re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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!

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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.

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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.

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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.

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.

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

At least Twilight Time isn't releasing them :)

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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.

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

They are releasing:

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

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

Also Fire with Fire and Firstborn on the same date.

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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.

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:

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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.

Someone must be listening ;)

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
 

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

re: The Olive Films Blu-ray Thread
