More Fox Noir in September, including Boomerang (1 Viewer)

[Paladin]

I wonder if Fox will pull Boomerang! again? I was hoping Fox might release The Locket and Undercurrent (1946) in the next film noir wave. And if they want to stretch the limits of noir why not release Blood on the Moon?

 

[BradleyS]

None of the films you mention are Fox titles. I'm very happy to see Fox is continuing the series, though.

I assume Boomerang! will still be spine #16 in the series. They should release a 4th title this time to keep the series "waves" in multiples of three. Not that it matters though.

 

[Eric Vedowski]

Undercurrent (1946) is already out in the Katharine Hepburn Collection.

I also was wondering about this. A 4th title would be great. I was able to buy "Boomerang" at Borders during the first semi-aborted release, thanks to information posted on here.

However Fox does it, I will be grateful for more noir.

Great to see continuity in their artwork

I see 'Boomerang' is the old-style off kilter artwork (easily explained by the fact that they have piles of them from the original pressing waiting for the issues to be resolved); DVD Pacific has both 'Moontide' and 'Road House' on pre-order, but no 'Boomerang'.

Will it? Won't it? Kinda thrilling ain't it....

Mate, worse than an episode of Days of Our Lives!!

 

[JohnRa]

Thanks for giving me a laugh this morning!

LOVE that Moontide cover. Gotta have it!

From the info on the site that features the artwork, it indicates that all 3 titles will have a collection of "Fox Noir" trailers; and among those trailers, the only one that hasn't yet been released on DVD is Roy Ward Baker's color noir, INFERNO (1953, originally released in 3-D), starring Robert Ryan, Rhonda Fleming and William Lundigan.

Though not necessarily indicative of an imminent release (for instance, some "Fox War" titles a couple of years ago had the trailer for DESTINATION GOBI included, and that film is still MIA in R1), I wonder if INFERNO is on tap for a potential "Fox Noir, Wave 10" release, maybe with MAN HUNT (considering it has been announced and cancelled a couple of times already) and VIOLENT SATURDAY. A commentary or interview with Rhonda Fleming would be most welcome, if it does come to pass. We shall see...

Today's issue of Video Business states that Fox's Film Noir Wave 9 consists of "Inferno, presented in its original 3D format, stars Robert Ryan and Rhonda Fleming in a twisted tale of deception and infidelity; in Moontide, evil is brewing; Road House is about a twisted love triangle. All street Sept. 2, prebook July 29..."

Boomerang isn't mentioned.

I've drawn attention to Roy Ward Baker's Inferno (1953) here and elsewhere and advocated a field-sequential 3-D release of this state-of-the-art stereoscopic film. I do wish Video Business had explained what they meant by "in its original 3-D format" on a DVD. Must be a mistake.

All other sources say Boomerang.

 

[John Hodson]

'Boomerang' has now appeared for pre-order at DVD Pacific alongside the other noirs; duly ordered!

 

[WadeM]

I've been waiting for Inferno. Hopefully it will be released.

I see Road House and Moontide up for pre-order on Amazon but no Boomerang.

 

[Eric Peterson]

I've been watching Amazon also with no sign of Boomerang.

 

[Dave S.G.]

Deep Discount has BOOMERANG! listed with a release date of 9/2/08.

DVDTalk reviews Moontide

 

[John Hodson]

All three of the latest wave of Fox noirs have shipped from DVD Pacific. I have everything crossed...
