I can picture the new 2011 trailer already... With the deep voiced American guy..

From the man who brought you Dylan Dog...

Dellamorte Dellamore is...

THE CEMETERY MAN!

Makes no sense but still... :)

I know I'm a bit late to this discussion, but I'd have to echo others regarding the title as you can't have Dellamorte Dellamorte is The Cemetery Man and expect those who know the film to look at it and wonder if Shameless know anything about the film they are releasing.

As has already been suggested, my feeling is Cemetery Man would be the most commercially successful title and the one most likely to appeal to casual buyers in HMV and other retailers (if there are any), so have that as the main title on the main artwork, though with Dellamorte Dellamorte in smaller print at the bottom, perhaps preceded by 'aka'.

The reverse artwork should definitely have Dellamorte Dellamorte as the only title, preferably with an Italian poster or vintage cover art.

As for the more important part of the original post, the more Blu-ray releases, the better and, though I already own the Blue Underground Torso BD and have ordered Night Train Murders and Strip Nude for Your Killer, I'd love to see them released on Yello-ray along with new titles and any older ones which have HD source material at an affordable price.

Yes, I totally agree with Dellamorte Dellamore being in brackets or just as a subheading below the main title Cemetery Man. But Dellamorte Dellamore IS NOT Cemetery Man :p

As for their releases on BD. I'm not the type to double dip so if BU or Synapse or whoever release a region-free version of a film before the UK version I will just buy the US one. For that reason I'd like to see BD releases of films unreleased elsewhere on BD. I don't mind upgrading my DVDs to BD, so I'm happy to buy BD versions of the Shameless back-catalogue, just as long as they haven't been released elsewhere first.

Just my standpoint

Shame about the lack of Blu but still good news about a SL release!

And as said before, please please do NOT use that title, it is terrible!

It's a pretty hefty insinuation, but I think you've got a point there. :nod:
After all, Italian licensors don't have a bad reputation for no reason, and what you've written isn't too difficult to imagine!

Losing an HD master in the year 2011 is a very strange thing indeed! :mmph:

Greetings!

I bet Berlusconi nicked it.

It will be part of his own private collection when he "steps down".

I agree, it is a very strange thing indeed. I've heard stories from other people about shenanigans in trying to license Italian films, so nothing would surprise me, really.

I'm not making an outright accusation, it's just speculation. Thought I'd add that before I get sued. :lol:

I was waiting patiently for the Shameless Blu Ray, but now I guess I'll be buying the Italian Blu Ray which, by all accounts, is stunning quality.

So thats Tenebre, Bird with the Crystal Plumage and now Dellamorte Dellamore I've bought from elsewhere.

I really, really want to keep my Arrow and Shameless collection complete... but I can't justify buying sub-par copies ... or no copy now in the case of a Blu Ray Dellamorte Dellamore.

A disappointed customer.

Well, Sarah did say that Shameless haven't yet entirely ruled out the possibility of a Blu-ray, so your disappointment could be a bit premature.

I really like Shameless' output on blu, they really seem to have put the effort into their 2 releases thus far. Not fussed about them not releasing the DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE as the German BD is brilliant, the daytime scenes look like they were filmed yesterday (Italian & German released probably have the same transfer?).

I'd like to see something not yet available elsewhere on blu, another exclusive like CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST. Anything from HALLOWEEN 3 to HOUSE WITH LAUGHING WINDOWS to STAGEFRIGHT. Anything :p
