Men Behind the Sun (Massacre Video)

Panorama are releasing a blu of this in HK on Friday. I don't know if it's from the same scan or if it's a shitty upscale. They had been doing quite well with proper HD releases, but supposedly some of their recent stuff have been upscales.

My gut feeling is that it will be proper full HD

From the MV Facebook page:

"We have received many emails/messages about our upcoming MEN BEHIND THE SUN restoration, specifically if we will be sharing the same master that was on the recent German and HK Blu-ray's. The answer is NO, we received the raw 4k scan files from the lab and have been working on our unique restoration of the film. We are doing new stabilization, restoration and color correction all mastered and finished in 4k. The aforementioned scan was finished at a HK lab and finished in HD."

I think it's cool that they finally corrected the title to what the director intended: MAN (as in mankind) BEHIND THE SUN, and not just a couple MEN.

Looks like we've got the whole trilogy coming our way. Lucky us.

Oh wow. I saw they announced they were working on 2 other Cat III films so I guess this'd be those titles.

Is the first one no longer getting released on UHD?

Anyone know whe they're NOT releasing the 4th one as well?

Will these be 4K or regular blu rays?

I'd assume it's a rights issue. It might still be with Unearthed Films? I'd welcome a Blu-ray, I think it's the best of the four movies.

I don't see a UHD logo on any of those.

As of yesterday a bunch of people on their FB page had asked, but I haven't seen a reply yet. Hoping they didn't can the UHD. I'll still take a nice Blu-ray, of course, but UHD for the first film would be pretty bad ass.

I've got the HK blus of Laboratory and Narrow Escape. Lab has tape quality inserts for all the nasty stuff. I don't know if Massacre will be using the same transfers, but they're adequate. I won't be double dipping, but I will get the first one as I held off the HK version because Massacre said it would be a UHD.

No idea what 'soon' means but they put this out there yesterday. Also, looks like BD only, no UHD.
