Here’s a nice surprise: a new boutique label called Bitratio Video is releasing a restored Blu-ray of Edwin S. Porter’s The Great Train Robbery (1903), which is a short silent film produced by the Edison Manufacturing Company. It’s neither the first Western film, nor the first narrative film, though it’s still a significant piece of history—an early effort to marry film spectacle with American Western mythology, via tropes that later became iconic: horseback chases, gunfights, etc. The disc is reportedly coming in Q4 2025, and is “digitally remastered by Cineaste Restoration from an archival 35mm provided by the Library of Congress” with an all-new musical score composed by Manuel Morais. Additional extras will be included as well. The release will be limited to 2K copies. You can learn more here.
