Duke's Movies- Blu-Ray/DVD Releases

[RoughRider]

As mentioned in a previous post some time ago, London-based Hollywood Classics Ltd. has licensed some Blu-rays to European labels, notably Soul Media which had the Blu-ray debuts of The Barbarian and the Geisha and McLintock! Soul Media also has titles never released on Blu-ray anywhere, including Hellfighters and North to Alaska (licensed from Hollywood Classics).

The library of Hollywood Classics is rather small, but they do have rights to a few other John Wayne titles such as The Alamo, Brannigan, Pittsburgh, Allegheny Uprising and -- this is the interesting one -- Sea Spoilers, which of course has never been released on home video.

So there's always the chance that Soul Media will release Sea Spoilers. It doesn't have to be on Blu-ray -- I would be content with the DVD!

It wouldn't hurt for people on this board to send Soul Media an e-mail asking for the film to be released.

If they did release the film on DVD, however, it would most likely be in PAL/Region 2 format.

Hopefully we get a Hondo 3-D release this year.

Can anyone help please, who has the distribution rights for The Quiet Man, in the UK. I have attempted to contact Universal directly but they never reply. The recent Olive release was Region A only, so am hoping we will get a release, this side of the Atlantic at some point. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I would suggest investing in a region free Blu-ray player, as these sort of things happens a lot (a movie being released in one part of the world and not where you live).

I like Soul Media for releasing hard-to-find movies, but unfortunately their releases aren't that exciting in the special features department since there rarely are any.

Thank you for that I may well have to invest in a Region free player. On a happier note it would appear that " The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" is to be released in the UK on Blu ray, with a US release at some point. I also hear although cannot confirm yet, that " El Dorado" and "The Sons of Katie Elder" may be released on Blu ray in the USA, this year. This might be worth me confirming with my contact at Paramount, but I am hopeful.

Just saw a post on Home Theater Forum that The War Wagon and Rooster Cogburn will be released on Blu-ray in Germany on May 8. Hope that means a U.S. release is on the way too.

Don't know if this was posted already, but I was scoping out Amazon and the westerns they offer on Blu-ray and noticed that Dukes, Dark Command will be released on Blu-ray on May 28th.
