The Hidden, The Changeling (1980) ja The Hitcher (1986). Tämä vuosi on ollut todellakin SE vuosi blu-ray julkaisuissa Vielä kun Arrow julkaisisi Superstition (1982) tai kuka tahansa. Niin ne kaikkein "tärkeimmät" olisi sitten siinä
The MVD Entertainment Group and the Rewind Collection have detailed their upcoming Special Collector's Edition of director Eric Karson's action film Black Eagle (1988), starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Shô Kosugi, Bruce French, William Bassett, and Kane Kosugi. The release will be available for purchase on February 13. Synopsis: "After an F-11 gets shot down over the Mediterranean Sea, The U.S. government cannot afford to lose the top-secret laser tracking device that was on board. But unfortunately, the KGB team lead by the infamous Andrei (Jean-Claude Van Damme, The Expendables 2, Universal Soldier) are beating the CIA in the race to find it. The CIA has no choice but to call in their best man, master martial-artist Ken Tani (Sho Kosugi, Ninja Assassin, Revenge of the Ninja), code name… BLACK EAGLE. In response, the KGB resorts to an all-out war, with powerful Andrei matching Ken blow for blow. From legendary action director Eric Karson (The Octagon), Black Eagle also stars Doran Clark (The Warriors), Bruce French (Jurassic Park III) and William Bassett (House of 1000 Corpses)."

Arrow Twitter: The Hitcher "shit. Do you have the blu- ray rights also?" "I will join my predecessors and ask: Will you please give us a release of this classic?" Arrow: "We would love to one day but sadly don't have the rights at the moment." Mielenkiintoista
Näissä kuvioissahan tunnetusti tilanteet elää, ja se mikä tänään ei syystä tahi toisesta ole edes muodollisesti mahdollista, voi olla seuraavana hetkenä jotain aivan muuta kuin mitä "virallinen linja" antaa tarmokkaasti ymmärtää.
Jos tämä nyt pitää paikkaansa, niin kyllä se sieltä on tulossa? "I can confirm that I was at Q&A in L.A. at Cinefamily with Robert Harmon the director of The Hitcher earlier this year and he confirmed it is being worked on to come to blu-ray. So odds are decent that it may be Arrow that will release it!" lähde blu-ray.com foorumi
Stephen King`s Silver Bullet/Umbrella Entertainment/tammikuu 3. 2018/Region B (Free) Audio Commentary with Director Daniel Attias The Wolf Within – An Interview with Actor Everett McGill Full Moon Fever – Interviews with Special Effects Artists Michael McCracken, Jr. and Matthew Mungle Dino’s Angel Takes on Lycanthropy: Martha De Laurentis Remembers SILVER BULLET (25 minutes) Isolated Score Selections and Audio Interview with Composer Jay Chattaway Theatrical trailer (HD) TV Spot Radio Spot Still Gallery Tuli juuri katsottua Saksan blu-ray julkaisu ja parantamisen varaa olisi kuvallisesti (plussaa julkaisun enkku teksteistä). Umbrellan ekstrat ovat (ehkä) myös elokuvan uudelleenoston arvoisia? Elokuvana Silver Bullet on yksi elokuvallinen onnistuminen ihmissusi genressä ja näitä onnistumisia ei hirveästi ole. Luultavasti tämäkin tullaan uudelleen tekemään, kun IT leffakin takoi hitosti rahaa studion kassaan. Re-make ei välttämättä olisi huono homma?
On todella vaikea kuvitella sitä joukkosuggestion voimaa jollaisen myötävaikutuksella kaltaisille kansikuvakyhäelmille ylipäätään myönnetään julkaisulupa, ja aivan erityisesti fyysisestä formaatista puhuttaessa. Mahdollisesti joku itseään muka taiteilijana pitävä kilipää nauranee taas koko matkan pankkiin. Umbrellan tuotantotiimi on osaltaan osoittanut jälleen ilmeisen välinpitämättömillä valinnoillaan olevansa yksi niistä vähemmän vakavasti otettavista tekijöistä tuolla(kin) saralla. Taustalla voi toki vaikuttaa moni seikka mahdollisia tekijänoikeuksia myöten, mutta onhan tuollainen kokolailla anteeksi antamatonta tulokulmaan katsomatta. Kaikesta huolimatta aina voi toivoa, että onnistuisivat omalla painoksellaan elokuvasta erottumaan edukseen koodausta myöten, vaikka julkaisijan katalogihistorian tuntien en ainakaan henkilökohtaisesti liikoja odota. Koch Media -julkaisussa on omat, jo nyttemin yleisesti hyvin tiedossa olevat ongelmat korkeahkosta bittivirrastakin huolimatta, joka luonnollisesti harvoin jos koskaan on yksin tae millekään, mutta saksalaisen julkaisun hankkineista valtaosa tyytynee tarjontaan tällaisenaan, ainakin toistaiseksi.
