Body Snatchers I'm especially looking forward to - I just wish that Olive titles weren't so damn expensive. Between these two, Space Children, Colossus of New York, and whatever other Republic/Paramount stuff they put out in the second half of this year, I'll be cleaned out!

Nope:
• THE MAKING OF HIGH NOON (1992 – 23 MINUTES) - NARRATED BY LEONARD MALTIN
Includes Interviews with LLOYD BRIDGES | STANLEY KRAMER | FRED ZINNEMANN | JOHN RITTER | DAVID CROSBY | Archival Interview with GARY COOPER
• THEATRICAL TRAILER
And zip for Body Snatchers. Both are 'restored in HD from the film's original negative' though. Here's what was dropped from High Noon:

• Commentary by Maria Cooper-Janis, Jonathan Foreman, Tim Zinneman, John Ritter, and David Crosby.
• Featurette: Inside High Noon (49:56).
• Featurette: Behind High Noon (9:47).
• Featurette: Tex Ritter: A Visit to Carthage Texas (5:57).
Tex Ritter performing the Oscar winning theme song on The Jimmy Dean Show (2:54)
• Radio broadcast with Tex Ritter on the Ralph Emery Show (5:35)
I guess I'll just stick my High Noon disc into the Blu-ray case then.

High Noon and Invasion of the Body Snatchers?! Despite extras being dropped, that still makes me very happy. :)

This was posted on HTF:

I contacted Olive and was told that Johnny Guitar "is right around the corner."

^ More good news!

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 
Agreed! I consider it one of the greatest American films of the 1950's, so I'm looking forward to retiring my washed-out German DVD.

Well, well, well, I'm very pleased! Body Snatchers will be mine.

Body Snatchers! Johnny Guitar! In HD!

With these two, the Godard releases, and 1900 (among others), Olive is turning out to be one of the most exciting labels.

Check out the list of potential Blu-ray Republic titles here - Beware my Lovely, Ruthless, Letter from an Unknown Woman, That Cold Day in the Park, China Gate, The Quiet Man, and a billion others. The mind boggles!

Would love to see this one get a BD release.
Have never seen it, but it has a substantial, glowing write up in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before you Die.

Otherwise, IOTBS is my #1 most wanted from the Republic catalog. Thrilled to see it coming sooner rather than later.

Kinda hate to see these Republic classics farmed out to Olive, but I'm in for High Noon for sure

Perfect Weapon is $21.99 on Amazon?! Man, I want it, but that's pretty steep...

What I wouldn't give for a blu-ray edition of Firstborn (1984) or The Boogens (1981) as they never got a DVD treatment. I'm not going to hold my breath though, especially with all of the titles on that list that are legitimately worthy.

Lionsgate has been sitting on them for years, so at least they're finally going to be released.

It turns out High Noon and Invasion won't be taken from the original negatives:

The original negative for INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS does not exist and is considered lost.

The HIGH NOON negative does exist – But this restoration was done off a FINEGRAIN.

I suppose it makes a fair deal of sense to consider it lost if it doesn't exist.

Body Snatchers and High Noon?

Fantastic news.

Now, if someone would just get Ferrara's version of Body Snatchers out, I could complete the trifecta.

NoirFan 04-27-12 04:55 PM
re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 
I wish that it were possible to somehow remove the tacked-on voice-over narration and framing sequence in Snatchers, but obviously that's wishful thinking. The film is still a classic, but it would be even better without the compromised ending and redundant, atmosphere-destroying voice-over.

I know this is kind of bitchy but...I'll have to wait for good price drops for the lack of "sufficient" extras.

Yes, better to have them out than sitting in the can

Blu-ray.com review of 1900

Looks like Family Video is the best bet for Olive titles, as they offer them for $17.99 each. Unfortunately, their free shipping coupon expired yesterday.

Superdaddy 05-03-12 07:16 PM

They are releasing:

Body and Soul (1947) and Force of Evil (1948) on July 30th.

Also Fire with Fire and Firstborn on the same date.

Wow, Firstborn! I'm sure I'm one of the few in the world who care but I'll be scooping this up for sure. Another VHS retired.

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 
This Republic-Olive deal is working well. Next up should be Letter from an Unknown Woman, Caught, Dark Mirror, Secret Beyond the Door, Rio grande and A Double Life.

NoirFan 05-09-12 01:28 PM
re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 
The first Olive release with any extras is The Boogens, coming on 8/7, and including an audio commentary by director James L. Conway, star Rebecca Balding and screenwriter David O’Malley:

Try Importcds.com, I ones I bought from them (The perfect Weapon, Crack in the world, Geisha Boy, Boeing Boeing) were about 14.50 each plus $3.00 shipping for the first item and 1.50 for each additional.

Well hot damn. I hope they port over the commentary that was on the Republic release.

Thanks for the tip. Are you not able to pre-order titles? I tried to add Colossus, Space Children, and several other upcoming Olive discs only to be told 'Not yet released, coming soon'. Also, do they ship titles as they become available?

Never tried preordering from them before so I guess not but my order was shipped within the next day and I got them within a week. The company is siblings with DeepDiscount (I believe) and will be package the same as DD's.

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 
importcds is definitely the cheapest for Olive dvds and blus, also Kino blus.

But their pre-orderign system baffles me, for example a lot of the to come Olive titles show up 'on sale' for $14ish but you cant add them to your cart.
