Fantastic news!

I hope the discussions with Universal also pan out soon.

 

[CarlLaFong]

Oh myyyyyyy! I'll put my polite request in now for "Dr. Syn, Alias The Scarecrow." The Disney limited-run DVD is beautiful, and disappeared quickly. I'd love to see this on blu!

 

[Randy Korstick]

Call me Surprised but definitely not disappointed if it could include Disney Live action films of the 50's -70's

 

[Carcosa]

Hmmm....perhaps something wicked this way comes....

 

[revgen]

Song of the South?

I know it's most likely going to be Buena Vista/Touchstone releases and live action films, but one can always hope.

 

[skylark68]

A Light in the Forest has never had a wide release DVD. I believe it was released as an educational feature. That would be a great one. Plus blu rays of The Great Locomotive Chase and Westward Ho! The Wagons would improve my Fess Parker collection...

So we don't get ahead of ourselves, here's what I can share with you:

I'm sorry, but at this time, they are not willing to license any title they've released on DVD under their own banners. We have titles from the ABC, Selznick, Touchstone and Hollywood libraries. This was a package deal, mostly pre-selected, so to get all the gems, we also had to pick up a few lesser titles, but as we know, some of those lesser titles are also regularly requested.

We'll continue to try, we've had discussions with all the major studios.

Thanks Mr. Lime!

A little info regarding the Paramount transfer: SUNSET IN THE WEST is a Trucolor title. The sources were the 35mm Red/Blue original negatives (w/a couple of replacement sections that were scanned from the 35mm Red/Blue positive protection masters). Everything was scanned in 4K, recombine/color correction done in HD.

Good news about the ABC Films.

 

[David Weicker]

Hoping for
Take The Money And Run
Lovers And Other Strangers

But I know you will surprise us with many gems

 

[skylark68]

Is Hell in the Pacific an ABC film? I get a little confused about exactly what ABC produced. I think SpaceCamp was one?

 

[Louis Letizia]

When it comes to this library...even the lesser titles are fun. excellent job!

Im sure like in the MGM deal that brought us both THIEVES LIKE US and GORP!, so too will this bring us the likes of both WHATS LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT and CABIN BOY!

 

[richardburton84]

Excellent news about the new deal! As far as the Selznick titles are concerned, I sure hope Duel in the Sun is in there as it's quite a good film and the Technicolor photography should look absolutely stunning on Blu-ray. Regardless, I look to seeing the titles that come about from this deal.

 

[Matt Hough]

And The Paradine Case, the one Hitchcock/Selznick collaboration that hasn't made it to high definition. A lot of people can't stand the movie, but I really like it (I'm a sucker for courtroom dramas).

 

[Konstantinos]

Wow! Although it was my wishful thinking, never expected that!

Hope for Spacecamp then and the 2 Three men and a ... films!
Also a new 4k remaster of Pretty Woman would be more than welcomed!

 

[ajabrams]

A nice blu-ray of the beautiful Technicolor Selznick Tom Sawyer...?

 

[PODER]

Crossing all fingers and toes that the Disney releases will include English Subtitles! Kino is very catch
as catch can on these ...

Both are ABC titles.
