Also today, a quick update on that Australian The War of the Worlds (1953) Blu-ray we mentioned yesterday. It’s actually Via Vision Entertainment releasing the title on a new label called Imprint (and you can read more here). And The War of the Worlds (due on 5/27) is not to only title in their debut line-up. Also coming are I Married a Monster from Outer Space (1958), Sorry, Wrong Number (1949), Ridley Scott’s The Duellists (1977), and Sergei Bondarchuk’s Waterloo (1970). And man, those last two have me VERY excited. The Duellists has been out of print for a while now and Waterloo is essentially Bondarchuk’s sequel to War and Peace. All are due on 5/27. They’re likely region locked, but if you have all-region playback capability, they should be worth the effort.

And Kino Lorber has announced their April Blu-ray and DVD slate, which is set to include Erik Nelson’s documentary The Color Blue (BD and DVD), Arnold Fanck’s The Great Leap (1927) (BD and DVD), Alison Reid’s The Woman Who Loves Giraffes (2019) (BD and DVD), Alex Gibney’s Citizen K (2019) (DVD), and Roger Spottiswoode’s Terror Train (1980) (BD) on 4/7, Nicola Alice Hens’ documentary Chichinette: The Accidental Spy (DVD), Paul Wegener’s The Golem (1920) (BD and DVD), Jean van de Velde’s An Act of Defiance (2017) (BD and DVD), and Frank Q. Dobbs’ Uphill All the Way (1986) (BD and DVD) on 4/14, G.W. Pabst’s The Love of Jeanne Ney (1927) (BD and DVD) and Éva Gárdos’ Budapest Noir (2017) (BD and DVD) on 4/21, and Jia Zhangke’s documentary I Wish I Knew (BD and DVD), F.W. Murnau’s Tartuffle (1925) (BD and DVD), and Astrid Schult’s Winter Hunt (2017) (DVD) on 4/28.

And that’s all for now. Stay tuned...
