Yeah, I'm sure that's the reason

They're not the only indy label forced to lock their discs. Sony is about the only studio that doesn't require licencees to lock their discs.

When can we expect the June titles to be up for preorder?

I heard the next Kino sale starts April 8th or 9th (I think?), but is there any word on whether or not it will contain any of the Scorpion/Kino releases?

Hmmm, any suspicions as to what title they would be trying to get? I'm really looking forward to these Charles Bronson titles and want more.....

Yes, we did some additional cleanup on a couple of them, I remember Scream and Scream Again as one.

We have one more scheduled for a new 4K scan and may do more later.

Understanding you can't comment on having these titles, are Winter Kills and Scott of the Antarctic StudioCanal titles in the US? Thanks.

Yes, both are with Studio Canal. We have one.

We've acquired the North American (USA and Canada) for most of our Studio Classics and we're contractually obligated to region lock them.

Next week. Amazon first.

Can you give us a hint by telling us what letter the title begins with?

No Scorpion Releasing titles and none of the KL MGM releases they produced. 210 titles on Blu-ray and DVD.

Terrific news KL Insider. Thanks very much for the reveal. There are 4 '70s SC titles I'm hoping you have in the next wave of SC announcements later this year. Winter Kills was one of the 4. I shouldn't push my luck, but are you able to confirm at this time if Winter Kills will be a 2019 release or if it is scheduled for 2020?

The other 3 '70s title I hope you have in the next set of SC titles are Murder by Decree, The Day of the Dolphin and Crossed Swords. I'll be very thankful if any one of those 3 will be released by KL.

Honestly, if they didn't include the French cut I'd wager most people would never notice the green push on the US cut. This is almost certainly how StudioCanal decided to color time them (though I could be wrong on that).

Based on these screenshots I'd say the French cut may even have a bit too little green in its color timing, looking a tad too pink (but obviously less pink-pushed than the US is green-pushed).

The French version looks right but the English version looks way too dark. Is Bronson dubbed in the English version? If he is, I'd just watch the French.

I just read that review. I will be buying this for the upgrade of the French version and the commentary but it looks like I will be hanging onto my Dvd for the U.S. version.....

[StarDestroyer52]

KL Insider, are the RKO Classic Romances and Adventures going to be listed on the Kino Lorber site? I see all of the other May titles but not those two.

I don't know why it's been such a trend the last 10 years or so in mastering (especially at Fox).
