King Creole is visibly DNRed too.
It's not TCAT bad for sure, but it takes a newer remaster and makes it look like an old HD master.

The first wave of Miramax reprints are coming in September: nothing new that I can tell, just Jackie Brown, 3 by Kevin Smith, Bridget Jones, etc, but encouraging to see them finally reappearing meaning that all the t's have been crossed and i's dotted that new releases can happen.

I wonder if Paramount's deal with Miramax allows them to license to third parties like Criterion. There are some laserdisc titles that I'd love to see come back.

I think that they have licensed some of the Miramax titles to Criterion since Exotica (and a couple of the earlier Atom Egoyan films) was confirmed to be getting a Criterion disc release.

Though those could be back with the original Canadian company. Miramax's owners haven't really tried to renew rights in the past.

No, that is owned by Bob Weinstein and his serial rapist brother as they bought it from Miramax/Disney when the mouse house refused to distribute it.domino harvey wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 2:58 pmIs Dogma one of the titles?

Re: Paramount Catalog Titles on Blu
Good news about Jackie Brown. I literally tried bidding on an auction for it yesterday, but $25 felt like too much to pay for a Blu-ray I saw going for half of that for years. I knew it would inevitably reprinted.
I feel like the current woke Criterion would not want to release anything with Harvey Weinstein’s name attached. Exotica makes sense as it was a title picked up by Miramax, thus not having the Weinstein name attached to the credits. I bet it’s back in the hands of the Canadian distributors.

They've streamed plenty of Miramax titles on the channel this past year, so I doubt if they'd have any problems releasing Miramax films on disc.

For some goddamn reason Paramount is releasing The Haunting remake as part of their Paramount Presents line.

Probably an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the source material, but it’s a couple years late to the party. It’s a wretched film, so I’m sure it’ll fade back into obscurity soon.

It has already been released on UHD, but the colorized version wasnt included anymore, not even just on the companion BD.

A far superior film deserving of an upgrade.

According to the press release, amongst other extras, the release of Popeye will include "an interview with director Robert Altman from 2014" but no word on who performed the seance.

You think that's impressive, Paramount also resurrected Michael Ritchie to supervise the new restoration of The Golden Child.

Actually, in all seriousness, if they really wanted to go the extra mile, they might as well bring it up if they record anything new with him. Just have him be upfront, yeah it's wrong but in this context in 1983, it never occurred to him and many of his peers that it could be viewed as hurtful. It's probably why it was broadly accepted in mainstream entertainment for the next few decades.
