Let's Petition BLUE UNDERGROUND !!!!!


Friends, I too loved "The Legend of The Lone Ranger", and it's NOT a guilty pleasure. I'll tell anyone how much I was thrilled by this movie. It was released toward the end of my freshman year in high-school (say April or May of '81), and it is without a doubt, my favorite western. I've just now in January of '09 seen that there is a DVD release which I obviously will never waste my time or money to buy or rent. I just cant put up with a crap release. So... what do we do? Has anyone here ever heard of BLUE UNDERGROUND? This is the company that gets the rights to and releases DEFINITIVE edtions of movies that no one else has the guts to gamble on releasing. They are the comany that FINALLY put out "The Final Countdown" a few years ago. Now, I've got a NEW edition of "The Final Countdown" enroute to me from AMAZON. It's a brand new FULLHD 1080 WIDE-SCREEN BLU-RAY edition !!!!!! Yes, Blue Underground has gone BLU-RAY !!!!! I say we all write to Blue Underground and implore them to do "The Legend of the Lone Ranger". I'd like it on Blu-Ray... but you never know... if they do it, they
might do both BR & DVD. Maybe even in the same package. Their URL is: www.blue-underground.com ... in case that does not come across properly, DO make sure you include the hyphen between BLUE and UNDERGROUND. I'm writing them now. Later, friends.... and... HI-YO, SILVER !!!!!! AWAY !!!!!!!!

Friends, Here is the reply I received from Blue Underground concerning my request
that they "seriously consider" a release of "The Legend of the Lone Ranger".
Short, sweet, and to the point:
Hello Charles,

Thanks for your email. Unfortunately Blue Underground does not own the rights to release THE LEGEND OF THE LONE RANGER. Lionsgate owns the rights to this movie, hence their recent DVD release. It is unlikely they would relinquish the rights to another DVD company.

I have the e-mail address to send your requests to Lionsgate. It's

I told them why I would NOT be buying their sub-standard release, and implored
them to either give it a deluxe edition treatment, or give it to Blue Underground. Will add in again if and when I get a response.
