Are you able to confirm if there will be an announcement tomorrow or not?

Are you able to confirm if there will be an announcement tomorrow or not?

April 15th.

 

[PMF]

April 15th.

Waiting for April 15th can be very Taxing.

 

[PMF]

Title Suggestions for TT:

"Going In Style"; Art Carney, George Burns and Lee Strasberg.
"Harry and Tonto"; Art Carney
"Gigot"; Jackie Gleason and directed by Gene Kelly

 

[Peter Apruzzese]

"Going in Style" is a Warner title. The other two are Fox, so maybe.

 

[The Obsolete Man]

Yes, but this year, they have until April 18 for the announcement.

 

[PMF]

Well, then, if Warner's has "Going in Style", then let's substitute that for one other Fox title:
"The Turning Point" (1977)
11 Oscar Nominations, including: Picture, Director, Writing, Cinematography, Sound, Art Direction, Editing, Supporting Actor & Actress; plus Actress for both Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancroft.
Not a bad take for a film that was also up against "Star Wars", "Annie Hall", "Julia" and "The Goodbye Girl";
which, BTW, are now all available on BD.

Okay, I'm cheating; one other suggestion:
"Madame Sousatzka" (1988): Dir. John Schlesinger; Shirley MacLaine, Peggy Ashcroft, Twiggy.

 

[PMF]

Looking forward to "The Fortune Coookie" and "How to Steal a Million".

My Twilight Time Hope-Fors:

Hammerhead (1968, Columbia/Sony): Judy Geeson kills it in this Bond-knockoff spyfi thriller. Bonus: Diana Dors.

Eyes Of Laura Mars (1978, Columbia/Sony): I know that supposedly Indicator overseas is releasing this across the pond. Would like a quality American TT release here.

Thank God Its Friday (1978, Columbia/Sony): OK I know that this isn't a genre that TT normally releases but if not TT, how bout Kino or Criterion step up. Hey this film won a Oscar (Best Song, "Last Dance" by Donna Summer).

Die Die My Darling (1965, Columbia/Sony): Tallulah Bankhead later in her film career is absolutely terrifying as the fanatical mean ol lady. Also known as "Fanatic".

Cinderella Liberty (1973, 20th Century Fox): Marsha Mason 5 years prior to The Goodbye Girl. Caught this on TV in 74 but didn't quite understand it then. Would love it now.

 

[Jobla]

I would like:

EFFECT OF GAMMMA RAYS ON MAN-IN-THE-MOON MARIGOLDS
SHOCK TREATMENT (1964)
CINDERELLA LIBERTY
THE INCIDENT (which has been released abroad)
THE CRIMSON KIMONO
HOMICIDAL

 

[BRAD1963]

CINDERELLA LIBERTY
THE INCIDENT (which has been released abroad)
THE CRIMSON KIMONO
HOMICIDAL

HOMICIDAL was recently released by Mill Creek.

Has the Year of the Comet been cancelled?

 

[Camps]

My Twilight Time hope-for: Gorilla at Large -- but only if in 3D!

 

[Brandon Conway]

Has the Year of the Comet been cancelled?

TT on Facebook commented on its slight delay:

"Just a heads-up that TT has decided to put back the release of William Goldman's YEAR OF THE COMET (1992) a couple of weeks as we are trying to "clear" one last element for the title - it's a gamble as we might not be able to include it in the end, but we are having a go and it will be a treat for movie music lovers if we're successful...wish us luck!"

 

[skylark68]

Still crossing my fingers on an epic. Maybe Sodom and Gomorrah?

I'm guessing that means they're trying to clear the use of John Barry's rejected score - which remains unreleased AFAIK.

That would be great news.

This is a Universal title. Has TT released anything from Universal yet?

 

[trajan007]

How about DOCTOR DOLITTLE? 2017 is the 50th anniversary of the TODD-AO film.

 

[t1g3r5fan]

I'm personally holding out hope for Wilson (1944), as it's the 100th anniversary of our entry into WWI.
