Also today, our friends at Twilight Time have updated the details on their February slate of Blu-ray titles, which are due on 2/14 (pre-orders open on Wednesday, 2/1, at 1 PM Pacific via Twilight Time Movies and Screen Archives Entertainment). The titles include Joan Micklin Silver’s Chilly Scenes of Winter (1979), Don Giegel’s Edge of Eternity (1959), Woody Allen’s Interiors (1978), and Henry Hathaway’s Kiss of Death (1947). Chilly Scenes of Winter will include an isolated music track, audio commentary with Silver and producer Amy Robinson, and the trailer. Edge of Eternity will include an isolated music track and audio commentary with film historians C. Courtney Joyner and Nick Redman. Interiors will include audio commentary with film historians Julie Kirgo and Nick Redman and the trailer. And Kiss of Death will include an isolated music track, audio commentary with film historians Julie Kirgo and Nick Redman, a second audio commentary with film historians James Ursini and Alain Silver, and the trailer. SRP is $29.95 each and they’re limited to 3,000 units per title. You can see the cover artwork below...
As you can see, we’ve also included the cover artwork for Firestarter and Paramount’s Arrival in 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray.
Finally today, it looks as if Pioneer is soon to introduce the world’s first PC Blu-ray drive that’s compatible with the 4K Ultra HD format, the BDR-S 11 J-X. You can read more here on the Japanese website PC Watch. Best we can translate, the price looks to be around $175-200. It requires your motherboard to support SGX in BIOS and external GPU aren’t useable yet, so this is probably targeted to the corporate and industrial market at this time, not to average consumers. Anyway, here’s what it looks like...
That’s all for now. Stay tuned...
