Twilight Time Discussion Thread

[Clark Kent]

I definitely want a reissue of The Egyptian from someone. I believe it came out in Europe somewhere, I think in Spain.

[chrisron]

The Egyptian is out in Spain, France and the 4 Scandinavian countries.


My guesses for relicensed titles:

Fright Night
Mysterious Island
Christine
Body Double

EDIT: Or do they have to wait 3 years? If that is the case then Christine and Body Double can't come out in 2015.

Probably in the minority that would be most excited about a BIG HEAT re-press! (but hey, I'd buy FRIGHT NIGHT for $30, too).

P.S. They added these comments on Facebook, pardon if this information has already been conveyed [in reference to someone suggesting that re-pressing out-of-print titles undermines the original editions]:

"Thanks for your input, but what we're doing is working, and in the case of the re-licensed titles, all will have something different to them, so they will be completely new editions. And it's also important for you to understand that we are not reissuing every sold out title, just a select few that we believe can be improved upon.

"All of the reissues will have extra features and be in some sense substantially different from the first edition. And in one case will be a brand new 4k restoration to boot!"

Maybe fright night's color timing will be changed for the reissue, or just more extras. Twilight time is growing so maybe they got more money.

And so begins the perpetual speculation of whether NOTLD will be re-released and get new color timing.

Was there any problem with Fright Night's colors?
I don't remember anything mentioned..

That's why I said speculation.

[noirjunkie]

Why is TT making people sit around and guess which titles it has relicensed and will be re-releasing? The company is essentially saying, "Hey, we know a handful of our out-of-print titles are really popular, and we're re-releasing some of them. What's that? You want to know which ones? Well, too bad. We'll tell you later."

It doesn't even make any sense from a business perspective, because the earlier TT tells fans who want the out-of-print titles which ones will be re-released, the more customers the company saves for itself, because those same fans will wait to buy the title(s) at standard pricing instead of shelling out extra to get it/them from a third-party seller.

Well, not really, as they sort of finally admitted in a roundabout way that the transfer may not have been correct by offering refunds to anyone who was unhappy at that time. I think they handled it well, all considering. If they did reissue it with the correct transfer, I'm pretty sure it would be another quick sellout, and that really fits in with their comments about titles that needed improving.

Boy, that is kind of an FU to the people that have purchased these sold out titles, especially the one that is getting a new 4K restoration.

Sounds like they're trying to get those that purchased the original release to upgrade to the new edition. They're starting to sound a bit like Warner.

I got it confused with night of the living dead.

I wouldn't think it'd be that hard to work out. Look up each of the TT titles in this site's database, and see how many collections each one is in. That won't be entirely accurate, as some people might not list their collections here. But I would think it would give you a general idea if you were on the right track.

[schlock]

The October title really could be a re-done Night of the Living Dead as that would be exactly 3 years from the original release. If that 3-year clause still is in effect, it makes sense.

[ultlife2013]

I think a nice possible release for TT would be Detroit Rock City, the isolated score would be pretty good, IMO. What say you people?

[FrankFlynn26]

I'm guessing:
Jan- Mysterious Island
March- Fright Night
August- The Big Sleep
October- NOTLD

You mean The Big Heat. Of the four you list, that and Mysterious Island are the only ones I'd want to pick up.

I'd also want The Egyptian and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Oh, and Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. The rest of the OOP titles (or those that appear to be going OOP soon) that I don't already have I can live without.
