That they do. But if Warner has given it to Arrow, I don't think we'll see a release from them too soon. Their deal with WB is new. And I think they would want to focus on newer movies first, as they have already done with The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015) and Trick 'r Treat (2007) , but I agree Arrow would do good with House on Haunted Hill (1959), but not right away.

I'm still hedging my bets on WAC. So we'll see what happens. It will be a win win situation either way, although Arrow might offer more elaborate packaging like a slipcover, something I don't think WAC has ever done.

Same just rewatched The Delta Force this year on my Scorpion Blu-Ray as well it looked really good don't screw this up Shout! Factory. Although I won’t be pre-ordering it so I guess Ill wait to buy it for now.

That's labor day, so probably not. Sometime that week though I imagine.

WB has the best master and I would expect it will eventually come as a blu-ray release from WAC, unless Warner is now licensing out to Film Masters, witch I doubt. That mock 3D version that Eyepop or whatever they call themselves, was made from an inferior PD source.

If we're going to get a proper.blu-ray release, it's probably going to come from WAC. It could come from SF if they still have the license, but I doubt it since they haven't done anything with it all this time.

Interestingly, this is going to be on the Criterion Channel next month as part of the ongoing Rediscoveries and Restorations programming.

Glad to report that the Delta Force 4K disc looks marvelous. I consider this a monumental - and quintessential - action film, of ANY era, with an all-star cast, epic storyline and nearly 2 hour running time, but it's definitely a classic telltale 80's flick and it's a doozy. Disappointed that it's not held in higher regard. Happy to upgrade this one.

I used my old Scorpion Blu slipcover on this and it fits like a glove so now I have a slipcovered 4K edition

Just trying to help folks out who might be interested. I prefer physical as well, and own far more, but I'm not above paying $5 for a digital copy.

Thanks Driver. I have the 2 versions of this film on blu and will pick it up when it is on sale for sure. The Scorpion release I thought was pretty good, so nice to hear this is even better. Never though of the slip thing, so my Scorpion will be sort of repurposed.

anybody know if there’s any exclusives soon?

I was going to post the same earlier, as it does feel like we're overdue for some new ones. I'm now wondering whether SF are just going the MOD route for most of them now, like these upcoming releases.

I'm not sure if this is a new alternative to their limited edition site exclusive strategy, or what. On the plus side, there is a potential for less scratched discs going this route. Allied Vaughn are the same company that manufactures discs for Warner Archive. These releases should be sold elsewhere as well, but not as many places as a wide release would be.

Here is the first wave, which all appear to be coming in September:

A World Without Thieves (2004)



Big Fan (2009)



Clockwatchers (1997)



Linoleum (2022)



Miranda (2002)

I'm curious if the exclusives will be the ones from MovieZyng? I don't think they have shown up anywhere yet though.

[bradenscottday]

seems like it maybe taking that place, as shout usually don’t go this long without new exclusives

[starsteam]

If they 9/3 date is accurate Shout may list them on their site as already in-stock like they usually do with exclusives. This new batch would probably just ship from Allied Vaughn, regardless of where you buy it.

The switch to Allied Vaughn is likely why we haven't seen any new site exclusives. I wonder if they'll still be monthly or not, considering the size of this batch.

[Driver78]

Hoping Night of the Creeps or Night of the Living Dead '90 still make an appearance post Halloween. I don't care if they're released in December, I just don't want to wait until next Halloween.

They've shown up at ImportCDs, Deep Discount, and other Alliance Entertainment sites.

Poking around the Copyright website, it seems Shout Factory now has the rights to Beastmaster, Fade to Black and Evilspeak, licensed from some outfit called Cedar Investment Corporation. I wonder if the Vinegar Syndrome releases of the first two are going to be going OOP soon.
