Not too fast. TT has increased the release to 5000 copies.

Seen no news of when the pre-sale for this goes up. I thought maybe this week since it's the 4 week mark, but nothing from the Twilight Time facebook page...

February 25th is the pre-order !

[madmojo]

Pre-order date: Wednesday, February 25th at 4 pm EST.

Special Features: Isolated Score Track / Randall William Cook Introduces "First Men in the Moon" / Audio Commentary with Ray Harryhausen and Randall William Cook / Original Theatrical Trailer




It's a 4K transfer, according to TT.

Great original art cover! Can't wait!

All Twilight Time release information, pre-order dates, upcoming titles announced, latest low quantity count, etc can be found in the first post of the main Twilight Time thread here:

Twilight Time Thread

EDIT: also, the last couple of pre-order dates have been the 4th Wednesday of the month instead of the 3rd Wednesday as in the past, thus moving the pre-order date closer to release day.

Here's hoping they've addressed the compression issues.

I'll be one of the first men ordering. Love Ray Harryhausen! Remember watching his films on tv growing up.

[madmojo]

They got the Harryhausen commentary this time! Nice!

By a large stretch, my most anticipated TT release of this year. i expect this one to sell pretty quickly, not Fright Night fast, but I wouldn't be surprised if it sells out before street date.

I love this movie. It is my second favorite Harryhausen film after his masterpeice, "Jason and the Argonauts." As much as I despise Twilight Time, I will have to purchase this—but I do it with great misgivings. I have no problem with "limited print runs," but they are well aware of the demand on some of these titles and they should be pressing enough to meet demand for at least a few months. I just wish they gave these films the same attention as Criterion. When I purchase a disc from them, I know I will be more than satisfied with my purchase.

I'm not so sure it won't sell as fast as Fright Night.

None of the other Harryhausen movies sold out even close to day one, and this time around there will be more limits in place as well as more stock, so I'm sure it will be fine, especially considering it's a less popular movie in his filmography than Mysterious Island and Golden Voyage of Sinbad. I will still pre-order it day one though

I've never seen that artwork before, strangely. It's definitely a lot more appealing than the DVD cover was!

The art work is from the original advertising campaign, and was featured on all the poster variants in the US.

I know, I just have never seen the movie poster before. This movie got glossed over in all the Harryhausen/sci-fi movie books I used to read as a kid. Not enough stop motion for them, I guess.

I'm really looking forward to this release! Love the cover art too!

I totally agree with you, Sir! This is one of the least seen yet one of the better scripted Harryhausen films. And by Jove I'll be sitting ready with my fingers on the keyboard as the clock strikes "buy-it-now" for this title. Not going to miss out on this one, as the re-issue of Fright Night slipped away right under my nose.

Now we only need the following movies to complete the Harryhausen filmography on blu-ray where he worked on the animation effects:

Mighty Joe Young
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
The Three Worlds of Gulliver
One Million Years B.C. (preferrably the UK longer cut)
The Valley of Gwangi

Yep! I feel quite confident that TT will release "Gulliver" and "One Million" and they will include commentary (which Harryhausen completed before his death) and the correct/preferable cuts (just as they did with "Major Dundee)." Unfortunately, the remaining Warner products may be more problematic. Release through Warner Archive is certainly possible, and probably more so than general release. Licensing to a third party is not going to happen, so who knows! Sadly.....
