Twilight Time / Redwind

[Feego]

Good point. It is remarkable how consistently awful their covers are, though. Has there ever been a good one?

Oh Domino, you used to think so!

[domino harvey]

Were we ever so young?

[Werewolf by Night]

And the worst of their covers look like those old airbrushed, Turner VHS covers from their old RKO and MGM catalog. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Yep.

I was remembering something more along these lines:

[domino harvey]

That one's actually pretty cool, though

Interview with Nick Redman at Blu-ray Authority, where he reveals a couple of Japanese films that Twilight Time will release: The Yellow Handkerchief (1977) and The Emperor in August (2015).

[captveg]

He also says the following: "We had all of the MGM/UA Woody’s, minus the four they released, and a couple of the Sony’s coming down the line."

The Sony owned Allen titles not yet released on Blu-ray in the US are: Husbands and Wives (1992), Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993), and Sweet and Lowdown (1999).

This also means they plan to release the remaining MGM titles: Bananas (1971), September (1987), and Alice (1990)

[FrauBlucher]

I wonder how many supplements he is going to try and sneak on to the releases.

[Ribs]

Any chance Allen's stranglehold on his releases wouldn't apply for UK releases from Indicator (assuming they're with Sony there too)?

Kind of a bummer if Arrow's exclusion from Sony licenses would prevent them from doing another set with the Miramax titles too.

[knives]

No chance given the Arrow precedent.

[domino harvey]

I'm certain Allen is on top of his worldwide holdings and their content

[John Shade]

I look forward to a Sweet and Lowdown release. It's been years since I've seen that film and I remember liking it back then.

[domino harvey]

Twilight Time lost the rights to Panic Room. I think we all know what label it's heading to now...

[cdnchris]

How did they pick that up only to let the rights lapse? I feel that would have been a quick sell out one for them.

[domino harvey]

Sony apparently withdrew the rights at Fincher's behest

[matrixschmatrix]

Haha seriously though good for Fincher

[dwk]

Sony Collector's Choice BD-R baby.

[captveg]

Here's what they said on FB:

Twilight Time Movies We did [have Panic Room], but it maybe a title we trade back to Sony as really and truly they should do it themselves.

Twilight Time Movies - we appreciate your comments, but this is a decision that will be taken out of our hands---Mr Fincher is involved, and he will likely request that Sony do as much as possible for the title -- we can only cross our fingers and hope for the best!

From TT's FB page:

Just a heads-up there are approximately 50 copies remaining of Truffaut's classic, THE STORY OF ADELE H (1975) - only at http://www.screenarchives.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and still at the special price of $9.95 while stocks last...

[captveg]

The Story of Adele H. has officially sold out.

[Gregory]

Time to start asking Criterion to release it. I haven't emailed Criterion like that in over a decade but will do it for this film, which I love but still avoided the TT release, confident it'll get a better Blu-ray from someone, possibly across the pond.
