I watched the splendid restoration of Red Sonja last night and really enjoyed it all over again. The chamber of lights looked terrific with those thousands of candles beautifully flickering.

Although there's nothing really new extras wise regarding the film which is a pity there is a documentary film - The Last Movie Painter - about artist Renato Casaro who did the original movie poster and produced the stunning new artwork for this release.

The film runs for 97 minutes and features contributions from Dario Argento among others (Casaro created the classic artwork for Opera).

For anyone who is interested in movie posters this film makes a purchase of Red Sonja a must have.

I bought the steelbook with his original artwork.:lol:

The 4k UHD is eyepopping as well.

Nice! Oct 21st.

An American trying to be Scottish, A Scottish guy trying to be Spanish and Clancy Brown being psychotic, certainly worth the upgrade :pop2::pop2:

:lol:

And an Australian trying to be American....
Well put Mr.B! :clap:

Naomi Holwill has made some brand-new and exclusive supplementary material with Studio Canal for this release including a 56-minute documentary.

''I, The Jury' (1953) - Pre-Order available at Amazon UK - Blu-Ray £15:00 / DVD - £10:00

Release date: October 17

"STUDIOCANAL presents a brand new 4k restoration of the 1953 film noir adaptation of the first in the classic Mike Hammer novel series by Mickey Spillane: I, THE JURY. In the iconic character’s debut big screening outing, Biff Elliot stars as the brutal, brawling 'one-man police department'.

It’s nearly Christmas in New York City but private investigator Mike Hammer is out for vengeance when his closest friend Jack Williams is murdered. Hammer vows to identify the killer ahead of the police, working his way through an increasingly large number of suspects. His starting point includes Jack’s fiancée, a beautiful psychiatrist, twin socialite sisters, and a gangster. But as he tracks them down, so too does the murderer, creating a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

Rated ‘X’ on its initial release, this gritty, hard-to-find crime thriller gem was directed by the legendary Harry Essex (who wrote genre classics It Came from Outer Space and Creature from the Black Lagoon), beautifully filmed in monochrome by Oscar-winning cinematographer John Alton, and features a cameo from Hollywood character actor favourite Elisha Cook Jr (The Killing). Ripe for rediscovery by afficianadoes of hard-boiled 1950s noir, and packed with a host of new special features, this immaculate restoration is a must-own for discerning cult film fans"

Special features:

• 2006 interview with actor Biff Elliot
• Audio Commentary by star Biff Elliot
• Audio Commentary by novelist Max Allan Collins

Prefer the Barbara Carrera version....;)

Jon Finch heads an impressive cast as the flamboyant anti-hero in this dystopian, darkly humorous sci-fi thriller from cult director Robert Fuest. The Final Programme is based on Michael Moorcock’s acclaimed 1968 novel of the same name and has been newly restored.

In a far-off future, mankind is in a state of decay. But a group of scientists believe they have found the means to move humanity on to its next level in the creation of an ideal, self-replicating - and thus immortal - human being. Jerry Cornelius, Nobel Prize-winning physicist and playboy adventurer, is vital to the project's success: his recently deceased father devised the formula of this 'final programme'. However, the formula is captured on a microfilm hidden in the vaults of the family's mansion, and jealously guarded by Jerry's drug-addicted, psychopathic brother, Frank...
