[Blu-ray] Latest and Upcoming Releases 📀

The Kino version has over cropping (Clint’s toes are cut off) plus the color and brightness have been pushed too far, making the skin tone orange when it’s clearly an overcast day.

I saw this on an original 35mm Technicolor print some years ago 
 and although that process is usually synonymous with vivid color 
 the Arrow screenshot looks more natural or closer to what I watched in the cinema.

The Arrow cap look much more natural indeed. Excited for these!

I wonder if Arrow will do a box release after these has been all released individually


this has been asked or posted a million times on Facebook and elsewhere :slight_smile: the answer is no, as (most likely) for licensing issues they’re not allowed to do it, just like Kino wasn’t, either
 we don’t know the precise details (as there have been box sets in the past), but back then Fox/MGM had the rights in “one hand” in some markets at some time, and things may have gotten more complicated over time with the distribution rights.

I knew Eureka! was putting out some of DEFA’s less propaganda filled Sci-Fi and Fantasy Fairy Tale films the last couple months but honestly weren’t expecting them to get into some of the Red Westerns, a bold and interesting choice for sure.

The Sons of Great Bear is definitely the most digestible of the series as the Anti-West/Anti-Capitalism elements can be easily overlooked, but after that it gets really blurry. I might give this a look again after a long sojourn away from it.

Soul Media Denmark. An email to them bounced, website not updated. Are they out of biz?

Does anyone know why Plaion won’t ship to the UK? I was after their They Call Him Holy Ghost Blu Ray but it is only being sold on their website, not Amazon, and they won’t ship to UK. Their other releases are available on Amazon and I can get them.

If it is the same reason they won’t ship to the US is because Plaion told me the logistical costs and customs are very expensive.

I only partially buy this because both costs aren’t on the sender side (with additional forms and stuff on sender side that are extra work, true). But it’s a nightmare for returns which I believe they are legally obliged to offer to all customers
 Not sure.

At any rate me and others on here based in the 'Schland gladly buy it for you and ship over

I thought Plaion had some stuff for 2025, patiently awaiting to see what they might have!

They always take forever :frowning:
