RADIANCE FILMS ANNOUNCES NEW BLU-RAY AND 4K UHD IMPRINT TRANSMISSION
FIRST TITLE NIGHT OF THE JUGGLER COMING NOVEMBER 17TH IN 4K UHD
The new imprint will focus on revitalising left-of-the-dial cult classics with new 4K restorations, newly commissioned special features, and limited-edition packaging
7th August 2025 - Radiance Films today announces the launch of Transmission, a new imprint for UK Blu-ray and 4K UHD releases, focusing on offbeat cult classics and underappreciated genre film-making.
Equally inspired by late-night TV oddities, all-night cinemas such as the Scala and 42nd Street grindhouses, and the video shop experience of the 80s and 90s, Transmission will invite new audiences to recapture that same thrill of discovery with its upcoming slate of left-of-the-dial UHD and Blu-ray titles.
The first Transmission title will be 1979’s Night of the Juggler, a long-unavailable action-crime cult-classic that sees the mean streets of 70s New York become a battleground as an ex-cop (James Brolin) mercilessly attempts to track down the psychopath (Cliff Gorman) who has kidnapped his daughter.
Night of the Juggler will be released in a dual format 4K UHD and Blu-ray on November 17th, with the film newly restored in 4K and presented in Dolby Vision HDR, and accompanied by an array of special features, a 40 page bound book, poster, a set of lobby card postcards, and limited edition packaging.
Radiance Films also holds all rights for Night of the Juggler in the UK and Ireland, and plans theatrical events plus digital and streaming presentations to follow.
Pre-orders for the dual format 4K UHD of Night of the Juggler go live on Radiance’s website at 11am tomorrow (8th August) alongside regular Radiance November announcements.
Future Transmission titles include underseen genre gems; an offbeat cult classic about the perils of movie-making; an acclaimed touchstone of 1970s horror, and one of the most outrageous black comedies of the 80s. All currently planned titles will be receiving their UK Blu-ray premieres.
