The Mechanic & Rollerball for me

here's hoping I can order both at the same

BarnDoor · 02-02-2014, 02:18 PM

The Firm is a remarkably odd choice for Twilight Time. I quite like it, but I can't see it appealing to many Americans and I certainly can't see it shifting many copies. Furthermore, there is a very good UK version already available.

Roy_Batty · 02-02-2014, 02:26 PM

Definitely The Train and Rollerball will be pre-ordering!

Some great titles. Are those Thunderbirds titles going to be a double-feature in the same package?

I'll be in for those, The Mechanic and The Train. Maybe Rollerball too.

Thanks! Not as great as the 1st third of 2014, but I'll get Rollerball, Two Rode, Mechanic, Train, & Laramie for sure, maybe also Fate & Allison.

Cocophone · 02-02-2014, 04:12 PM

I'm hoping Rollerball is not a one day sellout. I was worried about Thunderbolt selling out too quickly for me to make my purchase but I see its still available for pre-order

I don't think it will sell out in one day.

If it is not horror, it will not sell out day one. However, there's a lot of interest in this release...def adding it myself.

Looks like Fate is the Hunter, Two Rode Together, The Train, and Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison for me.

I might go for The Man from Laramie as well.

jrsl76 · 02-02-2014, 05:26 PM

I'm definitely getting Rollerball and The Mechanic. Interested in The Train, the westerns and a couple others as well.

oildude · 02-02-2014, 05:36 PM

More John Ford and John Huston, and Jimmy Stewart too. Awesome lineup.

Hank the Tank · 02-02-2014, 06:36 PM

Where's

??? Patrick Swayze's first feature role!!!!

I did send a note to Nick at Twilight Time. He's looking into it now.

Wiki Info on Skatetown USA.

The Greatest Story Ever Rolled!!

chrisron · 02-02-2014, 06:49 PM

I'll get 'The Train' and probably the two James Stewart movies.

jayembee · 02-02-2014, 07:43 PM

A bit back, someone was interested in knowing the licensors for upcoming TT releases. Here's what I know from the May & June releases.

The ones in red are licensed from MGM.
The ones in blue are licensed from Fox.
The ones in green are licensed from Sony.

I don't know who owns the US rights for the others. Two are UK films: the production companies are Channel 4 Films (Resurrected) and Vertigo Films (The Firm -- this is not the John Grisham legal thriller with Tom Cruise). I don't know anything about the Nancy Kwan doc that comes with Fate Is the Hunter.

James Luckard · 02-02-2014, 08:58 PM

Interesting but obscure choice they made with Resurrected, it's a great early Paul Greengrass film. True story about a soldier who is lost and presumed dead in the Falklands. When he turns up alive, he's accused of being a deserter.

I do wonder, however, if the film will have to be slowed down on BD like Prime Suspect, since it was presumably shot at 25fps for PAL TV airing. I have a PAL DVD of the film from the UK with lengthy retrospective interviews with Greengrass and star David Thewlis. Will wait for reviews before I decide whether to replace it.

captveg · 02-02-2014, 09:11 PM

Can't wait to get The Train. The DVD is non-anamorphic. No surprise that it's coming given the similar subject matter to Monuments Men

This would be okay. But the earlier poster wants ugly garish looking large text on both the cover and disc making it look like trash. That would be unfair to a customer of any release, regardless of whatever pressing it is.
