What, exactly, is in it for the studio to do this? |
Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
I asked on their facebook page and they replied At Long Last Love will probably be $24.99.

Yeah, and if they sold it for $.01 a copy, it'd sell literally dozens more copies!!!!

I'll bet all three fans of "Hudson Hawk" were extremely disappointed.

I gotta admit when Hudson Hawk would run on cable back in the 90's, I wouldn't turn it off.

Well, one would think that Sony would want to put out as much material as possible to promote the Blu-Ray format, rather than license it out to other companies. (Heard Mill Creek somehow put out Hudson Hawk in MONO- totally unexcusable!)
There were a slew of issues with a lot of the first two wave of Mill Creek and Sony Blu-ray releases. The Hostel and Hollow Man double features both had issues with their respective 5.1 tracks. |

So TT will be releasing Philadelphia in a couple of months. It'll have special features and such. I'm too lazy to link right now, though.

I think they (and other niche companies) will recognize this and adapt accordingly. If you've got a title that 5,000 people really, really want, it makes sense to limit it to 3,000 copies and charge a premium. If you've got a title ten times that number people kind of want, make more and charge less. AGAIG is running $50 on Amazon. No casual movie fan is going to pony that up when the norm has dropped to $10 - $20. Hell, I enjoy the movie quite a bit, have a huge collection and have dropped $50 on a handful of hard to get titles, but wouldn't even consider dropping that much on AGAIG.
However if Twilight Time released the original Andromeda Strain or Colussus the Forbin Project, I would probably bite. Two of my all-time favorite sci-fis. Otherwise I'll live with DVD resolution. |
Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
I wish they would get the rights to release Somewhere In Time. I would pay 50 bucks or a HD release of it.
|
Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
I asked awhile ago about ANDROMEDA STRAIN... Someone on this forum said it was in the pipeline for a 2012 release, which never happened. As it's a Universal title, I do not think TT would be licensed to release it, I thought they only had titles from the Sony catalog. I would pay the $35 for it...
Yeah, THE FORBIN PROJECT would be a holy grail on Blu! We don't even have a version of it in 'scope in the US. Overseas, there is a good release on DVD, but I didn't get it because I hate the PAL speedup. I paid $49.95 for the laserdisc of FORBIN PROJECT (which *is* in its correct 2.35:1 OAR) back in the day! |
Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
I'm a bit surprised "Philadelphia" hasn't been shipped yet, don't they usually mail out pre-orders a few days early?
|
Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
FYI, got an e-mail from TT and basically was told they're still waiting for their shipment to arrive.
|
Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
Good to know. Not like I need to see it this second, but for the price it should be on time.
|
Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
Got a shipping notice for Philadelphia yesterday.

Just pre-ordered my copy of Hard Times. Can't wait to check that one out in HD.

Re: The Official Twilight Time Blu-ray Thread
The only thing that has sold out real fast so far are the horror films.
Hard Times is gonna be on TCM in the next week. I have my recorder set. I get the HD version so I'll take a look first. Even The Fury is stil available. I thought that would sell out by now when it came out at the same time as Christine. Probably if their prices weren't like they are it would happen more often. |
