How about a double-feature disc (like the DVD was) for, say, $50? Does anyone have a contact email for them? I'm not on FB.

I don't believe region coding has been announced yet, but Second Sight will be releasing Streets of Fire in the UK.

Announcement

[redrunner97]

I would love a release of 'Roller Coaster' the 1977 disaster movie about a serial killer who targets Amusement Parks. I have brought it up before, and it seemed like a good amount of people supported it, but I never flat out asked about it being released.

So Cliff, what are the chances that we get this classic Universal film on BD?

[Movie-Brat]

Okay, remember that Vagrant/Godsend Double Feature DVD? It's four now and right their Facebook page....

**Looking for some cheap thrills? Well look no further!***

We have a fun and frightening multi-title DVD set coming soon on August 20th. 4 films (3 of which have never been on DVD before) for a super low $9.99 SRP. Titles include:

Im pretty sure it is MGM.

And they also said they just signed a big deal with a ton of titles in it. Maybe it was another MGM?

Is this from the current MGM deal or a new one?

[Movie-Brat]

It's just that, last I checked, The Outing was with Lionsgate. That's why I asked. How the hell did it jump distributors again?

[redrunner97]

I think Lionsgate got it from MGM. And their deal ran out? Maybe Im wrong.

I do know they commented on FB saying it was MGM

[Movie-Brat]

Well, I did get an answer from Facebook in that The Outing was originally distributed by Moviestore Entertainment and MGM ended up getting their films. So yeah. MGM had it the whole time and nobody knew.

MGM owns the film, not Lionsgate

[Movie-Brat]

Yeah, I realized that from a fan of yours but thank you for letting me know.

[NoirFan]

I'll buy it. Cliff, do you know if any of the films will be widescreen (if appropriate - I'm not really familiar with any of these) and/or if any extras will be included?

[redrunner97]

I want you to know that I am a blu-ray or no sale guy, and this is still great news.

I hope that there are very few DVD-Only releases from you guys, but as far as this one goes, I am very excited. And for TEN BUCKS!!! Thats not bad.

I will be grabbing this (never thought I would be saying that, as I have only bought maybe 5 DVDs in almost 2 years).

it wont be day one like the blus but when I have enough extra sometime I will definitely get it.

The frantic typing of a madman:

[Show spoiler]I understand the huge burden of putting a film on BD, and the major cost, so I do usually complain when it is announced something is DVD only. I applaud what you are doing with these films. At least someone is handling them, because the longer they live on DVD, the greater the chance someone might do something with them in the future on BD.

[Movie-Brat]

The Vagrant will be anamorphic widescreen and The Outing will be full screen.

[redrunner97]

They said that there will be no special content because of the budget restraints, and Vagrant will be WS, the rest will be Fullscreen, and the Godsend hasnt been decided yet.

4 movies for $9.99 and you want extras too.... Sheesh
No, no extras
The Vagrant is 16:9
These are older films that have not been remastered by MGM and we couldn't afford to re-transfer these films so its a budget release.
