Cape Fear 50th Anniversary? (1 Viewer)

Anyone know if Universal has anything planned for Cape Fear this year?

No news, but there should be!

I got the Blu Ray of this from Great Britian last year, and I think it looks and sounds super, and it's region free. I would assume Universal has the hi def master and could easily put it out.
And this brings up another irritation. I have been reading reviews of some recent Universal-owned films that have been released in England on Blu, but they are not region free. Things like DOUBLE INDEMNITY, THE RUGGLES OF RED GAP, THE LOST WEEKEND, etc. Is there really that much bigger an audience in Great Britian for these American classics than here in the states?

Cape Fear looked excellent on DVD so I'm sure a blu-ray would be high quality. I'll probably end up picking up the UK disc since it's been out for close to a year there and a North American release is nowhere in sight.

Different sales expectations.

I have the British BD release and it looks great and is pretty cheap on Amazon.uk ($11.74 US dollars). Their shipping is very reasonable and fast as well.
