[YANG]

just wondering...
with Paramount acquisition of DreamWorks and its library of catalogued titles... will we get to see “Premium Director’s Work” in “Paramount’s Premium” label release? Such as... Speilberg?

 

[Britton]

Kino just reached a new agreement with Paramount for 71 titles, so hopefully many of those August titles that are Paramount movies will be release here in the States by Kino which would be much cheaper for many of us.

Would be awesome to get a theatrical cut of The Warriors. The Imprint is just too rich for my blood and the theatrical is streaming on Paramount+.

 

[borisfw]

Wow ! What a lineup of movies. Secret of the Incas,I am the Law, Golden Boy and the film noir set are on my must have list.

ALL quality titles in that noir set. Kino, take note.

Haven’t all his films been released?

 

[YANG]

well... some are depleting in supply in the market, some need reworking on transfer qualities... Amistad, Munich and Deep Impact comes to mind.

Deep Impact has already been reworked as the HD digital upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision about a year ago.

 

[YANG]
