Don't know if that will include CASTLE FALLS or OPERATION SEAWOLF (both supposedly sold to Shout! Factory in the US) but that's interesting:

Interview with the film's digital colorist.

He’s also working with Buffalo8 (https://buffalo8.com) on a number of their independent features, including Castle Falls, which was directed by and stars Dolph Lundgren.

“He was super specific,” says Osborne of Lundgren’s vision, noting that he wanted to stay away from the look of modern digital cinema cameras and instead make the feature look like it could have been shot in the late ‘70s or early ‘80s.

CASTLE FALLS



Director: Dolph Lundgren

Cast: Dolph Lundgren, Scott Adkins

Genre: Action/Adventure

Three million dollars are hidden in a luxurious condominium known as The Castle. Two vicious rival gangs led by Deacon and Shea (Lundgren), are after the hidden cash but before they can retrieve it, the building’s janitor Mike (Adkins) stumbles upon it. The three groups are battling for the prize but are all under a ticking time bomb, as the building is strapped with dynamite to be demolished by the city. The three groups have 8 hours to retrieve the cash and get out alive.

Updated plot summary:

After decades of neglect, Castle Heights Hospital, this symbol of the city's segregated past has been packed with dynamite and is ready to be demolished. No one knows that a gang leader, now in prison, hid the 3 million dollars in cash he stole from his rivals inside the abandoned building. Now, three desperate parties want the money - a blue collared ex-fighter (Adkins) who finds it while working as part of the demolition crew, a prison guard (Lundgren) willing to do anything to pay for his daughter's cancer treatment and a ruthless gang who claim to be the rightful owners. The demolition charges are set, everyone clears out and the Castle is set to fall in 90 minutes. The clock is ticking. Who will find the cash and: will they get out alive?

I can't wait to see the Trailer ... Why does it take so long to come out?

So how long is this movie 87 or 90 minutes long ?

Found this demo reel on Kim DeLonghi's IMDb page and the first 2 minutes are from Castle Falls! It was posted on bilibili already about 6 months ago so it's been there for a while and we all missed it . https://www.imdb.com/video/vi1524875289

I caught it before but I'd suggest not to watch it for possible spoilers and because I don't think the clips come from the final color-graded and sound-mixed version or are even in the correct aspect ratio...

Let's just wait for the trailer(s) which should made public fairly soon at this point.

are even in the correct aspect ratio

when i read that, I understand 2:35, and i'm happy.

[Jox]

Yeah, I just hope on this one VMI didn't interfere like they previously did on BLOOD OF REDEMPTION and WAR PIGS, both framed for 2.35:1 but mastered and released in 1.78:1 instead...

Yeah it's definitely not the final product (at least I hope it's not because this is very rough footage). I probably should've mentioned that there is a spoiler in there... my bad. Altho a trailer is probably coming soon I figure I'd share it for those that are interested in it/can't wait for a proper trailer.

Thanks for linking! I don't think the spoiler is really that bad... I actually appreciate the fact that they've given us a female villain who looks like she has a lot to really bite into (love the scar). But yeah, rough footage that I assume will be fixed. Also kinda cool in that it gives us an idea of what these films look like in the editing stages prior to sound mixing, color grading, etc.
