"Oklahoma!""Carousel" "The King and I" coming to UK - Page 2

Why announce something that's not coming for almost a year - is FOX pulling another "Star Wars"?

 

Why do they do this, most other companies announce only two months before street?

I don't think there was ever a formal announcement just a remark made by Fox-UK on Blu-ray.com that the titles would be in a box set in 2012. They never issued a date or information on the set.  Warner's has said this past summer that Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and Singin' In The Rain would be in 2012, but again no formal announcement just a remark.  Both are the same thing and I am glad to know they are working on the titles.

That's the one I'll be most anxious to see, too. Fingers crossed.

Hear Hear!  I never liked OKLAHOMA as a "movie musical" until I saw the Todd-AO version; so much better in every respect.

Well Amazon UK is now taking orders for the Box set with a price around 37 pounds.
It says it is six discs, which means, probably, only one version of Oklahoma, Souuth Pacific,, state Fair.

Someone needs to release the lIVe version of State Faoir broadcast about a year ago from Broadway. Excellent revival.

But the box set is not coming out until September 2012!!! That's a very long time away for pre orders !

HDNet Movies is showing OKLAHOMA! this month. I caught some of it last night--unfortunately, their HD version is of the CinemaScope filming.

Yes, I saw a little of it - it doesn't look very good so hoping the Blu-ray is not this transfer.
