Elvis isn't part of the Paramount deal

I’m not sure, but I hope so!

 

[Robert Crawford]

Can we make suggestions about the Paramount deal here?
If so Smoky, Elvis films , The Undefeated,

If you're talking about the John Wayne/Rock Hudson "The Undefeated" it's not part of the deal for two reasons. First off, no John Wayne movies in this current Paramount deal and secondly that movie is a Fox movie that was released on Blu-ray back in 2013. Of course, Fox movies belong to Disney now.

 

[Robert Crawford]

I’m not sure, but I hope so!

Are you talking about the Carpenter directed and Kurt Russell "Elvis"? If so that was released by Shout! Factory on Blu-ray back in 2016.

No, I’m talking about Elvis Presley’s Paramount films like Loving You and Blue Hawaii.
And thanks for the info on Undefeated. I missed the older Blu-ray, so I was hoping for a remastered version. If it’s with Fox , I guess we won’t see it any time soon.

Apparently, Elvis nor John Wayne movies are a part of this current Paramount deal.

And, to add to what Robert said, the Insider posted earlier...

We asked for Blue Hawaii, they said no. They'll most likely release them as a collection, I'm just guessing.

 

[LouA]

And, to add to what Robert said, the Insider posted earlier...

That’s very possible- they’ve done so more than once in the DVD format. This year may be “hot” one for Elvis due to the upcoming big budget Baz Lehrman biopic.

Loving You is not longer controlled by Paramount.

Kino has stated no John Wayne films, and no to Worlds, as another company has licensed it out.

 

[cadavra]

Loving You is not longer controlled by Paramount.

Believe it or not, it's owned by NBC!

NBC did own it in 2002 and was released on DVD by Lions Gates, but I think the DVD is long out of print and can only be found on ebay now.

 

[RobertMG]

Would hope opens classics from Republic like all those great serials and maybe Terrytoons! 1940's Mighty Mouse! Okay see no serials in the dealio -------VCI c'mon contact Paramount!

May we know when in June the next Kino Lorber Sale will be?

 

[LouA]

Believe it or not, it's owned by NBC!

Yes, as part of the 68 Comeback Special deal. But NBC hasn’t done much with it, and it’s out of print and I’d bet KL would do a great job with it.

OK, after news broke about the new Kino/Paramount deal, I gathered up some details posted by the Kino Insider across different message boards posting about this and I'd thought I'd like to summarize some of the details known so far:

Breakdown
71 titles are in this deal, with 3 renewed titles from the previous deal from both Paramount and CBS apiece
43 titles are making their US Blu-ray debut
8 titles are making their home video debut
16 titles are being released on UHD Blu-ray
At least one 3-D movie is part of the deal
Some of the titles were previously released by Imprint Films
A couple titles are from the Republic Pictures library
A few titles are in the film noir genre

Breakdown of the deal by decade
1940's - 2
1950's - 14
1960's - 12
1970's - 17
1980's - 9
1990's - 8
2000's - 3

Confirmed as NOT part of this deal
Any John Wayne, Elvis Presley, Miramax or TV movies
Any movies previously released on DVD or Blu-ray by Olive Films
Any movies previously released by Paramount on MOD Blu-ray
Any movie serials
Any Silent era movies (even renewals, as the breakdown makes clear)
Any movie currently entangled in some sort of legal rights quagmire (Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Little Darlings, Sunburn, etc.)
Beau James
Borsalino
Catch-22 (confirmed as licensed out to another label)
Compromising Positions (licensed to another label)
Fighting Back (licensed to another label)
Gunn
The Keep (the reason is pretty obvious)
When Worlds Collide (the only title the Insider would confirm as Kino asked for, but was denied)

Hope that helps. I can't wait to see what's coming from Kino in this deal!

It looks like most of the Paramount titles coming out on Blu-ray will be released this year. The 4K/UHD titles will be released this year and in 2023.

 

[Robert Crawford]

May we know when in June the next Kino Lorber Sale will be?

If I had to guess based on the conclusion of their last sale which began on March 24th and ended in April, I would say the next Kino sale will happen towards the end of June into July.

 

[t1g3r5fan]

It looks like most of the Paramount titles coming out on Blu-ray will be released this year. The 4K/UHD titles will be released this year and in 2023.

Also, all the 15 remaining 4K UHD Blu-ray titles are all ones that have been previously released on Blu-ray.

Well, it looks like "We are Soldiers" won't be one of them based on the Insider's comments in the other thread. I do wonder if "Tropic Thunder" will have the two versions of the film on it. The theatrical cut has been in 4K digitally, but I wonder about the director's cut of the film.

 

[YANG]

Well, it looks like "We are Soldiers" won't be one of them based on the Insider's comments in the other thread. ...

if WWS is not getting 4K release under boutique label, i hope that Paramount will release it with their badge if the home video right still valid between Paramount and Icon Pictures. Or else, its time for Icon to look for international publisher to do a global release.
