I have the Blu Ray from 2014 but will probably upgrade to this or the Umbrella release.

Re: Severin Films
Supervixens is an interesting one - does this mean that the Russ Meyer estate's iron grip on his rights and 35mm pre-print materials has finally been broken?

Re: Severin Films
It sounds tenaciously like it. Or at least Severin figured out the cheat code to butter them up as Criterion did Eustache.

Re: Severin Films
Is Faster Pussycat Kill Kill? still with Fox or is that with the estate too?

Re: Severin Films
It never was with Fox. Meyer's estate released it on Blu-ray a few years ago, but that appears to have been a one-off testing-the-water experiment.
Fox's two titles were Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and The Seven Minutes, the latter of which we were sadly unable to upgrade to HD, although God knows we tried, including going via personal contacts with the company. But given what subsequently happened to the Fox catalogue I have no regrets whatsoever about biting the bullet and releasing The Seven Minutes on DVD only.

Re: Severin Films
I posted this in the Russ Meyer thread, so I'll do it here too. Severin's Andrew Furtado tweeted
This is a secret I've had to keep for 5 damn years as we have been working to be the company to access the RM Films vault. Lots of ups and downs... But that's what you want from a Russ Meyer film, right?!
Hopefully, this is just the tit of the iceberg.

Re: Severin Films
I placed a first-time order during the last sale two months ago, and still no sign of it. From reading the thread in the other place I'm impressed by how Severin operates this way consistently, a really impressive show of force against their customers. Criterion could learn a thing or two.

Re: Severin Films
Criterion could indeed learn a thing or two; they could put a clear sale delivery time section on their website for customers to refer to like Severin did. We are still very much within that period. I ordered within the first few days of the sale (6 weeks ago or so) and my order is only being delivered Monday.Black Hat wrote: ↑Fri Sep 06, 2024 7:26 pmI placed a first-time order during the last sale two months ago, and still no sign of it.

When I hit submit I thought my post was a solid double in the gap but, now it has soared over the wall.
