I am not sure about this, but I think it’s a UK company that owns the movie so it’s probably cheaper to put it streaming in the UK. And if it makes enough sales it would then publish/stream it in the US.
… but anyway all I can say is I awoke this morning and noticed the message ‘Slipstream HD and widescreen’ all in the same sentence and still thought I was dreaming!!!
I know! It IS pretty cool! Who’d have thought Slipstream would see some love like this. Yes, I think if the numbers/sales/streams of it are good in the UK, it will lead to other countries and other formats. There are SO many repeated clickbait internet articles of how physical media is dead. I see far too much evidence to the contrary. Maybe the big movie studios are wanting to bail on physical media, but there are great 4K/Blu-Ray “niche” labels out there. Arrow, Vinegar Syndrome, Cauldron, Terror Vision, Synapse, Blue Underground, Kino Lorber could put out a nice Slipstream 4K/Blu. I see all of those labels releasing WAY more weird and/or obscure titles all the time, so I never say never.
