Yes, I've heard the clearance tag is even larger.

Not sure if you can answer this, if not it's totally cool, but would this deal preclude Paramount titles that they've released to blu over the past couple years? Films like Ladybugs, Dead Man On Campus, The Odd Couple II, etc?

Why would we want to re-release titles they've just released.

And just a few weeks after you had to destroy all those remaining Paramount discs.

Seriously though, the theatrical cut for The Warriors, please. And The Carpetbaggers would be lovely.

The film elements for most of these titles are in Europe, I doubt we would want to take on these complicated projects that will end up not selling well.

No. Like I said before, some.

And I’d like to throw a vote in for any Elvis films.

Yes, most of them are currently available on Blu-ray from the studio.

We asked for one Elvis movie, they turned us down. In the past we had asked for King Creole, but as we all know they ended up releasing it themselves.

We're specifically asking about the newer Presents line that was launched in 2020 of new 4K restorations - as Paramount just released these in the past two years, I would assume they were keeping them in house. I can't speak for the other fellow but I was just wondering for the sake of not buying more of these releases if there was a chance they'd come from you guys in better format.

Their titles have been:
Fatal Attraction
King Creole
To Catch a Thief
Flashdance
Pretty in Pink
Airplane!
Ghost
Roman Holiday
The Haunting
The Golden Child
Trading Places
The Court Jester
Elizabethtown
Love Story
The Greatest Show on Earth
Mommie Dearest
Last Train from Gun Hill
48 Hrs.
Another 48 Hrs.
A Place in the Sun
Bugsy Malone
Nashville
Breakdown
Vanilla Sky
Ragtime
Harold and Maude
Ordinary People

If you'd prefer not to say I get that too!

Sounds great and I hope that there are some silents included.

BTW, Days Of heaven could make for a killer UHD. Just sayin'.

We're planning to remasters at least two to three dozen titles. And will remaster any "big" title we think is need of a new transfer.

Outstanding news! Really hoping Fear Is the Key (1972) and Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) are in this deal.

We didn't destroy much, most of the titles ended up selling out.

Black Rain 4K....Please!

Fancy Pants Trailer 1950 - YouTube

Fancy Pants would be a definite purchase for me. The other Paramount "blu-less" Hope titles - Here Come the Girls, Beau James, That Certain Feeling and Casanova's Big Night - would also be greatly welcomed.

Oh well - given how well the last batch sold, I can't imagine you would have been all that excited to get some new ones. Still, thanks for giving us a chance in the past to get titles like The Covered Wagon and Old Ironsides.

99% I bet one of these is Death Wish.

So over a third to almost half of what you're acquiring here.

That's great news!

Oh, and please, let another one in the Paramount deal be A Simple Plan.

[Deslonde]

Please release NIGHTMARE ON 13th FLOOR (1990), starring Louise Fletcher, James Brolin... It was a made for TV movie released on Paramount Home Video in the 90s. Hopefully it can be released soon. It has never seen a DVD release.
