Which would make it hard for Shout to edge in.
Lakeshore and the Image rights guy have a very good relationship from what the 'word on the stree' is.

I thought Scream Factory had a deal with Roger Corman, to release some New World titles? They already released quite a few of them.

I know Hellraiser was released by Anchor Bay, Avalanche by Kino, and Screamers by Scorpion. So maybe Corman doesn't own the rights to the entire catalog anymore?

I know it's owned by Lionsgate, and have no idea if there are even any extra materials that could be put together for new special features, but man oh man would I love for Scream Factory to put out a definitive Collectors edition (Fresh with a new transfer) of American Psycho. The early Lionsgate release was flawed from the get go (dirty print, lossy audio, etc) so a new release is LONG overdue. Damn Lionsgate sitting on one of my favorite movies of all time.

Corman owns all of the pre-1984 New World. Lakeshore owns the rest.
Corman has deals with SF and Scorpion, who works with Kino.
Image has a deal with Lakeshore.

I know this has been bandied about in here by myself and others, but an earlier post reminded me of just how sweet it would be to finally get a The Stuff bluray released in the USA.

jshaide · 10-31-2014, 04:23 AM

Has there ever been a request for Corman's "A Bucket of
Blood"?

Too bad they're with companies Scream Factory can't sublicense from.

Making Contact would be better paired with this:

My copy of They Live arrived to w/ slip! Its a bit cringed in the corners but I am used to that with things shipped from that far away. It was less than $14 + shipping too!

A guilty pleasure of mine and quite fun too, i think this could make a good triple feature considering Making Contact aka Joey with both US cut and extended German cut.

Haha, those Germans must love themselves some Emmerich because Ghost Chase also has a longer German cut with an extra 22 minutes.

Just watched "They Live" - man, that was a great movie! I guess if was to rate the Carpenter films I've seen it would be:

The Thing
They Live
Assault on Precinct 13
Halloween
Prince of Darkness
In the Mouth of Madness

I really liked them all though!

JMDiaz718 · 10-31-2014, 04:55 PM

I guess if was to rate the Carpenter films I've seen it would be:

The Thing
Halloween
Escape From NY
The Fog
Assault on Precinct 13
In The Mouth of Madness
They Live

To this day, I've hated Prince of Darkness. Saw it on opening night. It's visually stunning, and has a few creepy moments (the shadowy demon thing in the visions), but mehhhh.

Did anyone see Arrows announcements for the Region B blu rays of Society and Bride of ReAnimator ?

It made me ponder if those were titles that Scream couldn't announce *today* because the deal wasn't finalized yet ? Have they been shot down by them recently ?

Imagine Arrow with Region B and Scream with Region A rights ? That would be interesting.. I probably wont put too much stock into it but it made a nice thought anyway

Arrow is expanding to the US market, so I would imagine they'd release those two films on their own.

I'm curious as to what happened with Second Sight; they're the ones who worked on those two releases, yet they announced earlier in the week they wouldn't be releasing them. Bizarre.

Terrorfirmer · 10-31-2014, 06:48 PM

i thought Scream would have announced something today even though they said they werent going to, oh well.

I would have thought that too but Region B is what they announced for the two films.. More wait and see what develops.
