Australian label Via Vision Entertainment has informed us that it will add seven new titles to its Blu-ray catalog. They are: The Ark: Seasons One and Two (2023-2024), Martin and Lewis: Film Collection One (1951-1954), Paradise, Hawaiian Style (1966), The Matchmaker (1958), The Salt Path (2024), and Oh, Canada (2024).
The Ark: Seasons One and Two
All 24 episodes from the first two seasons of the exhilarating new Sci-Fi series, The Ark, starring Christie Burke (Twilight: Breaking Dawn), Reece Ritchie (The Outpost) and Richard Fleeshman (Coronation Street).
Created by Dean Devlin, the writer of Independence Day and Stargate, with executive producer Jonathan Glassner, creator of Stargate SG-1.
One hundred years in the future, planetary colonization missions have begun as a necessity to help secure the survival of the human race. The first of these missions on a spacecraft known as Ark One encounters a catastrophic event causing massive destruction and loss of life. With more than a year left to go before reaching their target planet, a lack of life-sustaining supplies and loss of leadership, the remaining crew must become the best versions of themselves to stay on course and survive.
STREET DATE: JULY 16.
Martin and Lewis: Film Collection One
The King of Comedy and the King of Cool, the clown and the crooner, Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin were the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century. Together they brought so much enjoyment for so many generations with their seemingly effortless award-winning formula of comedic talent, singing and acting.
Take a laugh-out-loud trip back to the golden age of Hollywood with six of their greatest side-splitting films, all premiering on Blu-ray for the first time worldwide:
That's My Boy (1951)
Sailor Beware (1952)
Jumping Jacks (1952)
The Caddy (1953)
Living It Up (1954)
Three Ring Circus (1954)

Directed by Michael D. Moore - the prolific second unit director behind many blockbuster hits including Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Cool Runnings
Elvis takes to the skies over the island paradise of Kauai. He's a partner in a helicopter charter service. Romance, naturally, is in the air for the King... but his business may be grounded. A threatened suspension of his pilot's license means he may have to kiss his assets goodbye.

The Matchmaker
Hollywood legends Shirley Booth, Anthony Perkins and Shirley MacLaine star in the hilarious romcom The Matchmaker - based on iconic playwright Thornton Wilder's 1955 play of the same name, which also served as inspiration for the hit Broadway musical Hello, Dolly!
Matchmaker Dolly Levi (Shirley Booth), who is always good at arranging things primarily matrimonial and has now set her sights on the domestic affairs of one Mr. Vandergelder (Paul Ford), a cold-hearted local store owner. The difference this time, however, is that she plans to be the one to marry him!
STREET DATE: JULY 16.
The Salt Path
Gillian Anderson (The X-Files) and Jason Isaacs (The White Lotus) star in this incredible biographical drama, based on the highly acclaimed 2018 memoir by Raynor Winn.
Directed by Tony Award-winning theatre director Marianne Elliott, making her screen directorial debut with this remarkable true story.
Experience the profound true story of husband and wife, Raynor and Moth Winn's 630-mile trek along the beautiful but rugged Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline. After being forcibly removed from their home, they make the desperate decision to walk in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace and a sense of acceptance. With depleted resources, only a tent and some essentials between them, every step along the path is a testament to their growing strength and determination. THE SALT PATH is a journey that is exhilarating, challenging, and liberating in equal measure. A portrayal of home, how it can be lost and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways.
STREET DATE: JULY 16.
Oh, Canada
Richard Gere, Uma Thurman and Jacob Elordi star in the emotional and gripping new indie drama Oh, Canada, from the acclaimed writer of Taxi Driver, Paul Schrader.
Fiery but feeling his years and his illness, ailing filmmaker Leonard Fife (Richard Gere) wants to tell his life story, unfiltered, before it's too late. As the director of lauded documentary exposés, he has much to be proud of, but his avoidance of the Vietnam War draft and his past relationships harbor thorny truths. Finally choosing to reveal the truth and lies in his life and career, Leonard sits for an extended filmed interview with his former student Malcolm (Michael Imperioli), charging ahead with candid stories about his younger self (Jacob Elordi) in the fractious 1960s and beyond. At Leonard's insistence, his wife and indispensable partner, Emma (Uma Thurman), hears it all. Leonard's successes are held up against his failings - the fibs held up against the facts - and as the man in full is cleansed of the myth, Leonard must confront what is left.
