I have gone into this before in other threads but the situation is most probably still that these 4 Bronston productions belong under the same ownership, not with the Weinstein company or a successor by the way: El Cid 55 Days at Peking The Fall of the Roman Empire Circus World The reason we...

It certainly won't hurt and it is nice to see The Searchers back in theaters. Maybe even in a decent 4K capable movie theater where you could attend.

I fully agree and great that you bring it up again but I would be less modest in one regard: If properly done it would not just look good but fantastic. Even with just 80% of the negative blown up to standard 70mm it was one of the most detailed 70mm presentations that I have seen and finally...

I would be very careful with the assumption that grain rendering will be improved.

Why would I include titles that have a very good chance of getting released anyway and at a lower price? That would be more of a "guess what is coming out next and worth paying more than the asking price" thread. For example I love The Searchers but it will soon get a regular release and...

With what I have sunk into this hobby in terms of hardware those 1000$ for 20 movies that I really want would be perfectly OK for me. Sometimes we tend to forget that we buy the hardware to enjoy the software and not the other way around.

First off, I assume these would be on a shiny disc, with that being said I can think of a number of titles where 50$ would be OK and given inflation and price increases elsewhere 50$ today is probably not much more than 25$ for a DVD when those were introduced to the market. First off, I would...

Just pointing out that it was covered in some detail in that link. Also there sadly seems to be little of that luxury afforded to productions that do not happen to belong to one of the major studios as some of the Cinerama and Bronston movies show. This seems to be even more true in Europe...

Agreed on digital only not being safe at all but did you read the interview I linked to? They speak about the film-based assets and that they are in different loacations etc including ones that were produced just now. I still have LD, Muse Hi-Vision, HD-DVD and D-Theater / D-VHS and (Super-)...

I am pretty sure this is more about the picture quality and indeed they have gone the extra mile with a very high resolution filmout: https://www.in70mm.com/presents/1954_vistavision/1956_searchers/restoration/index.htm "The source files were P3 6K and filmed out at FotoKem." A horizontal...

It is not quite clear if the "Seydor" cut has seen some new work done or not and I completely agree that it does not help to shorten several scenes as it affected the flow of the movie and not in a good way. At least we are getting the last cut by Peckinpah that should leave those scenes intact.

Just asking because I am interested not because I would not buy. There are some caps over at DVDbeaver by the way and they look outstanding. Very fine and natural detail, simply stunning!

There actually is an Australian release but probably from an older master: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=321191 We never got anything good on disc for The Tin Star so this Blu-ray is a welcome sight. I just would like to see a bit more information about the digital assets used to...

I fully agree with that point and posted as much earlier. From what I know there is no film-out of Vertigo and I was actually watching a print from the 90s re-release. Back then 70mm was still state of the art and at that point the best option. Today not so much any more and I would have...

Very nice but those 70mm prints weren't too shabby either.

Was that Williamsburg: The Story of a Patriot? I know a cinema technician who considered getting a 35/8 projector for many years but he could not find anything to use it with as even faded 35/8 prints are extremely rare and so he dropped the idea.

Once it is digital a movie may as well stay that way but then it is nice to get some 70mm prints from time to time that are not from Lawrence or 2001! 35/8 is kind of cool but not sure where to find the movie theater with a projector to screen it for a larger audience.

First off, this is great news and a must buy for me. I am very fond of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid despite its flaws. I have been waiting for it even longer than for a good version of The Wild Bunch as I was sure we would get that anyhow but I was not sure about Pat Garret with its many...

Lack of cleanup was never really an issue for me with the Warner Archive releases but a DVD is still a DVD and I am very glad that we will now be getting a Blu-ray from a new 4k scan.

I long stopped wondering what gets released and what not especially with Kino who seem to release a really wide range of movies that not many would have expected on UHD.

There are other movies where a release may be less probable that get threads on here so don't be sorry. Here is the 4K DCP so it would not be too much to expect a 4K release: https://www.parkcircus.com/film/118455-Imitation-of-Life Looking at my Blu-ray I would say that Imitation of Life is...

I think the DVD was decent by DVD standards but I thought the movie deserved a Blu-ray. Warner went the extra mile with a 4K scan so this will be as good as it gets and I would not be worried at all.

Fantastic! This will finally replace the Warner Archive DVD that I have never watched as after sampling it I thought the movie deserved better. It will be magnificent to watch this on Blu-ray as my first time viewing...

Thanks, being a disc man I did not know that! I may check the digital copy to see if it is just matted down top and bottom or if adjustments were made to get better framing for the taller parts.

Oh yes and I am quite happy with it and also his aspect ratio decision seeing that for once it went my way. Obviously we have to accept all of these decisions but we are allowed to have a different opinion on how certain things could be handled, looks like it is the same for you :)
