If this includes Fox titles, it could mean something....

Gacivory · 07-02-2023, 10:47 PM

I’m interested!

erixon20 · 07-02-2023, 10:56 PM

The Towering Inferno would look great n 4K!

BarnDoor · 07-02-2023, 11:03 PM

Really excited by this. Given it's likely to be WB titles, it should feature based on those names:

Beyond the Poseidon Adventure
When Time Ran Out (hopefully the longer cut)
Flood
Fire
Hanging By A Thread
Cave In
The Night The Bridge Fell Down

That's 7. And all new to Blu-ray!

BobSimms · 07-02-2023, 11:09 PM

Sounds really good. Love TV movies from that period obviously; have a soft spot for somewhat depressing disaster movies, too. I guess you could say I’m “in”.

You are correct

MifuneFan · 07-02-2023, 11:28 PM

Super excited for this set. I think it's going to sell super well too.

starsteam · 07-02-2023, 11:32 PM

This is great, I was planning a disaster marathon for early next year and was sadden that so many Irwin Allen films haven't been released to Blu yet. SF you read my mind.

RalphoR · 07-03-2023, 12:05 AM

This is great. Each movie reads like an all-star Hollywood cast from the 70s and 80s.

Jack Webb · 07-03-2023, 02:37 AM

These appear to be all Warner titles.....for those wondering why the Fox titles Poseidon Adventure and Towering Inferno aren't included.

James Luckard · 07-03-2023, 04:09 AM

I hope they include the extended TV cuts of When Time Ran Out and Beyond the Poseidon Adventure as bonus features.

Even if they have to source them from VHS, that'd be fine by me.

Both have tons of scenes not in the theatrical cuts.

The commercial VHS of When Time Ran Out was the extended cut, I remember renting it as a kid. I taped the extended cut of BtPA off a network broadcast years ago.

steev210 · 07-03-2023, 04:31 AM

Day one purchase! This Irwin Allen set is epic and unexpected. Always great to see more disaster movies released on blu-ray and 4K UHD. THANK YOU Shout for making this happen.

I hope Shout is able to license and release Wolfgang Petersen's 2006 remake of "Poseidon" on 4K UHD and also include the original 126 min cut that was planned to be included on the HD-DVD back in the day, but was cancelled at the last minute.

James Luckard · 07-03-2023, 04:36 AM

BTW, someone said here ages ago that the US theatrical cut of When Time Ran Out is lost.

The negative was cut to match the shorter international cut, that's why it's the cut on DVD.

BobSimms · 07-03-2023, 05:03 AM

September is going to be a very expensive month for me. But that list of films (and those actors) is impossible to resist. Absolute Day One purchase. Thank you SF.

There are no film elements for the longer cut. They weren’t sure how that was assembled for VHS.
The new transfer is the 109 version.

DR Herbert West · 07-03-2023, 06:34 AM

In for this.

WaverBoy · 07-03-2023, 06:47 AM

That’s too bad that Allen’s three key films are missing, but at least they’re already out on Blu. Might pick this up for the extreme cheese value.
