Looks like that new UK labelās release of Road to Fort Alamo will be delayed quite a bit. Despite the release date being in just a few weeks, the restoration itself isnāt even finished yet which is a bit odd.

Sounds like a lot of work and expense for a relatively obscure little movie ā¦ great that itās being done, but as always it strikes me there are much more worthy titles in need of this TLC .
Wonder what the story is behind this restoration, or rather why this was chosen over so many other candidates.

Well, one movie at a time I guess 
. On the full post on their FB they have a nice comparison video showing the restored footage next to the unrestored and they really are working with some tough materials.

I believe here the answer is quite simple: Mario Bava. The cult status of some directors apparently make any effort and all releases profitable. While a great many superior films get no or sloppy releases, most works of Bava get an upgrade with every new achievement in digital video technology, it seems. Fort Alamo is still a bizarre choice as I donāt think even most die-hard Bava fans actually like it, but maybe itās the only one that could still be licenced?
Itās even more extreme with Argento where it seems thereās a new, better version almost annually with some titles.

Honestly, I prefer that they take their time with the releases as opposed to just pumping them out for a quick buck.

Any word on that DYS from Kino? I love that film and, although EurekaĀ“s release isnĀ“t horrible, I would love it if another one of LeoneĀ“s films could get a definitive version.
Elementary my dear Peon! ā¦ 
Iād actually forgotten it was a Mario Bava flick. Yes, that makes sense.

Of course I do as well but for a new company it is not a strong title to be starting withā¦ makes it a bit of a gamble. So I have my doubts to how this will go for them but as with any small company I wish them success in all future endeavors!

I have sent them better audio from VHS (longest version) and from 35mm source. These tracks are also more complete compared to DVD.

Excellent news 
! The French Blu Ray looked quite good, but Iāve got a good feeling Explosive Mediaās Blu Ray will be exquisite.
