Red Shoe Diaries (pilot cable movie and subsequent TV series)

[OceanBlue]

I know a Blu-ray release of Red Shoe Diaries (the pilot cable movie and subsequent cable television series) wouldn't be a big seller, but I think there would be interest in it getting a Blu-ray release (but was it shot on film?).

It has had some physical media releases in the States. Showtime (the cable network which originally showed it in the States) released some cable movies of it (each one was comprised of three episodes edited together), about twenty in total (sixty-six episodes were made in total). Some of these cable movies were shown over here on one of Sky's movie channels back in the nineties. Showtime also did a physical media release of the pilot cable movie.

Much more recently, Kino Lorber re-released the pilot cable movie on DVD, along with a DVD release of the first produced season (thirteen episodes in total).

In an ideal world, depending on what original elements are available (and any rights issues), a boutique label does a Blu-ray boxset of the pilot cable movie and subsequent television series with new scans and restorations, with all previous extras ported over. Not forgetting the original United States airdates are included as well, because while I've read when Red Shoe Diaries started airing on Showtime, I don't know when the last season was filmed and when it originally aired in the States. Finally, when David Duchovny filmed the framing sequences would be helpful (I read in a reference book about the early seasons of The X-Files that Duchovny filmed The X-Files in the week, then at the weekends he would go back to Los Angeles to film the framing sequences (his character Jake Winters bookends every episode bar one (the episode "Jake's Story").
