Hopefully! A great horror title that Lionsgate has. A great cast, including Martin Landau! (A personal favorite of mine.)

...still wondering when Kino might announce at least one of their two TV series from the Universal deal.

I'm still hoping Shout or Arrow and maybe even VS got deals too but it doesn't seem likely. You would think one of them would've announced at least one title by now if they did.

And I know it's been said many times that those postings aren't always accurate, but I hope that wasn't a typo that instead meant "late 2023" ! ?

Those "late" or "summer" or "early" tags in the database are simply placeholders when the entry it put into the database. They're not based on any actual information, I think they just need to put something in there.

That's the first time I have seen somebody describe it as "not horror" by the way. To me it is clearly a horror movie, but I am interested in how you would classify it?

Psychological thriller? It just happens to have some really extreme horror elements

I'm hoping for Darkroom and Amazing Stories!

As for a possible new MGM deal, I will not rest until the Anne Dusenberry magnum opus BASIC TRAINING is given a shiny new 4K Blu-ray release! (okay, I'll settle for a cruddy Blu-ray)

[Kino Lorber Insider]

Coming to Blu-ray March 14th from Kino Lorber and Milestone Film!

The Man Without a World (1991)
Directed by Eleanor Antin
Starring Pier Marton, Christine Berry

Pre-order: https://kinolorber.com/product/the-man-without-a-world

New 4K restoration with a new score by Donald Sosin and Alicia Svigals!

The Man Without A World is a bold independent American film, the conceptual masterpiece of an important artist, a meditation on history, and a very funny and beautiful melodrama. Credited to the legendary (and imaginary) 1920s Soviet director, Yevgeny Antinov, the film was actually made by Eleanor Antin in 1991. This silent drama set in a Jewish shtetl was Antin’s “love letter” to her mother, who had been an actress in the Yiddish theater. When a gypsy caravan and its lovely dancer (played by Antin herself) arrive in the village, the life of the shtetl dwellers — including Zionists, religious zealots, socialists, and lovers — is upended. But as the Jewish villagers pursue their dreams for the future, the Angel of Death is ever near...

This Blu-ray release also includes two other historical conjuring acts from Eleanor Antin. From the Archives of Modern Art (1987) is a series of short, sometimes ribald, comic films from the “lost years” of ballerina Eleanor Antinova. For The Last Night of Rasputin (1989), Antinova and her husband Yevgeny Antinov (both personas of Antin) joined forces to film the final orgy and dreadful end of the notorious monk, Rasputin, on the eve of the Russian Revolution.

Special Features:
• Audio Interview with Eleanor Antin
• The Last Night of Rasputin (1989, Eleanor Antin)
• From the Archives of Modern Art (1987, Eleanor Antin)
• Interview with actress Christine Berry (directed by Ross Lipman)
• Original organ score by Lee Erwin
• Trailers

Wow. I had completely forgotten about Darkroom. Not sure of what kind of elements exist, but as for Amazing Stories, I've heard many times that it was edited and/or made on video, unfortunately, so no HD blu-ray release.

In Germany, a boutique label released both seasons on blu-ray, but SD only, which, I think, confirms we're not going to see it in HD blu from any other label.

Anyone else having trouble ordering The Asphyx from Kino? Can't add it to my cart. Could this be a browser/cookie/cache issue? I have 4 other titles in my cart and I won't check out until this is resolved.

Universal didn't edit on video in the '80s, unlike most of the other studios, so I think AS is still viable and with only two seasons and 40-something episodes, is a good candidate for Blu-ray, provided the film elements are available. (It's possible the German label didn't have access to the elements or the episodes weren't available in HD?)

As for Darkroom, I'm hoping Universal will let Kino remaster in 2K like they did for Kolchak and Night Gallery.

I think Columbo is strongly rumoured to be one of the two Universal TV shows, but until an announcement is made, it's all just speculation.

Columbo has to be one

Columbo would be the equivalent of 43 separate films (or 67 if you count the post-series 'movies').

That would be a large investment

Cry of the City has been restocked. We are still awaiting Modesty Blaise (and Trouble Man, and possibly—though not as part of the WSL sale—Fritz Lang: The Silent Films).

I would love a Blu-ray of Virtue, but Sony doesn't seem to want to play nice with KL for whatever reason.

Thanks as always for this!

Some more that are no longer available from the KL shop, though neither KLSC nor WSL titles:
Conquest (1983) (Code Red)
Himalaya (1999)
Night Patrol (1984) (Scorpion)
Terror Train (1980) (Scorpion)

I actually am kind of curious what happened to the KLI? Maybe they are on vacation are they had a new policy change after the New Year's? I can't remember the last time they posted in terms of the insider that answers questions. I do hope they come back soon enough, and just going to assume they are a break.

Or maybe we'll get a Vinegar Syndrome Insider any day now...

With how crazy that thread gets, they probably would leave after an hour and never come back.

I had no idea Kino's HQ is just a few blocks from my job in NYC. Maybe I can stop in and ask about the KLI's whereabouts

Don't forget to demand a free O-card of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Also to ask when the next Disney deal is getting signed.

Maybe they'd let you tour the Kino Kloset.
