Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural (1973) coming from Synapse - Page 4 - Blu-ray Forum

CountYorgaRules · 07-27-2020, 07:07 PM

I just saw Synapse say on their Facebook page under a post for this film that they currently had no plans for LEMORA. For the experts here: should we take that as a bluff or is that really the last word?

Why not contact the director? He's on social media, though he's more known as a record/music collector nowadays, I believe.

That's a bummer. If you have no interest in releasing the movie and are busy with vintage porn anyway, the only decent thing to do is sell the rights to someone who is going to do something with it. I do believe though, that a Blu-ray release was considered at one point, even if one was never officially announced. Didn't they post a photo of the restoration work on Facebook a few years ago?

Yes it can be found at the start of this thread.

Synapse must really be raking it in with porn- I see one or two new titles pop up on Diabolik every other week but they're all on DVD. The vintage porn isn't doing gangbusters for Vinegar Syndrome, though - otherwise they'd sell more than one adult title a month.

Gotcha. Should’ve proofread my post before submitting. Talk about sloppy. Oh well, you got the gist of it.

They may have lost the rights to it.

I saw today that Bruno Terrier Bava mentioned on the Hammer Horror on Blu-ray Facebook page that producer Robert Fern is asking too much for the rights. There's no confirmation that this is accurate, but if they did loose the rights and another company picks it up, at least it will get an HD release on Blu.

The header on this thread should now read, "Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural (1973) NOT coming from Synapse"

Chris

Has Christian Muth been on here recently to verify this? If LEMORA's scan was progressing nicely at one point, why is this release now being denied per Synapse?

frakking toaster · 08-26-2020, 09:52 PM

Just saw this on Instagram.

TheWildWon · 08-28-2020, 03:12 AM

Ok so he's saying he did not "announce" it. I've been following this since 2015 and you can look back to the start of this thread. He posted a picture of the restoration work being done. Someone comments on the post telling Don this is great news and asks if we can expect a BD this year (being 2015) and he responds "depends on the restoration needed". Then we hear nothing for a while. Then the mysterious Christian Muth posts on here that the transfer of LEMORA was progressing nicely. And then, just recently, the Synapse Facebook page says "no plans" instead of "still in production", which I know they have said in response to inquiries in the past.

So no formal announcement, no barcode, etc, yes. But WTF was all this I just mentioned here about and why jerk us around for years?

CountYorgaRules · 08-28-2020, 03:14 AM

Now he says "we were looking into it". They were working and moving along on a new 4K scan! That's contradiction if I've ever heard it!

Kakihara · 08-28-2020, 04:52 AM

We just can't believe a word Don says or types. So dishonest.

re: Lemora

Put it out of your mind.
Don't hope for it. Don't expect it.

If/when it should ever get announced, simply enjoy it as a pleasant surprise.

I know I would/will.

I'm trying very hard to, believe me!

Cinema84 · 09-04-2020, 07:29 PM

OK, we got the Arrow thread stickied, now it's time for another petition: Get this one deleted since there is no Blu-ray forthcoming. Or at least get it moved to the wishlist section.

See, that's tricky because in Don May speak, NO usually means YES.
