What's the problem? That was released in 2006.

We really need a restoration of "The Man Who Knew Too Much". It's never looked at all decent on DVD, and being a VistaVision film, it has the potential to look amazing. I'd love to see RAH work on that one, as well as update his fantastic work on Vertigo.

Criterion is releasing "The Lady Vanishes" on BD this year.

Maybe some Hitchcock titles are coming next year then??

From The Digital Bits:

First, Universal is going to start releasing a series of new and reissue Universal: 100th Anniversary Editions of their various catalog titles on Blu-ray and DVD next year, starting with Billy Elliot on Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack on 1/10/2012. Billy Elliot hasn't been released on Blu-ray in the U.S., though import versions are available. All the new titles will include those not yet released on Blu-ray. We expect to learn of more soon.

Which means they'll be available here in the near future.

It doesn't look like Universal has any intentions of releasing any Hitchcock Blu-rays in the near future.

I had written them an email about it in the last two weeks and the following was their reply:

"Thank you for contacting us.

No plans have been announced for the Blu-ray release of "Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection." A multitude of factors influence the timing and content of our releases. Unfortunately, no further information is available at this time.

Yet, we can preorder some of those titles from Amazon CA and they will play on our BRD players.  I would take that email with a large grain of salt.

That email is from Universal Customer Service, who know less about title availability that you can find here or on Amazon.  I would be shocked if there wasn't a Hitchcock title or two coming out as part of their 100th Anniversary in 2012.  We should know more by the end of first quarter next year.

I thought I read somewhere after Psycho appeared last year that the next Blu-ray Hitchcock release from them was going to be The Birds.

I saw this as well late last night and was going to post it as well.
So I wonder if the US will also get these titles?

Perhaps worth importing?

I still wonder what the heck happened with The Birds on blu ray???

I hope so.

I know Universal was working on more Hitchcock for bllu ray, but no titles were really specifically mentioned. This was many months ago where blu ray.com had a Universal update and it was briefly mentioned. I believe I posted the article in this thread.

I wonder if the mastering for blu ray has been a hold up to more of the titles coming to blu ray.
