The Neptune Factor
The Secret Invasion
The Skull

 

[LeoA]

My sale order arrived today as well. Now the challenge of figuring out what to watch first starts.

I'm not a big fan of older sci-fi but am planning on blind buying a copy of 4D Man primarily because of the Twilight Zone-esque storyline, I am a huge fan of TZ but not so much rubber-suit/no budget Ed Wood-type feature films. I have a feeling I won't be disappointed with this.

Glenn Erickson says you probably won't be disappointed with your blind buy. He's convinced me to pick it up.

We're hoping for December 2019 releases for both.

Will 'Murder, He Says' make it out this year?

Early next year.

 

[LeoA]

Not the answer I was hoping for since I was thinking of placing another order this Fall, but I suppose I can wait a few extra weeks.

Thanks

Kino Lorber Insider:

Any chance for Kino to release Jean Renoir's Swamp Water on DVD and Blu-ray? I know it is a Fox title and Twilight Time released it on Blu-ray on February 14, 2012 (which is sold out), but I don't think it ever received a DVD release in Region 1.

Thanks, as always, for considering my request.

Great film that needs another release so as to be back in circulation. I was fortunate to pick up the Blu from TT just before they were sold out.

Gary "like Leo, I was hoping for an earlier release of Murder, He Said as to pick it up in a Fall sale too - but it can wait" O.

Gary:

I completely agree with you. I saw Swamp Water on demand on cable a few years ago and loved it. Afterward, I went searching for a DVD of it to no avail and the Blu-ray had already sold out.

I'm hoping Kino or a similar company can bring it back into circulation.

 

[David Weicker]

I have a few questions for the Insider.

Are you planning on having Announcements this weekend?

When do you think you will announce or confirm the final Universal 80s title?

Are you expecting The Great McGinty as a 2019 or 2020 release?

Thanks

[Richard M S]

Ha, I was expecting another horror title. This is a great surprise and a different, offbeat film; A Thousand Clowns is such a time capsule of NYC as well.

 

[JohnMor]

Great news! Definite purchase for me.

 

[LeoA]

Do we know if 'Ladybug Ladybug' is scheduled for next year? I'm assuming like 'Murder, He Says', that it's probably planned for early 2020 rather than this fall.

I thought this was exceptional when TCM premiered it. A good 90% or so of my Kino Lorber purchases are of 1930's and 40's films, but this one will be one of the exceptions for sure.
