This is a quote from a post made yesteday on The Classic Horror Film Board:
"Someone on the HTF noticed that a bunch of Paramount titles now have "Olive Films" listed as the DVD distributor on the IMDB--see list below. Among the films were the anthology TALES THAT WITNESS MADNESS, William Castle's PROJECT X and Castle's final film as a director, SHANKS. (Also THE SPIRIT IS WILLING, but didn't that come out already?) So far as I know, nothing has been confirmed by Olive, so take this with a grain of salt."
