For those who havenāt given up hope, there is a Paramount title they are announcing on Sunday
We really need more eyes and ears to detect and find out about releases emerging in Spain, France, Italy, latinamerican countries, etcā¦
The paramount title isnt what we hoped
Whenever I see Gaumont, Iāll always think The Taste of Violence. One day
So are we expecting anything decent from Cjamango and Django, The Last Killer releases? The mediabooks look nice and English friendly but I know this company does not have the best reputation.
Someone already posted about Camango somewhere
Nice!!!
Damn

Coming soon to 4K UHD from Paramount Pictures. Sergio Leoneās āOnce Upon a Time in the Westā (1968) 4K UHD
Long overdue
Theyāll fuck it upā¦ But letās hope they donāt
Did Kino pass on this?
Thatās cool and all but I am personally happy with the blu-ray, would rather have a new scan of Duck, You Sucker hit blu-ray!
My only hope is that they now fix up their slightly faulty master, and release for the first time the original theatrical version.
Best thing would be to release 3 versions, which then would also include the longer Italian version.
itās paramount, theyāll probably invest zero effort
Unfortunately, most likely, yes ā¦
Criterion or Koch/Plaion or Explosive Media would surely try to make it better
We should pen an open letter to paramount and also enlist Argento and others as signatories and also send it to Leone Corp so they supply paramount with all they have in their vaults
āGet rid of that damn Harmonica rising scene. Itās almost as bad as the Tuco grotto scene!ā
Of course, but one problem with that rising scene is, that a new audience has watched OuTW only with that scene, they are used to it, and Iām sure many will complain when it is not longer there. Thatās why a version with and a version without is a solution.
Unless enough important people (like Scorsese or Tarantino or Argento) convince Paramount that it destroys one of the boldest ideas of the film, and that it must be removed.
Unfortunately Scorsese already tried to restore the theatrical version 12 years ago, and kept that scene.
Iāve never had a problem with either of those scenes to be perfectly honest. Concerning the Harmonica Rising scene, I feel it showcases the ultra toughness and determination of Bronsonās character in that not even death itself can stop him from avenging his brother. Plus, the fact that Cheyenne references the bullet hole in Harmonicaās coat kinda gives away that the character was meant to have survived the shooting.
That the character of Harmonica is supposed to be a ghostly or spectral force? Or that something otherworldly is going on with the character? I donāt know exactly what this bold idea is, and I donāt think I ever came across it in anything Iāve read on the film, but Iām taking a wild guess here.
