That's the one I wish they had chosen to go with first, but you won't hear me complaining.

[Marv Inc.]

Not heard of it before but in the name of supporting the line I shall buy it.

Warner owns it and it won't see the light of day anytime soon unless they let another company release it.

Vestron GOTHIC (2017) Blu-ray Trailer HD [Exclusive] - YouTube

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!

I can finally retire my Laserdisc copy.

[cakefactory]

I remember Mark Kermode (BBC's movie critic) doing a write-in feature on his show where listeners were supposed to list a movie's cast and instead of the old "FEATURING" or "INTRODUCING" for one cast member they'd use "BUT" on one cast member to point out someone terrible that hurt the movie single-handedly, especially if the rest of the cast was good. Julian Sands was his example of an actor/actress that makes the most negative impact on any movie he's in.

That's my lame story! I know NOTHING about this movie, just seeing Julian Sands' name makes me snicker. I think he was his most-hated actor outside of Danny Dyer.

I've only seen The Devils, Crimes of Passion and Altered States for Ken Russell. I really like The Devils and Altered States, but can take or leave Crimes of Passion. How's this one? What does it compare to?

[dissention]

It's a lovely day when I find out my Ken Russell collection will be growing. Gothic is far from a favorite, but it's still entertaining.

[DrunkenPumpkin]

Love this movie, not sure if I love it THAT much but will se as it gets closer

Why would they go with a title they don't own?

Three points;
- I think Julian Sands was marvelous in the first 2 "Warlock" films.
- Check out Ken's "Lair of the White Worm" a bit campy but a lot of fun, and
- I love "Gothic". I can finally retire my dvd!

Gag....Gothic is lame bring on more Stuart Gordon

[Moonlight Shadow]

Funny, just yesterday I was looking at my DVD on the shelf and thinking if I would upgrade it to Blu-ray if it would be released.
I think I probably will.

Oh?
I had no idea.
I'll throw my dvd in the garbage immediately then.

[1234567?]

Well, I am a fan of Ken Russel. I loved Lair Of the White Worm. My complaint on that one is the transfer looks a tad better then DVD. Hardly an upgrade. So I'm hoping this will look good. So far Vestron has been here and there with PQ. But I like Most the actors in it a lot so this will be a nice addition for me anyways.

[Cremildo]

Years after I threw away my worthless 1.33:1 DVD? Better late than never!

Didn't know that. Sorry.

I just meant if I could choose any Russell, that would probably it. My knowledge of all these licensing issues is obviously close to nil.
