Nothing else at this time, just these two.

Frankly, I'm glad they were able to accomplish what they did with zero input from him. It leaves him out in the cold where he belongs.

The most ridiculous claim he made was that he declined Kino's offer for Robot Monster and Catwomen of the Moon (both 3D) because there were parts of the contract they proffered that he didn't understand. Ah...isn't that why you have lawyers to look over contracts? To explain things you don't understand?

What reading that HTF thread ultimately establishes is that he'd rather sit on his film properties until the elements all disintegrate and/or all interest in them vanishes than make a deal that isn't 100% in his favor and make some money while interest in 3-D "B" films 60+ years still exists.

Hard to believe but I've known literary agents waste six months to a year not approving contracts for their clients because they didn't understand them, even trying to drop a deal their client agreed because they'd rather you go away and stop confusing them even when their legal expenses were covered under the deal. It's not common, but it's not uncommon either. (On the other hand, the infamously bad - but entirely legal - royalties deal for Forrest Gump went through precisely because the author's agent never ran it past an entertainment lawyer to explain the terminology.)

As someone who obviously has a soft spot for Robot Monster, I always wondered why it never had a release.

**I see now that this one was a "submission," and did not actually earn the nomination. But I'm no less interested.

It was over four years ago, but MisterLime shot down an upgrade for As It Is in Heaven unfortunately.

I think we do, no chance on As it is in Heaven, but maybe The Return, if we still have the rights.

Actually, I don't think the film titles or the original promotional material use the possessive apostrophe. I believe it should be Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. - but happy to stand corrected.

The opening credits of the film, at least the rifftrax version currently streaming on Amazon Prime, has it as Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. with the apostrophe after the “S” in Daleks.

[Aclea]

Both Reddington (partially) and you are right: the film's marketing had no apostrophe:





..but StudioCanal's UK Blu has the apostrophe on the print.

Interesting. I'll go with the original marketing...

Yes, they were. And yes, 2 of the 3 60s SC titles are the 2 Dr. Who/Daleks films we announced yesterday and today.

2 are already announced, Caravans and Kiss the Blood off My Hands. The other 2 will be announced next week.

You will. Both Universal. 1950s and 1970s.

[noirjunkie]

Has that second, smaller studio deal been announced yet?

[Gacivory]

Was there any updates on the release of Not For Publication?

Also is Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills still on the calendar for this summer?

[jjhunsecker]

I would hope that the Universal 50s film was Jose Ferrer's "The Great Man", but I suspect it won't be....this film seems to have been completely forgotten

Great to hear about the 2 Dr. Who movies! Does your current deal with StudioCanal include the original STARGATE movie, or is it still with Lionsgate?

[Dailyan]

Coming Soon on DVD and Blu-ray!

Never Steal Anything Small (1959) Starring James Cagney & Shirley Jones - Shot by Harold Lipstein (Damn Yankees, Let's Kill Uncle) - Based on a Play by Maxwell Anderson (Key Largo) & Rouben Mamoulian (Love Me Tonight) - Written and Directed by Charles Lederer (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Finger at the Window).

This is the remaining 50s title that is new-to-DVD. All remaining 50s titles (as things stand, there are 20 to be announced, including 10 westerns) were previously released on DVD by Universal.

[Show spoiler]1950 x1
1952 x6
1953 x4
1954 x2
1955 x2
1956 x2
1957 x3
1958 x2
1959 x1 (No Name on the Bullet)

Some points:

- There are 1 or 2 noir titles to come, and there are only 2 possibilities by my count: The Unguarded Moment and The Restless Years. So evidently we're going to get at least one of these, possibly both.

- 10 titles are westerns; one of these will be be No Name on the Bullet. Of the remaining 9, two are also Audie Murphy films.
