STUDIOCANAL Australia

But I give it, like, four thumbs up.

So it was released by StudioCanal on 4K?

In the UK, and then Kino in the US, but I bought the Kino edition, and when you put the disc in, before the titles come up, a screen comes up all about the restoration, and it was fully done by StudioCanal.

The restoration was done by Canal.

All the work was done by StudioCanal, and then Kino just leased the rights for it.

Cool.

Yeah, I have the StudioCanal one, and can't wait.

[laughs]

to be making a film with a big actor, with a big sort of potential commercial appeal.

I think Studio Canal will put a lot of muscle behind that film.

I've stuffed the Theoresis film, which is the taxidermy musical starring Harry Melling and Jodie Comer, which premiered at TIFF.

I didn't get to see the film.

The Lavender Hill Mob was released.

That's by Studio Canal, but that is definitely a different film.

I believe that one's a comedy.

All right.

And I'm still sad that we didn't get to keep him alive.

Next, another 4K release coming November 16th.

This is a big, fancy release from Studio Canal as part of their Vintage Classics line of The Man Who Fell to Earth 50th Anniversary Edition, the classic David Bowie film from 76.

This is Nicholas Rogue's iconic science fiction odyssey, and it's going to have a 4K disc, two Blu-ray discs, two disc soundtracks.

I think, yeah, we saw that trailer with Jack O'Connell and Guy Pearce.

That must have been at the Studio Canal

presentation, right?

I think so, yeah.

Our Hammer Time discussions are all spoilerific, and we go into plot details and chat about the endings of the films.

So if you'd like to watch The Horror of Frankenstein before you listen to the episode, it's available to stream on Prime Video, Apple TV, and Sky Store, and you can pick it up on gorgeous Blu-ray and 4K discs from StudioCanal.

Uh, just one more note before we start talking about the film.

Uh, a heads-up that next week Kevin and I are doing a special mailbag episode.

Yeah, let's watch this.

We're watching the, I think the version of the 2019 DVD that came out from Studio Canal.

I've

got it on iTunes.

Mine has a few seconds less, but just like maybe eight seconds.

And

I'm paused right before the Studio Canal logo, I

think.

... oh, I think we need to give Manhunter its due.

So then he went off, and StudioCanal seemed to be one of the key, uh, physical media companies that, like, actually-

Mm-hmm

... get his dr- drift, like how they want, how he wants to work, full control of the whole release.

He doesn't know what it is, no.

Oh, that's good.

Well, well, the other thing you can guarantee is that there will be some kinda gigantic StudioCanal set that will exist for that.

My God.
