Great news. Sad state of motion pictures that this is even a thing though. I understand the Signature Collection bluray has become a hot commodity as of late.

Le Samourai

Per Dawn of the Discs the titles being guessed at are.... Welcome to the Dollhouse Safe Run Lola Run Orlando Amour Searching for Sugar Man Pollock Dogtown and Z boys Call Me by Your Name

I thought as much - what a shame considering the treatment of some recent 4K Scans/Restorations.

@Todd Erwin - you're not the only one that failed to connect with Licorice Pizza. My anticipation was very high, but it left me cold (very similar to how I felt about Last Night in Soho). I described the film to others as "wandering" and "unfocused." I thought The Phantom Thread was an absolute...

Your point is well taken. If I'm not mistaken, I believe James Cameron did the same with Aliens prior to the bluray release. Not ok.

Yes. We agree.

Sure - could be, but my question remains the same - what's the point of reference?

I understand the arguments on grain, color, and FRAMING (as some of you have argued vs the word cropping), but given Criterion's pedigree - (a label meant for true film connoisseurs last time I checked), wouldn't you want to mirror the look of the original prints/negatives? Surely there exists...

This is disappointing to say the least - given Disney's ownership over FOX, I would be saddened if this is indeed the last stop for this picture (at least in physical media). Criterion really seems to be missing the mark as of late - take a look at the errors authored into their 4K releases, for...

https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=343639 - Shout Factory Insider has advised that there was indeed a mistake and you can submit for a replacement. Since the tail end of 2020...I've now had a replacement issued for Brotherhood of the Wolf (subtitles were marred with errors), the Friday...

One of the best - the dialogue is incredibly well written, great score, and a helluva ensemble of characters. The Warners Bluray is a sight to behold...after all these years, I can finally get rid of my DVD.

Thank you for sharing this - boy oh boy it'd be nice to get a UHD of Goldeneye that looks comparable to this - literally just rewatched the bluray and it is disappointing to say the least. DNR is literally one of the worst things to ever happen in home cinema.

Now that Kino is on the 4K bandwagon (we already have The Good, The Bad, The Ugly...which I still think needs more time in the "oven," and we're getting the other two "Dollars" westerns next year), I would love to see 4K editions of Once Upon a Time in the West, Silverado, Duck You Sucker! (aka...

Whoa. Talk about unexpected! I'll be all over this the day it comes out.
