I always thought Stingray (1978) was owned by SC, unless the rights reverted back to the original producers/director.

What is this "Kanopy"?

They have the rights to some Fassbinder titles, but I don't think the BRD trilogy. We don't have any Fassbinder films in our deal.

Slayground (1984) with optional English subtitles
• NEW Interview with star Peter Coyote
• Theatrical Trailer

Color 89 Minutes 1.85:1 Rated R
From Donald E. Westlake, the creator of Point Blank, The Outfit and The Grifters! It should have been a quick and easy heist for Stone (Peter Coyote, Bitter Moon, Heart of Midnight), a cold cash hit on an armored car. But things turn ugly when a young girl is accidentally killed during the getaway and the child’s grieving father hires a sadistic assassin to avenge her death. Now Stone is on the run from a relentless killing machine, a chase that will lead them to a run-down amusement park on the bleak British coast where death is the final contract and vengeance is the ultimate ride. Billie Whitelaw (Frenzy, The Krays) and comedy legend Mel Smith (Brain Donors) co-star in this violent action-thriller with a screenplay by Trevor Preston (I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead, The Sweeney) and top-notch direction by veteran cameraman Terry Bedford (Jabberwocky).

The Brink's Job (1978) with optional English subtitles
• Audio Commentary by Film Historians Howard S. Berger, Steve Mitchell and Nathaniel Thompson
• Theatrical Trailer

Color 104 Minutes 1.85:1 Rated PG
The robbery nobody thought could happen by the guys nobody thought could pull it off! The year is 1950, the take is $2.7 million, and the movie is The Brink’s Job, a high-spirited comedy caper which explores the lives of the men who pulled one of the most famous heists in history. Legendary filmmaker William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist, The Boys in the Band, Sorcerer) directs this gritty yet whimsical tale of a gang of smalltime hoods who hit the bigtime jackpot. The fine ensemble cast includes Peter Falk (Pocketful of Miracles), Warren Oates (Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia), Peter Boyle (F.I.S.T.), Paul Sorvino (The Day of the Dolphin), Gena Rowlands (Minnie and Moskowitz) and Allen Garfield (Busting). In short, The Brink’s Job will have you laughing all the way to the bank.

KL Insider - Since you guys have announced your 4 Jean-Paul Belmondo films, I was wondering if you asked for Le Magnifique (1973)? Did another label license it?

Agatha Christie's Ordeal by Innocence (1984) with optional English subtitles
• Audio Commentary by Film Historian David Del Valle, moderated by filmmaker Michael Varrati
• US and International Trailers

Color 90 Minutes 1.85:1 Rated PG-13
Screen greats Donald Sutherland (The Great Train Robbery), Faye Dunaway (The Thomas Crown Affair) and Christopher Plummer (The Silent Partner) co-star in Ordeal by Innocence, a sizzling mystery by Agatha Christie (Death on the Nile). After a two-year expedition into Antarctica, Dr. Arthur Calgary (Sutherland) travels back to England to return his friend Jack Argyle’s address book, which Jack had left in Arthur’s car before his departure. Jack, however, is dead, executed after being framed for murder. Calgary has proof of his innocence; he was with Jack at the time of the murder. But why then does no one wish to reopen the case? Not Jack’s father (Plummer), not his secretary (Diana Quick, TV’s Brideshead Revisited), not his sister (Sarah Miles, White Mischief) or her husband (Ian McShane, Sexy Beast), not even Inspector Huish (Michael Elphick, The Element of Crime), the policeman in charge. Ordeal by Innocence is one ordeal you’re sure to enjoy! Directed by veteran British director Desmond Davis (Girl with Green Eyes, Smashing Time, Clash of the Titans).

It's a Studio Canal title, I guess we didn't ask for it. Not sure if anyone else picked it up or not.

Thank you again KL Insider. The Silent Partner AND The Brink's Job released on the same day. Fantastic! A terrific way to end the week!

I would pick up The Border as well, but, I bought the Indicator blu early last year. I previously had the German BD from Koch. I just can't triple dip. Not a classic Nicholson movie, but a superb performance by Nicholson in one of his least remembered films.

Oh yeah! Day one for me. Not going to lie, Kino is KILLING IT with the recent titles. So many amazing films. Now, just waiting on Extreme Prejudice and possibly Cemetery Man. I'm on my toes with those two.

[Cremildo]

Love the cover(s) for Hélas pour moi.

[ROSS.T.G.]

Wow, my Innocent Man already shipped. Can’t wait to ditch my MC.

[bsend]

Love the Slayground announcement

[StarDestroyer52]

Le Magnifique was one of those old OOP Image DVD releases wasn't it? I only see French and German Blus which don't have English subtitles.

Never heard of "Carolco" until you started asking for Extreme Prejudice, but noticed Kino has some Carolco films so I wouldn't give up hope.
