Thanks.

Olive films apparently owns the U.S. and Canadian rights for DVD and Blu-ray release according to IMDb. Here is the link.

Another short, but still frustrating delay for Twilight's Last Gleaming, now streeting on 11/13. Kind of reminds me of Media Blasters: announce a new date, it rolls around, something else comes up, delay again.

OMG--The File on Thelma Jordan!
cool noir that has basically been totally unavailable.
cannot wait to finally see that film.

Olive does release their titles in time, unlike Media Blasters . I know that Twilight's Last Gleaming has been delayed twice, but as far as I remember, that has been an isolated case.

Really?

Media Blaster hasn't released a title on time in a decade. In fact, many of us got cancellation notices on another Media Blasters title yesterday.

How many Olive titles have missed a street date?

Rest assured TWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMING is arriving soon, as is the review.

Looking forward to it

I'm impressed by the modest-but-appreciable upswing in 4k scans and full remastering.

I just want to point out that I'm not trashing Olive and am in NO way comparing them to Media Blasters. I'm just saying that this particular title has been delayed numerous times and this latest delay seemed to come out of nowhere with no official word from the label as to the reason. It just strikes me as very strange. I suspect many people are not familiar with the film's long and difficult journey to home video, beginning with Paramount's pledge to release the film to DVD as far back as 2004. I'm glad that someone is finally able to release it, if not Paramount then the fine folks at Olive, who have been doing terrific work (thanks for THE BOOGENS!).