Eräs brittiläinen "nettituttu" on maailman suurin Xtro-fani ja kertoili, että hänet oli kutsuttu haastateltavaksi uuteen dokkariin, joka tulee mukaan Second Sightin tulevalle Xtro Blu-raylle. Samalla kertoili, että Second Sight käyttää samaa skannausta kuin kesällä tullut saksalainen BD, mutta remasteroivat sen uudestaan, koska eivät olleet tyytyväisiä sakemannien liialliseen DNR:n käyttöön. Myös uutta 5.1 HD Master Audio -raitaa ollaan miksaamassa.
Mikä on konsensus, mistä kannattaa Blade runner 2049 blu-ray (ja ehkä 4K) tilata? Onko odotettavissa, etä jenkkiversio toimii Euroopan alueen soittimessa?
Eikös se pidä nyt ostaa niin monesta paikkaa kuin raskii, jotta saadaan tuotantoyhtiö pelastetuksi. Itse kysymykseen liittyen sanottakoon että aika monestihan nuo Warnerin julkaisut ovat olleet aluevapaita, joten kait tämänkin US-julkaisu melko todennäköisesti aluevapaa on.
We are very excited to (finally) lay out the final details for our Collector’s Edition Blu-ray & DVD combo of HELL NIGHT today! We have much to communicate so please read the entire status update. First off, just a reminder that we did have to delay the release. The new street date is January 2, 2018. However, if you order early from our site @ https://www.shoutfactory.com/…/hell-...ector-s-editi… you’ll receive it two weeks early and receive an 18” x 24” poster of the newly-commissioned artwork from artist Justin Osbourn. Now, on to the extras. We have nearly 4 HOURS of new bonus features! There’s so much that we couldn’t fit them all on the DVD disc so several will be exclusive to the Blu-ray format. The breakdown is as follows... BLU-RAY DISC · NEW 4K Scan of the film taken from the best surviving archival print (DTS HD Master audio mono) · NEW interviews with actors Linda Blair, Peter Barton, Vincent Van Patten, Suki Goodwin, Kevin Brophy and Jenny Neumann · Audio Commentary with Linda Blair, Tom DeSimone, Irwin Yablans and Bruce Cohn Curtis · Original Theatrical Trailer & TV spots · Blu-ray Disc Exclusives: NEW interview with Director Tom DeSimone NEW interview with Producer Bruce Cohn Curtis NEW interview with Writer Randolph Feldman NEW – Anatomy of the Death Scenes with Tom DeSimone, Randolph Feldman, Make-up artist Pam Peitzman, Art Director Steven G. Legler and Special Effects artist John Eggett NEW - On Location at the Kimberly Crest House with Tom DeSimone NEW – Gothic Design in Hell Night with Steven G. Legler Original Radio spot Photo Gallery featuring rare, never-before-seen stills DVD DISC · NEW 4K Scan of the film taken from the best surviving archival print (Dolby Digital mono) · NEW interviews with actors Linda Blair, Peter Barton, Vincent Van Patten, Suki Goodwin, Kevin Brophy and Jenny Neumann · Audio Commentary with Linda Blair, Tom DeSimone, Irwin Yablans and Bruce Cohn Curtis · Original Theatrical Trailer & TV spots Finally, we want to address the new transfer up front. This new transfer comes from a 4K scan of the best archival 35mm film print. After an exhaustive search for the original film elements, the print was the only available element we could work with. We did extensive color correction and film restoration to clean up the film damage. The print was missing some minor footage, so we had to insert some standard definition footage (which we also restored) to deliver the complete film. Despite some these challenges we are pleased with the end results and hope you will agree soon!

Itseäni kiinnostaa enemmän tuo Demmen the Silence of the Lambs. Nyt kun näistä tärkeimmistä tehdään 4K restoration, niin miksei samantien tule myös UHD?
4k restoration blu-ray, 4k restoration UHD, 4k restoration UHD Special Edition, Director´s Cut, Diamond Edition, Collector´s Edition, Ultimate Edition, Special Collectors' Set, Masterworks Collection, Final Ultimate Edition......8k UHD, 8k restoration UHD, Special Edition...
Ilmeisesti tätä ei ole vielä riittävän montaa kertaa toistettu: UHD tulee sitten kun/jos se on näille putiikeille taloudellisesti järkevää.
Silent Night, Deadly Night Collector`s Edition arvostelu: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Silent-Night-Deadly-Night-Blu-ray/184364/#Review "The Unrated Version features the 4K scan of "Silent Night, Deadly Night" with additional footage pulled from what appears to be a VHS tape, with Shout Factory doing what they can to match the footage (the last two screenshots show the difference in quality). It's an impossible task, but the dips in quality aren't too disruptive" "Shout includes a note that a quest to find the Extended Version in the Sony vaults was unfortunately fruitless."
