It was one of the postcards of previously unannounced titles included in Arrow's March releases. Other titles/postcards included the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Last American Virgin.

Last American Virgin?!?!?! I never EVER thought that would see the light of day on Blu. The DVD is so smeary and low quality it would be great to actually have a clean version.

The DVD is indeed lackluster but I'm really hoping there's a good, fresh master for the film and they don't end up using some recycled transfer from 2003. This is a big coup for Arrow. I'll gladly double dip on the '78 Body Snatchers since they'll probably have more extras (plus the artwork should be superior to MGM's)

Early on TT mentioned they may eventually release up to 4 titles per month (2 per studio; Fox and Sony at the time).

With Sony, Fox, possibly MGM, and other rights for smaller films, the docket appears to be growing as well as your reach. You always said you had limited time. So it comes to reason, something else has to give.

Another interesting tidbit of information at the bottom.

Please limit what people can buy to help the average joe like me who just wants their one copy.

We do not have any other horror films in the pipeline for quite some time...

NoirFan · 04-14-2013, 03:38 PM

Not surprising, Candyman was really the only other horror title I thought they might release.

krasnoludek · 04-14-2013, 03:59 PM

They would have done a nice job with Candyman and that's a movie whose soundtrack just adds so much to the film. If they're not getting it, I hope Scream Factory does, just so it doesn't end up in the hands of Mill Creek / Echo.

NoirFan · 04-14-2013, 05:08 PM

It was possibly teased by Arrow last winter - a photo of various promo materials showed the top of a Calum Waddell essay entitled 'Some Candy Talking' - but no word since then. There is a region-free UK disc from Universal.

bluknight1 · 04-14-2013, 08:56 PM

Has TT actually made a deal with MGM? Or is it just a rumor? I feel that it's a rumor because those tend to start very easily in these threads, but I'd like an official answer, please.

captveg · 04-14-2013, 09:40 PM

We're very happy to say [Oliver! (1968)] is scheduled on TT for later this year. One of our all-time favorites!

majorkonig41 · 04-14-2013, 10:01 PM

What's the best way to go about pre ordering an item? Want to get Leave Her to Heaven. Should I set up an account beforehand? On the day, do you just keep refreshing the site until the title shows up? Any I formation would appreciated as I do not want to miss out on this. I know it probably won't sell out, but my anxiety is getting the best of me.

Set up your account now and get it ready. On the day of the sale log in before the preoder goes live and then keep refreshing. If you don't think this title will sale out then you can probably log much later in the day because I'm sure the site will get hit as it always does.

Bugger. That means it won't be getting a general release.

Not great news for those of us outside the US who can't afford TT's prices and shipping.
