Re: Twilight Time - Spring '14 Titles Announced

#121 Post by AndyDursin »

One thing I would like them to release would be 1979's Dracula with Frank Langella. I was listening to Williams' soundtrack last night and would love to see the film. Plus, wouldn't an isolated score sell lots of copies to the fanboys?
It's Universal so it'd be Shout Factory if anyone gets to it. There's a Japanese Blu-Ray that looks great -- sadly it's still the retinted Badham color, but the transfer and soundtrack are both splendid (and it's Region A for those who need it):

It's definitely Region A because Japan is in the same region code as North America. I don't know if it's region free per se though.

The aspect ratio is also 2.35 -- it's not cropped. It has Badham's commentary from the DVD also.

FEVER PITCH (1996) BLU-RAY - March 10th

I assume this is the original British version of Fever Pitch?

I've never seen "Eye" but I figured I might as well order it given that I liked "Seventh Voyage" after finally seeing it for the first time and that I shouldn't blow my one chance for Blu-Ray! Given how great the Blu-Ray of "Golden Voyage" looked I have every confidence this will look great as well.

Ordered! ... err... :D

I wonder if TT would come out with an original aspect ratio of the TV series, as no one has shown interest in releasing it.

Anyone notice the TT releases have crowded out CDs from SAE's top ten? I wonder if this is any indication of how well CDs are selling these days?

We’re very excited to hear that USA-based Twilight Time are due to release Thunderbirds Are Go and Thunderbird 6 on Special Edition Blu-Rays this coming May!

Speaking to GerryAnderson.co.uk Twilight’s director Nick Redman told us: “As a huge fan of Thunderbirds – and having grown up on everything Anderson – I’m thrilled to be involved in making Thunderbirds Are Go and Thunderbird 6 available in HD on Blu-Ray discs for the very first time”.

I'm glad to hear that "Fate Is The Hunter" is getting the Blu-Ray release because I was afraid that as one of the first TT titles before they started Blu-Ray it might find itself an odd one out on that basis. Let's hope "Stagecoach" gets a similar revisiting down the line.

"The Train" will also be a yes upgrade.

I'd be much more excited about FLIM FLAM MAN in HD. The STAGECOACH remake is a pretty weak picture all the way around IMO
