I already have the original DVD and Twilight Time Blu-ray, but I will gladly double dip the DVD release!

Thank you Kino, especially putting up with me about asking you about this time and time again!

Now these films are back in print for everyone to see!

And I didn't nor would I expect your bring them to Blu-ray too!!! Well done!

Just out of curiosity, why would you double-dip the DVD release if you already have the original DVD AND the TT blu-ray?

I get this question all the time. First off, I won't be buying the Kino Blu-ray, less something is there the Twilight release didn't.

Second, the Kino release will most likely have the remastered transfers and most of the extras from the DVD and Blu-ray (save for the TT commentary and the music only tracks). But I'll be keeping the original MGM DVD for the DTS track (which probably won't be on the Kino DVD) and because it was sourced from the laserdisc, the credit-less version of the Zero-X assembly sequence in Thunderbirds Are Go. Unless, if Kino can add that as an extra.

But why would you even need the Kino DVD if you already have the TT blu-ray though?

Different format. Plus, I still buy DVDs.

MifuneFan · 03-23-2017, 05:28 PM

Is this is the first former TT title to be re-released by another label here?

Nailwraps · 03-23-2017, 05:42 PM

It appears to be!

Rereleased by a label other than the studio that owns the title... yes, I believe so.

javi92 · 03-23-2017, 05:47 PM

Sweet news! Never got around to picking up the TT.

jshaide · 03-23-2017, 05:48 PM

Going to stick with the TT, though I'm a little annoyed I paid 30 bucks for something that I would probably now be able to get for like 12.

Not if you count Sony re-releasing CHRISTINE themselves.

That's why I said label, and not studio

. Sony has also re-released Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? through a special agreement with TT.

Gotcha. Then yes, I guess it is

Good to see a TT titles being released somewhere else! Too many good films are OOP

bigshot · 03-24-2017, 02:41 AM

I think we are going to see a lot of "old wine in new bottles" in the next few years. When the license runs out, it's dirt cheap for another label to pick it up and release it with a couple of new extras and try to get people to double dip. The problem is, these films are not the sorts of films you would re-watch often. I suppose a lower SRP might make a few people who didn't jump on it the first time around join the party, but honestly, how many of those people are there for a cult title like this?

You know, you just can't help yourself can you? Just like in the Being There thread, you make massive assumptions about other people's viewing habits. The Thundebirds franchise is massively popular internationally and they're exactly the types of films that people watch often.

Yeah, I guess popularity is the reason why Kino decided to release it on blu as well. Their other TT re-releases are DVD-only, but this one is the exception.

MGM is cash strapped and will license out their catalog to anyone pretty much. So it figures this will not be the last TT sell out of an MGM title that reappears from another label. There will be many of them, most likely, provided there's a label that's interested in revisiting them. MGM certainly won't hold anyone up who's willing to pony up the cash.
