New World Pictures: Difference between revisions

New World Pictures was founded by B-movie legend Roger Corman in 1970. However, they didn't use an on-screen logo until 1976. In recent years, Roger Corman has been reissuing parts of the pre-1984 New World library on VHS and DVD on his own [[Concorde Films|New Concorde Home Video]] label (Corman left New World in 1984). Shout! Factory has been re-releasing and releasing films previously unreleased on DVD for pre-1984 New World films, but some have also seen releases from Scorpion Releasing and Code Red, under license from Corman himself. The 1970-1983 films except ''Battle Beyond the Stars'' (co-produced with and released through [[Orion Pictures|Orion]]) were licensed to [[Viacom (pre-2006)|Viacom Enterprises]] (now "[[CBS Television Distribution]]") for TV distribution. The syndie rights to the pre-1984 titles are now owned by [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] and licensed to [[Trifecta Entertainment and Media]]. The rights to most of the New World Pictures library, post-1984, are held by [[Lakeshore Entertainment]], while Image Entertainment (previously Anchor Bay Entertainment) holds the home video rights; however, Kino Lorber, Code Red, and Arrow Video USA have also released some post-1984 New World films on home video. The USA rights to ''Nausicaä Of The Vally Of The Wind'' (a anime movie they brought to make a infamous English dub out of) now belong to GKIDS.

'''Availability:''' Common. Currently seen on [[Anchor Bay Entertainment]], [[Image Entertainment]] and possibly [[Arrow Home Entertainemnt|Arrow Video USA]], Kino Lorber and Code Red DVD & Blu-ray releases of New World Pictures material. However, original [[New World Video]] VHS releases replaced this with the Home Video logo, so there is no chance of finding it there. However, it has been sighted on the [[Thorn EMI Video (UK)|Thorn EMI Video]] release of ''The Philadelphia Experiment'', as well as VHS copies of ''C.H.U.D.'', ''Hellgate'', ''Children of the Corn'', ''The Applegates'', and ''City of Blood'', along with [[Malofilm Video (Canada)|Malofilm]] releases of ''Midnight Fear'', ''Hide and Go Shriek'' and ''Frankenstein General Hospital'', and a Canadian [[Cineplex Odeon Video (Canada)]]/[[Universal Studios Home Entertainment|MCA]] VHS of ''Making Contact'' (AKA: ''Joey''). This is sometimes plastered by the [[Trans Atlantic Entertainment]] or [[Lakeshore Entertainment|Lakeshore International]] logo on older TV prints or international releases. The New World International logo can be found on ''Checkered Flag''. It is unknown if it was seen on theatrical prints of ''Pin'' or ''Warriors Of The Wind''. This is intact on the 2011 Australian Umbrella Entertainment DVD release of ''Heathers''.
