So is Blue Underground gonna re-do a lot of the Hammer films?
|
I missed out on the Elite version, so I will buy the Blue Underground release. The premise sounds promising.
|
Bill Lustig has stated that they will eventually be rereleased by Blue Underground. There is no time frame mentioned. I am sure that Blue Underground will eventually revisit all of the licenses reverting back to Lustig.
|
Blue Underground really needs to update their website more often. For such a marketing savvy company it is surprising that their website is so static.
|
How successful is Blue Underground's current marketing strategy? Are they selecting good releases? Are they pricing them right?
|
Over at the Digital Bits there is mention of the Specs for the upcoming Std & LE of The Final Countdown
:up: http://www.thedigitalbits.com/#final1 |
There are actually three versions of The Final Countdown which will be released by Blue Underground. They are releasing a single disc fullscreen, a single disc widescreen, and a two disc limited edition widescreen edition. Why Blue Underground is doing this is beyond me.

Lloyd Kaufman is an interesting guy. I think he might have some very useful information. Don't sell him short.

Originally posted by RichDB10 Yes...but a Lenticular cover which has the Nimitz disappear and re-appear depending upon which side you turn it from..surely this is worth $10 admission alone....:rolleyes: |

The 2-disc version is only $18 at DDD. Can't really complain about the price. Final Countdown will be their most popular release yet, so it's not a big surprise that they're offering multiple versions. After all, BU got its roots from Anchor Bay.
|
I will buy the two disc set, though not for the lenticular cover.
|
Yeah, I'd be willing to pay $18.00 for the single disc version, so I've got no problem with the existence of a 2-disc version!
|
this sounds cool, too!!
update from the bits: "The Zero Pilot Journal is actually a 4,000 word diary written by the CAF (Confederate Air Force) detailing the Zero pilots' experience filming the dogfight scenes with the F-14s, from the difficulties just flying down to Key West, to filming the flight scenes with the Tomcats. It turns out that it was an extremely difficult and dangerous task. The article was written in 1979 before the movie was released and has been essentially lost since. I cannot stress enough how detailed this article is. It is a complete documentary, just in words rather than video. I guarantee if you love the Final Countdown movie, you will love this article and find it extremely educational." |

I disagree. I do not believe that Final Countdown will be their most popular release. I don't think the film has that big a following. Most people don't even remember it.

I wish Blue Underground would update their website. I am still looking for an announcement about replacement boxes for The Mondo Cane Collection.

According to various sources and responses i have received by e-mail myself, they are looking to get replacement boxes out by Feb.1 according to Lissa Beltri (BU) |

Originally posted by gutwrencher I'd say that of all the titles on BU....this will "cross the lines" as much or more than any other of their titles. I dont have any figures, but I'll bet Dead and Buried was a good seller as well. for many people, TFC will be their first BU purchase. most of the other titles require a certain taste and open-mindedness, while TFC is one of their more mainstream releases. more people than you think might have seen this flick. any other time it's been released it has recieved crappy promoting and shitty presentation. the word will spread of this title and of the dvd. I hope. I say it's going to surprise many people and sell many copies. |
Originally posted by EPKJ I really doubt that Final Countdown will have much more demand than Dead & Buried or Q The Winged Serpent. regardless...I'm sure that this disc...for us fans....will be top-notch!!:drool: |
