Castle Rock Entertainment: Difference between revisions

'''Availability''': Common. It usually can be seen on Castle Rock releases from 1989 to 1994. However, this logo goes though editing on ''City Slickers'' on television. On Bravo, it's replaced with the 1994 logo (with the AOL Time Warner byline) and current home media releases, on Comedy Central, there is an edited version of the 1988 Columbia Pictures logo and the 1994 logo. On the 2001 MGM DVD release of said movie, it's replaced with the MGM logo. But on some current prints of films, this is either plastered with the MGM logo (on home media releases such as the DVD releases of ''City Slickers'', ''Sibling Rivalry'', ''Mr. Saturday Night'' and ''Honeymoon in Vegas'') or replaced with the next logo (on television). Some prints on TNT and TBS have the original logo with the Columbia Pictures logos. On Starz and Encore airings of ''City Slickers 2'', it has the logo intact but is preceded by the 1998 Warner Bros. Pictures logo with the AOL Time Warner byline (since the logo plastered the Columbia Pictures logo). This logo is preserved on Nelson Entertainment and [[New Line Home Entertainment|New Line Home Video]] (distributed by [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment|Columbia TriStar Home Video]]) VHS releases of pre-1994 films. The logo is preserved on VHS releases by [[MGM Home Entertainment|MGM/UA Home Vide]]<nowiki/>o and [[PolyGram Video (UK)|PolyGram Video]] (along with possibly early DVD releases by the company). It is also preserved on the Columbia Pictures-owned ''A Few Good Men'', ''In the Line of Fire'' and ''North''. Can also be found on the [[Olive Films]] Blu-Ray release of ''Sibling Rivalry'' (alongside the original Columbia logo, all preceded by the 2001 MGM lion). Other films that have this logo include ''When Harry Met Sally...'', ''Lord of the Flies'', ''Sibling Rivalry'', ''Misery'', ''Late for Dinner'', ''Year of the Comet'', ''Honeymoon in Vegas'', ''Mr. Saturday Night'', ''Amos and Andrew'', ''Needful Things'', ''Malice'', ''City Slickers 2: The Legend of Curly's Gold'', ''Little Big League'' and ''Barcelona''.  Strangely, it appeared on a 1998 airing of ''The Shawshank Redemption'' on WIN Television in Australia, preceded by the 1992 [[Roadshow Television]] logo, with the transition effect. It's possible that this logo was used on the original 1994 theatrical run of said film and the next logo appeared when it was re-released in early 1995 during the Oscar season. Don't expect to see this on ''The Spirit of '76''; although Castle Rock owns the copyright (alongside Black Diamond Productions), it just has the [[Commercial Pictures]] logo.

'''Availability''': Common on almost every Castle Rock film since ''The Shawshank Redemption''.The early Turner variant is rare and it appears on the original Columbia TriStar Home Video VHS releases of ''The Shawshank Redemption'', ''Before Sunrise'' and ''Forget Paris''. It was also seen on the [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|Warner Home Video]] release of ''The Shawshank Redemption''. The second Turner logo is slightly more common and appears on ''The American President'', ''Dracula: Dead and Loving It'', ''City Hall'', ''Alaska'' and ''Striptease''. The bylineless version is seen on ''Waiting for Guffman'', ''Ghost of Mississippi'' and ''Absolute Power''. It also appeared on the ''Hamlet'' game for Windows. The first Time Warner byline is seen on ''Zero Effect'', ''My Giant'', ''Mickey Blue Eyes'', ''Bait'', ''Best in Show'' and ''Miss Congeniality''. It also appeared on the original release of ''The Last Days of Disco'' and on the original video releases, but current prints replace it and the [[Gramercy Pictures]] logo with the [[Focus Features]] logo (even the last part of the logo theme that goes into the credits is muted out). The AOL Time Warner logo is seen on ''Hearts in Atlantis'', ''The Majestic'', ''The Salton Sea'', ''Two Weeks Notice'', ''The Adventures of Pluto Nash'', ''Murder by Numbers'', ''Kangaroo Jack'' and ''Envy'' (despite all Time Warner companies using the Time Warner byline at this point. Possibly had it due to being a delayed release). The second Time Warner byline is seen on almost all 2004-2018 films from the studio from ''Before Sunset'' to ''Shock and Awe'', and sometimes plasters the previous and older-bylined logos on newer prints. The international version is rare and appeared on some older films worldwide, newer releases plaster it with newer New Line Cinema or Warner Bros. Pictures logos. Can be found on the 2000 Warner Home Video NTSC DVD release of ''Absolute Power''. Don't expect to see this on ''Friends with Benefits''.
