why will they not release it on DVD
How difficult is it to re-issue a movie on DVD. They do not have to re shoot it. The rights belong to three different companies. But they are companies right? They like to make money don’t they?
They managed to do it for Shogun, Rich Man Poor Man, The Thorn Birds, Roots they all managed to transfer those onto dvd it’s a £1000 transfer re-master on to two or three DVDs. So what’s so hard? You will make a profit! If you only sell 300 you would still make a profit. If you can’t be bothered to do that. Then you can make them iso download files and charge people to download it to make their own DVDs
No distribution costs at all. I simply do not get it. Then these companies get all shirty when people start making their own and doing it themselves. Without the rights..
