Yeah, I pre-ordered a few things from there that won’t ship until September. I both like and hate that they charge your credit card at the time of sale regardless of whether it’s a pre-order five months away. You also cannot cancel an order there, I don’t think. Still, they are a nice small outfit that services a niche crowd. They remind me a little bit of John here at MP!

I'm uncomparable LOL

 

Take care

THE WORLDWIDE UHD PREMIERE
RESTORED FROM THE ORIGINAL NEGATIVE
WITH 5+ HOURS OF SPECIAL FEATURES
INCLUDING THE DOCUMENTARY DRÁCULA BARCELONA
PLUS BRUNO NICOLAI SOUNDTRACK CD AND MORE

In early 2023, a Madrid film archivist made a startling discovery: the uncut camera negative of COUNT DRACULA, in pristine condition and untouched for over 50 years. This gothic masterpiece from writer/director Jess Franco can now be experienced like never before, from its brilliant performances by Christopher Lee as the Count, Herbert Lom as Van Helsing, Soledad Miranda as Lucy, Maria Rohm as Mina and Klaus Kinski as Renfield to its sumptuously unnerving cinematography and eerie Bruno Nicolai score. 

COUNT DRACULA is newly scanned in 4K with over five total hours of Special Features, including the U.S. Premiere of Carles Prats’ 2017 documentary DRÁCULA BARCELONA, which chronicles the simultaneous filming of CUADECUC VAMPIR by Pere Portabella and Franco’s horror classic.

SPECS:

• 1970 / 97 mins / 1.37:1
• Restored from the Original Negative
• 4K UHD: HDR10
• English Mono, Spanish Mono (TBC)
• Closed Captions

SPECIAL FEATURES:

Disc 2: Blu-ray (Feature + Special Features)

Exciting announcement from Criterion.
Coming January 16 in 4K UHD and blu-ray:

 

Lone Star (1996) directed by John Sayles

 

Quote

A keen observer of America’s social fabric, writer-director John Sayles
uncovers the haunted past buried beneath a small Texas border town in this 
sprawling neowestern mystery. When a skeleton is discovered in the desert, 
lawman Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper), son of a legendary local sheriff, begins an
investigation that will have profound implications both for him personally and 
for all of Rio County, a place still reckoning with its history of racial violence. 
Sayles’s masterful film—novelistic in its intricacy and featuring a brilliant 
ensemble cast, including Joe Morton, Elizabeth Peña, and Kris Kristofferson
— quietly subverts national mythmaking and lays bare the fault lines of 
life at the border.

+ New 4K digital restoration, supervised by director John Sayles and director 
of photography Stuart Dryburgh
+ 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack  
+ One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray
with the film and special features  
+New conversation between Sayles and filmmaker Gregory Nava  
+New interview with Dryburgh  
+Trailer  
+English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing 
+PLUS: An essay by scholar Domino Renee Perez
- New cover by Jacob Phillips

So that's the Excalibur sword.  Wonder what the other movies will be announced 

[Heywoodmoutaw]

For folks like me who were interested: for whatever reason, the Lone Star, Blood Simple and Trainspotting pre-orders appear to be cheaper at the Amazon Criterion sale than at B&N.  $15 in Lone Star’s case.  Let me know if that’s just something weird that I’m seeing (maybe because I’m Prime but not a B&N member?)

It's a shame True Lies is really getting shafted on the special features. All these others, there's like an entire page of features that will be spanning multiple discs. Get to True Lies and it's like...ennnhhh, a trailer, maybe, we'll see. 🤣

The Paramount Scares Vol. 1 4K Collection is $92.07 with a coupon for an additional 15%-off on Amazon, making it $78.26 before tax -- the lowest price by far. 

 

Comes with: 

 

· Rosemary's Baby (1968)

· Pet Sematary (1989)

· Smile (2022)

· Crawl (2019)

· Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)

 

Along with other collectable stuff, too. I have read all over that the Sweeney Todd transfer is insanely good, and it happens to be my favorite musical film, so I finally snagged this set.
