Savant's new reviews today are
A couple of pieces of notable news so far this week - I'm in the middle of Criterion's Kagemusha disc at the moment, and waiting to see the new Mysterians disc.
Two rather positive announcements come from The Digital Bits: June 14 has announced as the release date for Paramount's Danger: Diabolik DVD, with commentary, featurette, music video (?), teaser and theatrical trailer. This film was originally scheduled for last year, but Paramount took an unusual step and held off long enough to create special edition extras. Hopefully the disc will be fantastic. Savant's older (1999) piece on the ultimate Mario Bava color-fest can be seen Here ... it's a discussion of the film, not a review of the new disc.
Even more interesting , and hopefully not a rumor, is the word from The Digital Bits that the reason for the delay behind Universal's new release of Dune is because David Lynch has decided to become involved and help create a new extended cut. This comes is a shock because Lynch has vowed for years never to get involved with Dune again. That could be terrific news, and I hope it is true . . . Thanks, Glenn Erickson
