Phenomenal news. Olive is doing a terrific job with these neglected Paramount titles. I really hope Deadhead Miles is on the docket, too

Joseph McBride revealed on Facebook that Olive is reissuing Welles' Macbeth on Blu-ray in a deluxe set that will include both versions. Extras are still being determined, but McBride confirms recording a commentary track for the release and Jonathan Rosenbaum notes in the same Facebook feed that he is writing an essay. I assume sales of the first Blu-ray have done well for Olive.

Saved! is coming to Blu in August, which is the good news. So is Kramer's the Pride and the Passion though

Tell Me That You Love, Junie Moon added to the August slate.

About damn time. One of Preminger's most unjustly neglected films

Posted: **Fri May 27, 2016 5:54 pm**

It's great news, especially since there are no circulating copies in the right aspect ratio

Has Olive acquired Gordon Parks' Leadbelly? It seems like the exact kind of film they'd put out, especially given its ownership.

DeMille's 1915 film the Captive will be coming to Blu-ray in September, alongside a lot of junk (Commando Cody: Sky Marshal of the Universe, the Horrible Dr. Hichcock, Jekyll and Hyde Together Again, Mankillers, the Monster of Piedras Blancas, Yours Mine and Ours). There is not even a circulating copy of this one floating around back channels, so quite an exciting announcement!

Posted: **Tue Jun 28, 2016 5:46 pm**

The Horrible Dr. Hichcock is actually quite fun, though obviously not the major release of the DeMille.

Posted: **Tue Jun 28, 2016 8:00 pm**

I'd be interesting to see Blanche Sweet in an early feature, after seeing her often in Griffith's Biograph shorts, but not being particularly a fan of the DeMille/MacPherson silents it's difficult to justify a blind buy of this. It would've been nice if, like other labels such as Kino and Image used to do, they could've included another DeMille silent (if any have been similarly mastered and scored) but fortunately, for a film that's all of 50 minutes, Olive lowered their usual SRP to $24.95 for the Blu.

It's generally regarded as one of the best Italian horror films of all time, so I think a lot of people would disagree with Domino dismissing it as "junk."

Per DVD Drive-in, The Horrible Dr. Hichcock will be edited 77-Minute American Version.

Gah! When--if ever--are they gonna get to Outrage?

Pro-B at the blu-ray.com forum has hinted at a new licensing deal for Olive. His exact post was "VERY BIG NEWS coming up soon

"

Posted: **Fri Jul 08, 2016 7:37 pm**

It's a new label, Olive Signature. First (re)releases are High Noon and Johnny Guitar

Posted: **Fri Jul 08, 2016 7:40 pm**

Anything special about these versus a regular release?

Posted: **Fri Jul 08, 2016 7:41 pm**

Yes, actually!

High Noon
Mastered from new 4K restoration
“A Ticking Clock” - Academy Award-nominee Mark Goldblatt on the editing of High Noon
"A Stanley Kramer Production" - Michael Schlesinger on the eminent producer of High Noon
“Imitation of Life: The Blacklist History of High Noon” - with historian Larry Ceplair and blacklisted screenwriter Walter Bernstein
“Ulcers and Oscars: The Production History of High Noon” - a visual essay with rarely seen archival elements, narrated by Anton Yelchin

Theatrical Trailer

Johnny Guitar is now 1.66 by the way, so may be worth holding onto the first release too if you want both ARs

Posted: **Fri Jul 08, 2016 7:48 pm**

Ooooooh. This is pretty awesome. Welles' MacBeth is probably part of this. BTW....The street date for the two are September 20th.

Posted: **Fri Jul 08, 2016 7:52 pm**

Great news about Johnny Guitar. Also great to see certain Olive titles sold well enough to justify re-release.

Posted: **Fri Jul 08, 2016 7:53 pm**

Super, just add subs and this is some of the best news to come out of American labels this year.

Posted: **Fri Jul 08, 2016 7:54 pm**

Subs are present on both. Covers:

I likey.

I wonder what else may join their Signature series. I, personally would love to see Force of Evil be one of the titles.

Posted: **Fri Jul 08, 2016 8:02 pm**

MSRP is Criterionized at $39.99 but Olive releases are virtually always available for half-off or more by release day on Amazon

Posted: **Fri Jul 08, 2016 8:16 pm**

Of course the real question now is whether competing MOC editions get released, which I imagine is very likely for Johnny Guitar.
