They're talking about the 2012 Criterion Blu-ray.

Thanks for clearing this up for me.

If they are talking about the 2012 disc, why do they refer to it as "a new Blu-ray?"

Dude, I'm not going to argue with you as there is only the 2012 Criterion Blu-ray. The post below was posted some days ago. The posts before it, were posted back in 2012.

Sorry, not arguing just confused. Mr. Harris and others discussing an 8 year old Blu-ray as if it were a new release. Glad to know it's the 2012 Criterion which I own and like very much.

One last time, except for the last 14 posts, the rest of the posts in this thread were posted back in February, 2012.

LOL. I guess not everyone is familiar with the concept of thread-bumping!

I have the 2012 copy of this film. Is this a new transfer, and if so, is it worth the upgrade?

Yup, I first fell for it, too. Thought that maybe Criterion found an unexpected justification to return to an already perfect disc.

Still, it’s been well over 8 years since this was first reviewed (already?); so I’m hoping that this thread will find a whole bunch of newbies, leading them towards discovery of this outstanding film and transfer. It’s definitely worked out that way in my favor, on many past occasions.

That would be me. I was gonna get it during the last B&N sale, but it was sold out online and at all local stores...

So am I hearing right about a new Criterion release (from new 4K transfer/remaster?) coming?

_Man_

This is my view. If it’s a BD not yet owned, then it’s new; no matter how long it’s been available.

Well it's "New" to somebody

And this, too, is “New” to me.
Gee whiz, I wish I said and sold it first; then I’d finally have that needed mega moola for my big-time home theater.

As for “Anatomy of a Murder” finding its way to the 4K/UHD format? Why not? It’s a product of Columbia Pictures. So maybe this title could find its way into the boxed set of Columbia Classics (Volume Two); or even as a stand-alone. And don’t forget, Volume One contained the 4K/UHD of “Dr. Strangelove”; which apparently didn’t step on any contractual toes of Criterion, as they are still offering the BD.

One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when the trial judge is walking up to the courthouse, goes inside and passes a closed door. He hears sounds and looks inside with this expression of benevolence when he sees Stewart and O’Connel pouring over the law books. It’s as if he’s thinking “All’s right with the world when lawyers are studying the law.” The expression on the judge’s face is priceless.

Does anyone know if that documentary about this film was ever completed, the 2012 release included excerpts from it.

Thanks to this thread I’m watching this now - been a few years since my last viewing. I had a VHS copy for years before the BD came out and this disc is just gorgeous. It’s one of the best court thrillers I’ve ever seen and age doesn’t rob it of any of its power. The cast is just phenomenal.
