Cinespectral Films · 06-29-2016, 09:35 PM

Still doing the restoration and producing the new special features.

Cinespectral Films · 06-29-2016, 09:40 PM

Well I can confirm that Tony Timpone will participate in producing a part of the new special features.

Hi, is this looking like a 2017 release?

I hope so. I ordered the DVD from Amazon a few weeks ago to hold me over until her...talents bounce onto Blu.

I'm just glad it's getting the treatment it deserves, especially with the new 4K scan.

I don't mind waiting. I'd say in this situation, no news is good news. They're taking their time, likely so it doesn't turn into a botched rush job.

They're hard at work.

I believe Image owns the US rights until 2018, when the movie turns 30.

[Show spoiler]

I'm not sure if Criterion's ever dealt with Image before. Who has rights to New World Pictures in the US now anyway?

They're hard at work.

1. Right-Situation:

Rights are managed by Lakeshore Entertainment. Image is the north american licensee until later in 2018, which rather would result in a 2019 US-Release.

2. As for what we are doing:

I actually would prefer to have all info released on the official announcement.

But here is what is happening right now:

Restoration is going to be finished in about 2 weeks. And even though our scan was made at DeLuxe in LA (like Live and Die in L.A. by arrow), our postproduction studio (the same which takes care of different italian classic horror movies) in Germany had to fix a lot of issues which were based on the inter-positive of the film.

However, this is going to be fixed and finished soon. The movie will look awesome, trust me.

What keeps us busy on the other end are the special features, which we are still producing. Tony Timpone is doing awesome work. And if everything works out you will find a longer featurette on Disc 3.

Some people who were involved in the movie are just not so easy to get ahold of, and some others... well... we will see.

Don't worry, this is going to be really good! We actually have our frogtown release ready, but since that is based on the lakeshore scan, I rather would like to announce both titles at the same time for order/pre-order, since frogtown is not the strong product which ELVIRA - MOTD is going to be.

It sounds like this will be a great release, Cinespectral Films, so please do take as much time as you need. I want this release to be bursting with Elvira's...talents.

Well we are giving our best. But because of certain people this is also an effin complicated project!

spawningblue · 08-15-2016, 01:17 PM

Is this release being talked about Region A or Region Free?

I assume Arrow will announce the US release soon, as they have been releasing all the horror titles that were with Image (The Stuff, Vamp, Hills Have Eyes, CHUD, etc.). I have a feeling they will deliver the Hellraiser collection as well, or atleast the first two.

They can't announce ELVIRA for the US, since the rights are with Image until later in 2018. Rights can only be acquired from Lakeshore and not from image (image is a licensee and not a licensor). We had this discussion now at least 10 times!!!

As for UK and other territories. We have exclusive use of the HD-Master for some time, which in anyway keeps others from releasing blu-rays.

But for us as a company it is actually really sad to see, that we invest time, money and a lot of work in doing a special edition of the movie. Then people rather scream for an ARROW release which would be based on our materials. wow! Speechless.

In various emails across the time of the last year I got statements from Simeoni, that they are not interested in ELVIRA at all. UK was free and available and still they did not touch it. Why? because it was not already brought to HD by Lakeshore and probably they don't see the fanbase behind the movie. They could have released it already last year, if they wanted, but they didn't. Of course once our hd-master is available to other through lakeshore, the situation might change. But until then there is some time and north america won't see anything until 2018/2019 anyway, END OF STORY.

We are not doing all the hard work to discuss what arrow could do or to pave the way for a yet non-existing US-release.
