Allegiance DVD

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows when the Allegiance DVD box set is going to be released? I signed up for the email when it becomes available, but I haven't heard anything and I'm getting kind of nervous. I hope it's released so people can buy it and get it before Christmas... :)



EDIT: I emailed and asked when it will be released, and they said they "hit several design and manufacturing delays". They are trying to make it so people can pre-order in January.

The website also has a phone number and email address people can use to contact them, so... if you really wanted to know, that would seem the easiest option.

TaleofTwo said: "Their answer is "coming soon". They're trying to milk this thing in movie theaters every couple of months, which i'm sure delays the release of home distribution. Honestly, I think they lost all momentum by now, another bad decision by this producing group.

I hope they'll at least release their 'Bandstand' in time."

I don't think there is any overlap between Allegiance and Bandstand on the creative side?

TaleofTwo said: "Same producers for the two films I believe. "Sing out, Louise!" Productions"

Hmm, I never saw Sing Out Louise attached to Bandstand in any way? I don't think they were involved in the stage version, though.

Hmm, interesting. I wonder how they went from being not involved in the stage show to running point on the broadcast...

Sent 'em an email and I got this:

"Unfortunately, we are encountering delays due to the manufacturer. At this point we know we are very close (all the designs and content is finished) but it really depends on them. We have waited taking anyone’s money and pre-orders for exactly this reason, but we will update everyone as soon as possible. Rest assured that it will be available before we even consider bringing the film back to theaters as it’s currently our highest priority."

It’s really odd that this still hasn’t been released. I’m going to send an email and inquire further.

Recent fun fact: George Takei did an interview with The Guardian in which he said his most expensive purchase was what he put into Allegiance.

The Allegiance producers forgot all about this when they started working on their new major project, Hadestown. I can understand them not wanting to waste time producing a DVD, but why not just release this on BroadwayHD etc?

Since they cited a manufacturing issue, I have to imagine the delay is caused by something taking longer than expected for the box set. There could be issues with the replica props. There could be issues with a unique/uncommon design element in the coffee table book. It could even be unit cartons or packing material. I doubt they would specify delays due to a manufacturer over licensing/rights issues.

$170 for DVD?

Why not blu-ray?!?!?

Wasn't it originally advertised (way back when) as a blu-ray/dvd release? Is there seriously not a blu-ray disc included for this price????
