It was discussed a few pages back. Apparently TT is not sending screener copies in advance to blu-ray.com anymore for whatever reason, some beef they have with the reviewers. So any reviews will be after the title has already been released.

Just to be clear, they never sent out review copies beforehand. Since the review copies arrived from the pressing at the same time as the sale copies, the reviews have always come after the release of the film. It is true, however, that the owners of the company got their panties in a wad and made the ridiculous and shortsighted decision to discontinue any review copies for this site. The only reviews you will see here are if a reviewer happens to purchase the film for himself. Regardless, however, the copy would have never been sent "in advance".

Thanks for clarifying. I have seen, in the past, reviews of TT titles prior to their street date, however, I remember now that sometimes they send the discs out early (such as with Body Double a few months ago) so perhaps that was the case with those reviews.

Make it happen TT.

You see the stupid game they are playing at HTF? Yeah no thanks. I'm not making a account to that dead ass forum.

punking · 10-31-2013, 09:06 PM

It does seem an odd way to publicize your releases by holding a cryptic quiz on a forum that hardly sees more than 50 people.

I just saw that, but I'm with you...I'm not creating an account just to play a game. The titles will come out soon enough if they actually want to advertise...
I just hope they're good titles...

wormraper · 10-31-2013, 10:41 PM

lol, makes me laugh. they try and advertise on a dead forum since BR.com HATES them sooooooooooooooo much (talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water) and they'll go advertise at a place where NOBODY can see there titles lol

Hintermann · 11-01-2013, 09:17 AM

I an trying to get my head around how this TT licencing system works. If they obtain rights to release a film on Blu-Ray - say Rollerball - does it mean that no one else will ever get the licence to relase it on Region A? Supposing that they put out their usual 3000 copies and those get sold out quickly, is that it? I understand that once they sell their 3000 copies TT usually do not renew the title. Does that mean someone else can then bid for the rights to release it on BD? And what about Region B & C?

1. yes, no one else in the same region can release it
2. once they're out they're out. even if they DID want to renew it , they wouldn't because it would devalue the "limited edition" status of their titles
3. B and C are completely separate. Europe has released some of the TT titles that are still locked over here
4. No one can bid for the rights. TT has EXCLUSIVE for 3 years.

Hintermann · 11-01-2013, 09:39 AM

Thanks. So if I want to find out when (and if) TT are going to release Rollerball, what can I do? Keep checking their schedule? AFAICS, the title is not yet on their schedule, including into 2014.

filmmusic · 11-01-2013, 11:07 AM

La Bamba is the title, that was revealed in the game, for anyone that didn't see it.

Well it makes sense when you consider that is kind of what they have done from the beginning, going with a store no one has heard of. Screen Archives? A 2 man operation that specialize in soundtracks. To this day we still get people coming in this forum asking where they can buy this. EVENTUALLY getting them on Amazon is good though and TCM Shop was a good move.

klauswhereareyou · 11-01-2013, 12:51 PM

Clues or no clues, here are three titles that I can see coming from Twilight Time based on who they do business with and the big name composers attached for the isolated scores: Krull (James Horner), The Missouri Breaks (John Williams), and Obsession (Bernard Herrmann).

filmmusic · 11-01-2013, 03:39 PM

I haven't seen the 3rd one, but I would definitely buy the first 2.
Especially Krull!

I stopped going to the site when they started commercial advertising inside each thread and between posts

That was bad enough to get me to stop visiting
(along with the realization that the moderators were suddenly watching Blu-rays through Studio issued rose colored glasses)

Do we have a source on this?

It is my understanding that TT has a 3 year window of exclusivity (in region A).

After that, rights go back to the studio. There are people who have said that TT intends to reup for another 3000 for their sell out titles, but that is, at this point, internet hearsay.

You are correct.

TheOneWithThePrize · 11-01-2013, 08:14 PM

To be more precise, TT has the rights for North America. Saying Region A implies far more territories than that and that isn't the case here.
