It sounds like they've got a LOT of classic material in various stages of the production process, but getting it all where they want it to be quality-wise is taking time. Just wanted to let everyone know, before expectations run TOO far out of control.

There has been no announcement, or even solid rumors, for Vol 5 to date. Anyone connected with the noir world have any info on the status of future collections? |

I did read the posted chats a couple times. Honestly, I found the process of a ton of thank yous and a few tidbits of information came mighty close to gag inducing. However, anyone promoting a consumer product that thinks it's a good idea to distance themselves from their consumer ... they are in the wrong business. |

They scaled back last year as well ( the SE anniversary editions of Cool Hand Luke, LA Confidential, and Bonnie & Clyde being pushed over into this year). I think anyone expecting a flood of titles Q4 is setting themselves up for disappointment.

| Strong sales of Blu-ray Disc are not enough to make up for sagging sales of standard DVDs, which have been declining over the last two years. In 2006, movie studios generated $25 billion in revenue for home video releases. That number fell to $23.1 billion in 2007, with a further fall to $21.4 billion expected for this year, figured Citigroup analyst Jason Bazinet. |
