Meanwhile today, Kino Lorber Studio Classics has set Alan Smithee’s Fade-In (1968) for Blu-ray release on 1/14. Note that the film was actually directed by Jud Taylor, but it became the first film ever to be credited to the fictional Smithee.
Disney and 20th Century Studios have revealed that Fede Álvarez’s Alien: Romulus (2024) will make its streaming debut on Hulu on 11/21.
And Lionsgate has set Alexandre Aja’s Never Let Go (2024) for Blu-ray and DVD release on 12/3.
Finally today, Variety is reporting that Lucasfilm has tapped writer/producer Simon Kinberg to develop a new Star Wars trilogy of films set after the recent sequels. You can read more on that here.
That’s all for now. Stay tuned...
