anyone know if this is still looking towards a late 2022 release? The Diamond Wizard has a release date of 11/15/22 so hopefully this isn't far behind, "The Golden Age"

I think you can kiss 2022 goodbye. That title isn't even listed in this post which tells me it's further down the road.

Hey I'm good with spring or summer of 2023 I mean how long has this one been sitting and nobody wanted to do any movement on it Shout factory for years; and finally it gets to 3D Film Archive and Kino, and an announcement is made, so if it takes a little longer, then it takes that long to get it right, I'll be happy.

Also -- any word on the Leviathan 4K release?

It won't be out for a while, most likely Spring 2023.

Is Bwana Devil 3D still coming out? I don't see it listed on your Post#2 in the main thread - either in the announced dates, or the coming soon section?

Knocked it out of the park once again, more commentaries, and Craig Beam's third part of the mini doc,

all of this has me waiting for Christmas this year, and now i am wondering what the two new Universal TV shows could be even more!

I think:

Prison Girls Early 2023
Robot Monster after Prison Girls
Bwana Devil after Robot Monster

A shout-out to excellent customer service:
My 4K of For a Few Dollars More froze at the 38' mark and resumed playback about 20 seconds later. I carefully examined and wiped the disc in case there were smudges (there weren't any). It still froze.
I contacted Kino. The reply was prompt. A suggestion to try playing the disc on another player and to make sure the firmware was up to date. Since I only have one 4K player, I made sure that the firmware was up to date. The disc still froze at the exact place and resumed playback at the same spot.
I updated Kino with my results and a replacement disc was mailed to me the same day. I didn't even have to return the defective disc.
That's excellent customer service! Kudos all around!

Kino Lorber Insider mentioned on another site that it will come out sometime in 2023. My guess is that it'll be probably be later in the year.

Longing for the day when I see Kino announce "Mysteries, Vol XI", "Island Adventures, Volume XI", "Roy Rogers and/or B-Westerns, Vol XI", and "Domestic Comedies/Musicals, Vol XI".

Surely all those film genres are as popular as Noir, right?


Gary "of course I know that's only a pipe-dream, but I'd love to see the day when an 11th volume of any of those genres was announced" O.

Just saw this announced for release 10/25/22 - thrilled about it!
“Remastered in HD by Paramount Pictures – From a 6K Scan of the 35mm VistaVision Original Camera Negative

Just wonder why not UHD!

We wouldn't be around for too much longer, if we started to release minor titles like this on UHD. No one in their right mind would.

Not pushing too hard but guess the Mr. Wong films next year?

Yes, we haven't even started working on the masters yet.

Too many releases, too many restorations.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

There's not. But I would love for us to sign a deal where every film we've acquired was already restored by the studio.

Kino Insider:

Are you still going to release a 4K/UHD of "The Train"? If so, I'm assuming it's coming next year.
