Kino Releasing "Last of the Dogmen" on Blu-Ray! New Release Date is 05-17-22 (1 Viewer)

[Capt Cheese Pro]

This is the press release Kino sent out over a year ago. Theres no mention on thier site, and all info is no fresher than last year? Did they hit a snag? The Last of the Dogmen is an under rated film, DVDs are ok, but the transfer I have is a little lack luster. This movie cound use a good remastering and upgrade to Blu-ray at least.
I did see a reference to this film on KInos Facbook page just this year, and then nothing?? Anyone hear somthing about this title? I'd love to get a BR copy but all info has gone dark..?

Kino: 4K Remaster of Last of the Dogmen Prepped for Blu-ray​

Posted February 4, 2020 03:19 PM by

​ Kino Lorber have revealed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of Tab Murphy's film Last of the Dogmen (1995), starring Tom Berenger, Barbara Hershey, Kurtwood Smith, Steve Reevis, and Gregory Scott Cummins. The release is expected to arrive on the market later this year. Synopsis: Tom Berenger is Lewis Gates, a bounty hunter haunted by the past, hired to track down three escaped convicts in the Oxbow region of the Rockies. Their trail leads him to a secluded spot and signs of a struggle, but no bodies - only a strange arrow shaft remains. Gates takes the arrow to an expert in Native American culture, Lillian Sloan (Barbara Hershey), and together they set off in search of an impossible mystery - a tribe they believe cannot exist, massacred over 100 years ago.

Last month, the KL Insider said it was coming soon.

 

[Robert Crawford]

2022!

 

[Capt Cheese Pro]

After a year of waiting it seems kind of strange they just keep saying soon, maybe there’s some sort of property rights issue or something?

 

[Capt Cheese Pro]

2022!

It would be nice, where did you get the update from?

Per Kino Insider, at this late date, if a title has been announced without a 2021 release date then it’s not coming out until some time in 2022.

Was there any mention in any of the notices if they planned to release both versions with and without the narration?

No.

Yes I heard both versions, Wilford Brimley and the regular. Best way to communicate with Kino is Facebook Messenger, least that’s how I have been. I’ve been posting updates here below. Last I heard was Feb or March of 22’. However, each time I ask it gets pushed out. Been asking since Jan 21’. I’ve asked which cover too, not sure yet. Go to the link below to see my updates and answers to questions. This is my number 1 favorite movie. Cannot wait til it’s released!

Actually, yes, they did say both versions will be released.

As Robert Crawford alluded to, they did update everyone with 'no new news' and that means 'not until 2022'.

Until they actually have a date, that 'no new news' is still the most current piece of information.


Unless you want a 'still no new news' update. ("Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead")

KL has been teasing us for years, saying that that a HD restoration of Tab Murphy's film "Last of the Dogmen" was coming, but with the Covid issues dragging on and the aniticipation of this titles release, seeming to be on and then off again, brought furstration to everyone involoved I'm sure!! I know it was frustrating to me personaly. From the time I saw it in the theaters and eventually on DVD it is one of my favorite western titles, and a "go to" when I get in the mood for a modern day western. Sporting some cool new packaging artwork and quite a few bonus materials...I'm exccited!!! And Director Approved neve hurts!!!
I was just on the KL site and dug this up for everybody!!! It is slated for 5/17/22 - I can wait!!! Not yet set for pre-sale, but keep your eyes on it!! So far this is the info -
Directed by Tab Murphy

Tom Berenger (Shoot to Kill, Shattered) is Lewis Gates, a bounty hunter haunted by the past, hired to track down three escaped convicts in the Oxbow region of the Rockies. Their trail leads him to a secluded spot and signs of a struggle, but no bodies—only a strange arrow shaft remains. Gates takes the arrow to an expert in Native American culture, Lillian Sloan (Barbara Hershey, Hoosiers, The Public Eye), and together they set off in search of an impossible mystery—a tribe they believe cannot exist, massacred over 100 years ago. What they discover deep in the Oxbow may prove an answer to both Lillian’s dreams and Lewis’s nightmares. But for now, it’s a desperate race against time if they are to save the last of the Dogmen from the destructive forces of the modern world. Tab Murphy (Gorillas in the Mist, Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Tarzan) wrote and made his directorial debut with this beautifully photographed modern-day western filled with romance, adventure and Native American folklore. Co-starring Kurtwood Smith (RoboCop) and Steve Reevis (Dances with Wolves).
