Hell I think Zardoz is a must have.

Isn't Guess Who's Coming to Dinner supposed to happen?

The earliest we'll find out is the first week of April, when they should be announcing their slate of July and August titles.

In a heart beat! This controversial Sam Peckinpah western staring Charlton Heston and Richard Harris is a superb Twilight Time release. For those familiar with the film, it suffered tremendous production delays and over runs resulting in the studio (Columbia) removing Peckinpah, chopping the director's original cut/vision to shreds, and dumping the truncated results, along with a most curious Mitch Miller choral soundtrack and narration, onto a rather disinterested public back in the sixties. Dvds of both the original release, and a re-cut, re-scored version are around, with generally good (for SD) quality. Twilight Times' Blu-Ray release has both the longer, re-cut, re-scored version, and the original as well, and the video and audio are fantastic. Heston plays one of his meatiest parts as a strong but very flawed character. If you are a fan of "The Wild Bunch" you will detect embryonic Peckinpah throughout "Major Dundee." This is great film well worth discovering by those who love westerns, the work of Peckinpah and Heston, and the story of a great Hollywood debacle rising from the ashes!

Wild-ass guess: they haven't finalized all the pesky little contractural details yet.

Just a great little film! Ordered it a couple months ago and just got around to watching it last week.

Really hoping it's Mysterious Island or Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. I could see them re-releasing either of those. Enemy Mine would be another I want, but it took so long to sell out I doubt they'll re-release it.

Blu Titan · 03-21-2015, 04:12 AM

NOTLD without the screwed up colors would be an instant sell out. Yes, the color timing was messed with and it was Sony's doing. Not blaming TT for it and I doubt they would have access to an accurate master since Sony wants to emulate the zombie look from The Walking Dead.

Just wishful thinking... I know

.

Now back at the ranch

...TT should re-release The Big Heat...their best title imo and one that should be available for sale

.

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is being released on DVD by Kino Lorber Studio Classics. When Twilight Time's 3-year exclusivity period for that film ends (January 2017), there's always a possibility that KLSC will pick up the BD rights.

KLSC also has DVD rights to some other Twilight Time titles, including Wild at Heart, Inherit the Wind, and Judgment at Nuremberg.

I must say, TT did a really shitty job informing customers of the Bounty delay! At these prices they need to do better!

tallrichard · 03-21-2015, 12:31 PM

OMG! I finally got a notice from Screen Archives! They're shipping my order! Only 10 days after street date! I feel blessed!

Twilight Time DVD Label
March 5 at 9:35am ·

UPDATE for the March releases -- hi all, just a heads-up we have been advised by our East Coast-based replicators, Cinram, that owing to inclement weather conditions shipments of the new titles to SAE may be delayed, so consequently SAE's shipping dates to consumers will be pushed back. SAE will likely receive the new releases on a "staggered" basis, so consumers who have only ordered one or two titles will get theirs sent first - those that ordered all will be held up till everything is in. An additional note: Since THE BOUNTY required extensive music and audio restoration, it will be running approximately one week behind the others. Thanks.

I don't know how almost a week's notice constitutes "shitty".

Do you think a distributor only had 5 days notice that the title would be delayed???

I would imagine, they knew a month out....especially since they've been working for a year on these titles typically....

They used a winter storm as a "cover" excuse...
