Roar (1981)
i watched this last weekend and it was a trip. when i originally saw the trailer i refused to believe that was really tippi hedren and melanie griffith in the film- but it was. absolutely unbelievable that this was produced. it's like the most dangerous jackass experiment mixed with swiss family robinson and 100 wild animals.

olive films and drafthouse really did a bangup job with the transfer as the film now looks gorgeous

Funny...that's the second film called She Devil that Olive has released!

This was the best news my childhood self could have read this morning when I first saw that it was announced! Josh Brolin, Robert Rusler, Bones Brigade skaters, Per Welinder, Red Hot Chili Peppers performing Blackeyed Blonde, and Meatloaf's title song are all ingredients for a successful trip down memory lane that I like to frequent quite often.

If this is true my already lousy weekend just was officially ruined. Phase IV deserves better than Olive. I don't know who can do it better justice, but at least not a barebones. Might as well give it to StudioCanal!

If they can restore the original cut, or at least the original ending, I'll be happy with Olive releasing it.

I have my fingers crossed that MoC will release it in the UK. I'd love Bass' short films to be included, along with the original ending, and I have little faith in Olive to deliver on that account but here's hoping.

My guess, though I'd love to be wrong, is that BABY IT'S YOU will retain the "rescored for home video" soundtrack that existed on the Legend DVD and previous Paramount home video iterations.

Posted on blu-ray.com:
Hey there. I wrote The Moving Image article but honestly have no idea what Olive Films has planned. When I heard they had licensed the film for Blu-ray, I reached out to them, alerting them to the other available outtake material, and asked if I could mention in the article that they were working on it. They said yes, and that they would be in touch, but have been unresponsive since then. I expect they will merely add the montage ending as a bonus, or incorporate it into the theatrical cut (which would not represent a true version of the film). This would be the easiest thing for them, as the work has already been done by the Academy in cooperation with Paramount, and reinstating the preview version would require a lot more than what Olive is willing/can afford to do. But like I said, they don't return my emails anymore, so maybe they'll surprise us!

Student Bodies is one of the Paramount titles that Legend Films released on Blu-ray, so is this just a reissue? It would be hilarious if Student Bodies gets not one but two Blu-ray transfers!

Olive is really testing my love for the Mannequin movies by not pairing them together for their upgrades
