I may be incorrect on this being previously available at the KL shop, but it appears that Scorpion's BD of The Rain Killer has sold out from the While Supplies Last list.

We never sold the BD. Only the DVD.

Gotcha

Same for The Wicked Lady, then? Or is that actually OOP?

Best I can tell these are the only three sell outs otherwise:

Camp Nowhere (1994) (DVD still available)
Solarbabies (1986) (DVD still available)
To All a Goodnight (1980) (Scorpion) (DVD still available)

Is this correct?

They had The Wicked Lady Blu-ray. It's must've sold out.

Great list so far. I'm also hoping to see a Universal title from 1965 released in the Halloween season.

Any more Sirk on the horizon, Kino Insider?

KL is making this longtime lover of made-for-TV horror movies very happy! I almost can't believe that in just a few months, "Killdozer" will finally be available on Blu-ray! (And "Buried Alive" too!)

In celebration, I think I'll watch Kino's release of "The House That Would Not Die" tonight!

For the October schedule, I'm still hoping to see the last title from the StudioCanal deal in there, a 70s horror film.

So, worst-case we would go ahead with the release of the 4K restoration of the U.S. cut and include the longer cut as an SD or Upres extra.

If it's a case of extra footage, would you consider using the 4K restoration of the US cut with SD inserts?

We're hoping to clear a couple of additional horror films for October, but it's not looking good.

We would rather just offer the SD master as an extra, the back-and-forth difference in picture quality would be annoying to anyone watching the film. I guess seamless branching would be an option?

Plus there's also the regular titles for October including the Peppard films.

KLI, have you told StudioCanal or 20th Century Fox UK to check for film elements of the 121-minute cut of The Prince and the Pauper AKA Crossed Swords? Fox released it in the UK as The Prince and the Pauper while Warner put out the 108 min cut in the US, Japan and parts of Europe. StudioCanal must've used a film element from Fox for their DVD of the longer cut, so they still might have an interneg or even a dupe neg of Canal dosen't possess anything.

Are you serious? Of course! Our deal is with SC, they would be the first place we would check and so far, they haven't been able to locate any film elements for the longer cut. They list the title as The Prince and the Pauper on their database, so I'm sure they've asked Fox UK and anyone else involved.

The Lionsgate DVD licensed from SC is the longer cut and opening credit title is Crossed Swords, not The Prince and the Pauper.

The BFI has a 113 minute (10188 feet) 35mm positive film element in their collection.

http://collections-search.bfi.org.uk/web/Details/ChoiceFilmWorks/150030170

Curiously enough, 113 minutes is the runtime the AFI has listed for the film.

I haven't seen a 121 minute cut listed anywhere except for the DVD.

That's okay. We can wait until November, right?
