Scott,
any more info on this title
one of the releases i am waiting for

Fox is handling the 4K restoration of Hangover Square, so we need to work around their schedule. We hope to release it by the Fall.

I just watched the new Blu-ray for "Sunset In The West" and it is absolutely stunning! Just wanna throw it out there that if Kino ever wants to release any other Roy Rogers movies, after seeing how good this one looked, I'm definitely onboard.

We have one more Rogers/Witney movie in TruColor and we hear it even looks better than Sunset. We also will be releasing a couple of more TruColor restorations in 2017 and 2018.

A gentleman with the initials QT is quite the fan of the Rogers/Whitney films. Perhaps Paramount has a restored master of THE GOLDEN STALLION?

Thank you, sir, you made my day. I'll pre-order any TruColor restorations you offer us!

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Six of the Roy Rogers Trucolor features are lost but thirteen are complete. Not sure how many have been restored though.

Wow, yet again, Kino hits it out of the ballpark with the fabulous Old Ironsides, a phenomenal silent classic with Farrell, Ralston, Beery and Bancroft directed by the great James Cruz. My only heartbreak is that, if this is the last of the silent Paramounts, it might mean that there is no hope for Cruz's masterpiece, The Covered Wagon. Please tell me that that isn't so. Heartbreaking, as I've seen this film three times in theater and it is one of the best motion pictures I've ever experienced. Mr. Lime, is there no hope?

He said there was one more.

i hope one of them is Come Next Spring (1956) (which i haven't seen) since i'm a Steve Cochran fan and I love The Quiet Man!
i think i see there isn't any official DVD either!

Mr. Lime, how long does it take to release a title from announcement to actual release date?

Is it different for each title, or do you have a set length of time? Are there factors involved?

Thanks if you can answer in any way.

 

[Joel Arndt]

Scott, thanks for the heads-up regarding The Hurricane (1937) going out of print. I picked up the Blu-ray just now along with four other titles including Sunset in the West (1950) due to all the enthusiastic discussion of TruColor films here and Josh Steinberg's review in his thread.

It varies, some (One, Two, Three) are announced a couple of months before release, others (Hangover Square) was announced months ago and we're still not close to an actual street date. There are always unforeseen issues that come up.

Krakatoa East Of Java, thank you!!!!

 

[Randy Korstick]

Thanks Kino. Looking forward to Krakatoa. I can finally retire the ancient DVD.

Very happy at this news! But I have to ask the inevitable. Will it be the original uncut Roadshow version including overture and intermission?

I didn't see it on the Krakatoa master. The master for Duel in the Sun is the roadshow version.

Still gotta wonder how "Krakatoa" was so egregiously misnamed as being "East Of Java." Not a lot of quality control there, and it was never corrected.

Great news on Duel In The Sun, not so great news on Krakatoa East Of Java but I totally understand that as a third party, you can only work with the material you've been given!

Well, if you do a Phileas Fogg, then the title is correct (although it may take you 79 days to get there)

 

[Stephen PI]

Hopefully the audio on Java will be discrete LCRS.(Original 4-track mix made at Pinewood Studios sound department).
During my time at Disney, I recall they had a 70mm print.
If they don't have the 35mm fullcoat master, it should not be a problem extracting the LCRS from the print. I think Chace can do this. I don't think a two-track stereo was on the dvd, so a discrete track (4.0 or 5.1) should be a possibility.

Misterlime,

Do you know if the HD master is the 131 minute version that was on the MGM dvd? While that version was missing the overture and intermission, it at least had the longer cut of the movie. Also I'm sure it might be too early to say, but do you know if their remaster was in the 2:20 70mm aspect ratio, or the 2:35 ratio they used from the 35mm prints?
