Where's Harryhausen?

[Sinbad75]

After doing such an excellent job with 4 of stop motion animation master Ray Harryhausen's films (It Came From Beneath the Sea, Earth VS the Flying Saucers, 20 Million Miles to Earth, and The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad), Sony/Columbia let the well go dry! Where are such timeless classics as "Jason and the Argonauts", "Golden Voyage of Sinbad", "Mysterious Island", "The Three Worlds of Gulliver", "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger" and "First Men IN the Moon"? And for Warner Brothers, Fox, and MGM...how about "Beast From 20,000 Fathoms", "Valley of Gwangi", "One Million Years B.C." and "Clash of the Titans"? Hopefully there are many more fans out there who are wondering "Where's More Harryhausen??"

Count me as another Harryhausen fan! And also wanting a release of the film which inspired Ray to get into special effects with stop motion is the original 1933 KING KONG. I own the Two-Disc Special Edition DVD. GREAT documentaries and interviews.

Kong arrives next year on blu-ray. I have a feeling the well ran dry on the Harryhausen titles because they are poor sellers.

Is that from the crappy Digital Bits bullshite rumour mill for the news on Kong '33 to be on Blu in 2010 or actually from a far more reliable source?

I bet Clash of the Titans will be released onto Blu when the remake is out next year. And possibly some of the more fantastical Harryhausen. Just making a wild guess more due to it'd be cross-promotion.

Jeez, got a problem with the Bits or something?

It's straight from Warner Brothers, actually, so chill out. To call The Digital Bits an unreliable source is a bit ridiculous. They're probably some of the most respected and reliable folks in the home video industry. They have been for over a decade now, so what's your beef?

My beef with them is they all think they're highly authoritive and I can't stand the site anymore. My signature has also been changed alot due to my non-support of The Digital Bits. Oh, someone is offended I have zero desire to not support them?!
I wait for official press releases for alot of things and not some site which PROBABLY treats all non-Region 1/A titles to be bootlegs. Yeah I import so what of it?
Now back to Harryhausen! Yeah I'd purchase all the Sinbad, Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans if they were to be released.
Isn't The 7th Voyage of Sinbad on Blu already?
