International Via Vision Entertainment announces new premium Blu-ray label IMPRINT (2 Viewers)

I really want THE KILLING FIELDS just for the bonus features, as the Warner Blu was barebones. Such a steep price for one film... :/

in the later days of DVD period... which happens roughly 7~10yrs ago, the copyright to the Killing Fields seems not to be Warner Exclusive anymore. that's what happened to my country at least.

Thanks Boris! I’ll check those retailers.

The Killing Fields wasn’t a “purely” WB title; it was produced by Goldcrest Films and distributed by an alliance of Columbia-EMI-Warner in the UK, with Warner handling the North American rights. It looks like Australian distribution was handled by CEL Film Distribution with video rights administered by Star Video.

The North American video rights still appear to vest with WB, as the iTunes version still carries a WB copyright.

Hey guys, how do you order Imprint titles? I’m asking because I typically have bought titles through Amazon and the pricing has been what appears to be retail or so. I was checking the upcoming The World of Suzie Wong on Amazon and it’s nearly double the pricing from Imprint’s website.

You might already be aware -- but I've noticed that a lot of people don't seem to be -- that the prices on Via Vision/Imprint's website are in Australian dollars. Currently, the exchange rate is roughly AU$1.00=US$0.70, so a typical Imprint title priced at AU$35 should be about US$25.

Hi Jerry, yes. The Via Vision website shows The World of Suzie Wong is on sale. But when you add the price and shipping charges in US dollars, it ends up being close to the Deep Discount price. it’s actually less to buy from Deep Discount with their free shipping.

Last night I watched ON THE BEACH and FALLOUT. The supplemental features are outstanding. It was fascinating to hear an audio interview with Gregory Peck from the late 90s with his memories of making ON THE BEACH. The print of ON THE BEACH is sharp but clearly is the same one used for the US and UK blu ray. It would be awesome to have a 4K restoration of ON THE BEACH.

Thanks again Boris/Frank for the Deep Discount recommendation. My first order from them arrived today of The World of Suzie Wong. Nice it was shipped in box, though the lower corner was slightly dinged. I look forward to seeing how this disc compares to the iTunes digital and old DVD. Should be better image quality.

I forgot to add, now that I bought The World of Susie Wong, Paramount will probably release a Region 1 disc next year. When Worlds Collide will be coming soon and Criterion did release The Flight of the Phoenix.

Additionally On The Beach has a 5.! stereo option.

Here is a trailer from Imprint on upcoming release of Dersu Uzala. Just purchased it on DeepDiscount so i hope the print used for it will look ok but do not expect a great looking image unless a major restoration was done on it. Does contain a commentary so that's good news.

It will probably look the same as this:

I see the same "shimmering" issue that was on the Ruscico dvd of Dersu Uzala which made the disc unwatchable.

How does the blu ray of Suzie Wong look?

 

[Nelson Au]

Hey Ken, I have not watched the Suzie Wong set yet. I was pre-occupied by the big Star Trek 4K blu ray releases.


I could find time to see it this weekend.
