How about any titles featuring an old man? Or starring Gary Oldman?

Would it make sense though? Wouldn't they be virtually guaranteed to replace one easily bothered small group with some other equally small, equally easily bothered group?

There's absolutely no chance that they change the font (or anything else, for that matter) without somebody saying 'damn, I liked the other one better'.

Hell, they could replace Hannibal with a UHD release of the unaltered original Star Wars trilogy and somebody would say 'oh man, I really wanted Hannibal'.

. I've been pumped for this one a long time and that cover art is awesome.

I just remembered - Captain Newman, M.D. is with Universal. That said, the Insider has already said they don't have any Tony Curtis films...

For those unaware, this confirms Tobruk and Groundstar Conspiracy among the Peppard films. Now, if we could just determine if there are any films directed by George Peppard in this Universal deal...

Our 4 George Peppard titles are:

Tobruk (1967) Arthur Hiller
P.J. (1968) John Guillermin - New 2K master
The Groundstar Conspiracy (1972) Lamont Johnson - New 2K master
Newman's Law (1974) Richard T. Heffron - New 2K master

We originally also had John Guillermin's House of Cards (1968), but had to drop it due to some legal issues.

When I try I only get actors and directors, nothing on the contributors to the extras/bonus material. (Sorry for this silly request!)

Many of the spaghetti Westerns. There are commentaries that he did on Death Rides A Horse and The Mercenary.

He will also be recording new commentaries for three upcoming KLSC Spaghetti Western releases.

You have three upcoming SW releases? Have the titles been announced yet? If not, are you able to say what studio deal they originate from? I would love it if the Hellbenders was one of them.

[BarnDoor]

Awesome news about the Peppard titles. Hopefully the issues surrounding House of Cards aren't insurmountable for a future deal, but that would just be the icing on the cake. I also have to commend Kino on their choices for the 60s and 70s titles in particular, many of the ones I was hoping for have made it so far.

Is Tobruk the war film set in a desert? I vaguely remember something like that.

[Dailyan]

KLI I know this might be premature to ask, since you just announced your first UHD yesterday, but will the Summer UHD title be an upgrade of a previously released title from your catalog or a newly acquired title?

Yes.

KL Insider:

When can we expect to start seeing some of the Miklós Jancsó titles you guys licensed from the Hungarian National Film Archive last year?

We confirmed it. Please be patient, we can only release 20 movies per month.

Thanks for the reply, Kino!

In that case, the Amazon.com pre-order just went up:

Only 20 a month?

I kid. Honestly, that’s pretty amazing.

They're completely different films.

P.J. is similar to Harper, lots of action and fun.

Pendulum is dark and deals with police corruption, similar to Madigan.

I heard a few fellow Canadians mention that Amazon doesn’t seem to be listing new releases for KL. Can we expect Hannibal UHD to be available on Amazon.ca?

We uploaded it to the U.S. site this week, it usually takes a few days.

None of them have been announced.
