There is also rumours of a dispute between Ken Russell and one of the top dogs at Warner which lasts to this day and is the real reason its locked up. I imagine its part of some internal agreement nobody wants to touch!
@Endocryne You probably already know this bud, but just incase https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAY6TFTAmQg
Has anyone considered making a "the keep" Treatment for Ken Russel's The Devils? It's still insane WB won't allow the film to be restored even to this day
Nice - Arrow 4k restoration of Outland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7OzKVHzfiI
Well, if true, I can't wait to see where they mess up. Framing, grain, colors, sound mixes? All of the above? At least, it could be a better source for new fan projects.
@alleycat, excellent news for our Londonian members. Guys, go see it. It's the only way to experience the real "Heat".
Prince Charles Cinema in London are playing Heat in 35mm twice a month for the rest of 2025.
Except it would be Blu-ray discs and would require such a player, while DVDs are cheaper and still sell better for the general audience worldwide who is already equiped for DVDs.
One of the reasons why they should have more SD on Blu-ray releases than stuck with DVD pressing forever, especially DS9. Little to no compression nor encoding artifacts on the SD format with less discs at the time
Watched thet last night, thought he had bootlegs for a while but it makes sence for cost i guess
Has anyone else come across this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzz_d9Y44ZE
Cool news. Now let's hope for a following proper home video release, meaning not a disappointing one as the 2 UHD seperate volumes.
I haven't seen the news for "Catch Me" and "Minority", but okay, good news indeed.
Jacobs is also coming from Studio Canal, plus Catch me if you can and Minority report from Disney
Yeah i don't either, unless turning off motion smoothing on the tv disables that feature too. As long as they don't force-feed us that.
Ouch! I dread that "authentic motion" thingy. Sounds like a nightmare like that awful variable HFR on "Avatar 2".
this Ronin trailer, goddamn, I say goddamn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rMnhVgmP4M
@titanic I can confirm it's in PCM, so is the isolated music & effect track, and the serigraphy on the disc reads 2025.
No idea. I'm terrible at identifying pitch error. I guess I'll have to rip it for you audio guys to figure it out.
Can you confirm @Beber if the theatrical cut has the same audio pitch error that the previous release had?
Just got my Arrow UHD of "Thief director's cut" including the Blu-ray of the theatrical cut. I like having this kind of mail in my mailbox!
"House Party!!!!" In the Criterion Collection? I surpose I was a Michael Bay defender back in the day, so looking forward to the liner notes on ths one.
I heard about Schifrin, but I missed the news on Snow. The actor portraying Admiral Piett also died the other day.
Damn! That's unexpected. Like Ray Liotta a couple years ago. You'd not expect these guys to check out in their sixties.
Night of the Living Dead (1990) coming to 4k and for the first time in it's uncut version *nice*
Oh damn, my adblocker had blocked the whole forum and I just saw a blank page. I thought it was gone completely :-O
Lol indeed. How convenient to just quote paid reporter/shills when there were long-time fans attending the event as well. They most likely would have said very different things. I bet most of them have had the Despecialized and 4K77 at home for years and thought nothing was jarring but just right, and had a blast seeing it in a theater.
The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch in UHD, Dolby Vision... and Atmos on August 26th from Sony.
The DTS Cinema would be the best one to take the LFE channel, and then take the 5 channels from the BD as a hybrid version. Then again, the DTS Cinema LFE functions differently to other surround sound systems...
Sweet looks like Master and Commander is coming to 4K. I hope the LFE has the full range that the DVD did

The first Lost World JP 4K scan despite looking great in the first glace killed by the encoding issues and black crush; the rest is revisionist mess (the first 4K releases). There is NO mention for the OG unmatrixed 5.1 mixes of these films, means wait for the DTS LD sync for the first two and the DTS CD-ROM for the third one; if the scan and restoration done right than the first releases
Jurassic Park trilogy reedition in June in Dolby Vision and Atmos. Let's hope for a new scan and proper restoration.
