Upcoming Non-UK Blu-ray Releases

[nekromantik]

i am disappointed with Fright Night on twilight time as they charge a lot more then Criterion even for titles! I hope there is a UK bd from a bigger studio.

$40 and a limited number. What a pisstake! What the hell are Sony thinking? Saying that, I WILL buy it.

The reason it costs that much is that it's limited to 3,000 copies. A tad high? Yeah. But I've got a feeling that should it sell well, Sony will re-evaluate a second release. Since they weren't willing to release it themselves a couple of weeks ago, I'd say it's hard to be upset if you're a fan and have a bd player (except for the price, anyhow).

Apparently due for release on 22nd November from Elite Entertainment.

Bit bizarre that such a mainstream (at least now it is) release such as Fright Night be given such a limited release. They could quite easily sell 10-100 times that amount.

Guess it wont be cheap either. And the value will just go up.

Of course, I'll be first in line for a copy.

Yes, the twisted 1960's Mexican cult movie, SANTA CLAUS, is being released on bd. The transfer has been done from the negative and will have the KGM and Mexican versions, along with many extras by Daniel Griffith of Ballyhoo.





Dig the details:

The producers packed every magical, wacky, and just plain weird, holiday oddity known to man in to this wild-n-wonderful, and strangely charming, children’s classic! It’s not enough that Santa must deal with the usual suspects – the good little boys and girls, and the not so good little boys and girls – but this season Lucifer himself is out to ruin Christmas and has sent his chief minion, Pitch, on a mission to Earth to turn all the children of the world against Santa. But wait, there’s more! Santa’s workshop is located high above the North Pole in a Toyland castle in outer space, where he plays the organ and keeps watch over the children on earth through specialized equipment, while readying his mechanical reindeer for Christmas Eve action. Santa also enlists the aid of Merlin the Wizard, who provides him with magic sleeping powder and a flower that makes one disappear. But wait, there’s even more! Santa also receives a magic key that will unlock any door on Earth from Vulcan himself!

I haven't seen Santa Claus, but I'll pick up that BD release as it looks and sounds excellent.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but is there nothing you won't pick up?
