Grady Hendrix over at Kaiju Shakedown has got an exclusive interview with the man you see above shmoozing with Ivana Trump and Denise Rich. Who is he? He's Vincent "Vin" Roberti, the President and CEO of Palisades Media, the company that thankfully bought up the now defunct Tartan UK and USA DVD catalogue. In the interview Roberti confirms that it was financial troubles that sunk the distributor of such titles as "The Hidden Blade", "Tetsuo the Iron Man" and "Doppelganger". I say that Roberti may be saving the Tartan catalogue because the debts to creditors that Tartan owed were huge and Roberti seems like a bottom line kind of businessman. Although he states the opposite in the interview I hope to god that he just doesn't start selling off the rights to titles just to make up for his losses. Only time will tell...
