Question as per title, but I'd like to break it down just a little. HDR currently appears to be about 3 things: - 4k resolution - Improved colour space - Greater contrast I'd love to hear from the knowledgeable people here who've worked in the industry about the benefits HDR will bring...

I pass on to you that which I received... Studio Canal is working on the newly restored ToH for a UK DVD & Blu-ray Disc release next year; it should be around March. Apparently the rights held be Criterion have lapsed, and Lionsgate aren't interested, so there's little chance of a US release...

Again, should strictly be in the international section, but as it's The Greatest Film Ever Made ™ I couldn't care less. :P I also know the forums are populated by Archers fans...

Strictly speaking this should be in the international section, but it's bound to get a (near) simultaneous US release: http://www.amazon.fr/Grand-sommeil-Blu-ray-Humphrey-Bogart/dp/B00G3DLVL0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407158770&sr=8-1&keywords=the+big+sleep+blu-ray Steve W

Apologies if this has already been brought up, but I haven't seen it discussed yet: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27223622 The BBC report hasn't quite got it, but I suspect what they're proposing is paying more for higher quality (resolution) version. They say: $15 (£9) per film for a...

From the TCM Film Festival: http://filmfestival.tcm.com/a-matter-of-life-and-death/ I note: "Sony Pictures’ Grover Crisp was on hand to see his company’s splendid digital restoration of A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH, which may not have been original Technicolor but gave a very close...

Okay, can anyone help me here. In the US you can buy a film on download from Amazon. In the UK you can't (I'm in the UK). Are there ways round this? For example, could I get a friend in the US to open an Amazon account, download the film (where I believe it will also be saved to a cloud)...

I've recently received this Italian release of The Third Man (Il Terzo Uomo) on Blu-ray Disc: http://www.amazon.com/terzo-uomo-blu-ray-blu_ray-Italian/dp/B00GVHQEP6/ref=sr_1_4?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1392904958&sr=1-4&keywords=terzo I've done a quick check and comparison, and it appears to be...

Many apologies if there's word of this already, and please accept the caveats offered.The BBFC Recent Decisions page has just posted two notices for supplementary materials for Giant.These are for two parts of an audio commentary marked:1 - GIANT [Additional material,Audio commentary by Stephen...

This link at Amazon Spain: http://www.amazon.es/Colecci%C3%B3n-Woody-Allen-20-pel%C3%ADculas/dp/B008CN8GFS €80 for 20 films is snip, if this is true. You'd have to think the contents would be the same as this...

It certainly now looks like Vertigo is coming from Universal later this year as part of the Hitchcock boxed set, if not as a standalone release. Amazon UK lists as extras: "Bonus Features: Obsessed with Vertigo: New Life for Hitchcock’s Masterpiece, Partners in Crime: Hitchcock’s...

I do not wish to encourage nefarious practices, but this sort of releasing does just that. $100 (which is what many will have to pay for As Good as it Gets) is too much for a film. But $100, rip it to a HDD to play back on your TV/Blu-ray Disc Player/Media Player, then sell it to someone else...

We've seen stickers and comments on Blu-ray Discs saying that they contain a 'Director Approved Transfers', or some similar wording. There's recently been discussion about the new Blu-ray Disc of Pulp Fiction - a release which says QT approved the transfer, but which some people don't like the...

I think most of us are aware of the very public spat between Friedkin and Roizman over the former's treatment of The French Connection on Blu-ray Disc. With Roizman working with him on the Blu-ray Disc of The Exorcist I know that many are hopeful for a presentation a little more faithful...

As we know, this is the greatest film ever made. Mr Harris, do you have any knowledge of a Blu-ray Disc release? Many thanks. Steve
