Hammer on DVD/BD Thread

[Handyman Joe]

Incredible news - I really hope Brides of Dracula is one of the 30 - it would look incredible. I wonder how the restorers will deal with the awful day for night footage in some of these titles (especially The Reptile) - always an achillies heel of Hammer. Hopefully a certain Mr Lee is recording commentaries as of now!

Bring them on!

By the looks of it,it's gonna be one hell of a year for Hammer discs!

Super news with all of these titles. Looking forward to the remaining Quatermass titles, The Lost Continent, and The Devil Rides out though.

A cracking cover for Dracula Prince of Darkness

All the HD excitement makes that upcoming Curse Of The Werewolf steelbook DVD even less appealing.

Well if Studio Canal had COTW then I'm sure it would be due for the upgrade.

According to the news article on BBC its all the companies not just Studio Canal.

Quote - The restoration of its older titles is a large undertaking, with the likes of Pinewood Studios, Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Bros, Studio Canal and Paramount Pictures all contributing material.

Yes but in the US COTW and more are with Universal, who are absent from the list. Supposedly their masters went up in flames but there doesn't seem much intention for creating new ones.

I'm just using Studio Canal as a company.with Hammer titles that aren't shying away from releasing them on BD in the UK.

I'm actually not that big a fan of Curse of the Werewolf myself.
