Can anyone share some genera info on this company? Never heard of them. And what does this partnership mean for manta and their releases? 

From Wikipedia (kept the essential parts):

The Gaumont Film Company is a French major film studio. It is the first and oldest film company in the world, 

Gaumont predominantly produces, co-produces, and distributes films. 

Gaumont currently has 938 films in its catalogue, most of which are in French; there are, however, some exceptions, such as Luc Besson's The Fifth Element.

Gaumont produces mostly European films, many of which are French (the company is French)

correct me if what I say is wrong

This is why i'm a bit sceptical about future releases because apart from the Bessons, I don't see what they can plan that will interest a large community of fans worldwide

and as I am personally not a fan of Besson's cinema....

but let's wait and see, maybe there will be some surprises 🤞

I share the same skepticism. Apart from this title and The Fifth Element, which they'll most likely release, I can't really see other titles in Gaumont's catalogue getting the Premium treatment.

Still waiting for Manta to announce more Fincher titles, with Zodiac probably being number one on my most wanted Premium list.

I can only agree with your message mate, Manta would shoot himself in the foot (imo)

zodiac it would really be a nice surprise 

 

[txfosho]

I held out and didn't buy the meh best buy steel for fifth element. This would be great news, but I hope manta still does all the releases it has already promoted too.

La Femme Nikita IS the better movie, so

[Conjuring88]

Like most people this will be a instant buy for me also. One of my favourite films. Mantas line up for this year is going to be hard to pass any of them there all looking great bad times the bank balances

[mjk]

Very excited for this release. I love this movie, really looking forward to get this release. 

[Squeegie McGee]

I hope they release another reno film Wasabi.... that was a really great film too!

Zodiac would be amazing!!!! And I'd take it from any retailer really, preferably UHD Club.  But, I love my 5th Element Kimchidvd - took ages to get it.  But Leon, I will take the OC just because it is a movie that takes me back to childhood immediately and started my life as a milk-drinking hitman

[Casiusco]

As the shared info says, Gaumont is one of the most important majors in the world, and its extensive catalog has films from all periods, including gems, many of them really interesting, but not too many of those that follow the usual Manta Lab editorial line.

And although some could have good options for a collector's edition, they look like more titles of WCL or Plain Archive.  

Still, I'd buy a few if I could.

 

In case anyone is curious, here is the full list, according to IMDB:

 

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?companies=co0172053&view=simple&sort=user_rating,desc

 

In addition, they have immense historical film archives from all eras.

 

By the way, they also have "The Big Blue", if Manta intends to reissue more old-time KimchiDVD titles.

 

Oh, and I fully subscribe to the need for more collector's editions of Fincher films. I love his work. "Zodiac" would be a great release. And even "Mindhunter" seems to me as a very, very underrated TV series.

Oh man!!!!  How awesome would a Mindhunter release be?!?!??

[psychoscot]

Kimchi version is the only one to own. The double slip and gorgeous steel make it to this day a unique and stunning package, one of my top 10 of all-time.

 

Would have preferred to see Luc's latest film ANNA get some special treatment. Highly underrated film "imo"

[Neil21Harris]

Man I’d be 😆 for Anna to get some love - I dig that flick. Have the Steelbook, wish had a good slip to put it in 

[haziqzaq]

Looking forward to this. Wasn't a fan of the design in the one sold on Bestbuy.

French steelbook is truly stunning, only got it recently, but yeah would love to see the film get a proper premium slipped version with a lenticular cover

[Cymon]

Really want this

[Ari]

Leon the professional is one of my favorite films. Let's hope this is coming by the end of 2022

[extantsrevenge]

Since this is my most anticipated Manta Release of the future I'm really glad to see it in this list
