Well, that’s a step in the right direction.

Damn. I was waiting to be called. Bloody George gets the gig again instead.

From Michael Reuben:

"There's some good news for fans of the Warner Archive Collection.

George Feltenstein has returned to Warner as a full-time employee, where he has once again assumed control of WAC, including its Blu-ray releases. We can expect those releases to continue for the foreseeable future.

Anticipating the likely (and reasonable) question about the reliability of this information, I will add that it comes directly from Mr. Feltenstein, with whom I spoke this afternoon."

God Bless the feet of those who Bring Good News. Thank you Michael, and thank you Mr. Feltenstein.

Sensational news! Welcome home, George!

 

[David Weicker]

I actually had this specific thought/hope back when I heard the news about Warner moving from AT&T to join Discover

Fantastic news

 

[jremy7]

Wonderful news!

 

[AnthonyClarke]

I must bitterly add my own congratulations despite my understandable disappointment. I was willing to commute.

Some additional info per Tom Weaver of the Classic Horror Film Board:

He started working for 'em again a week ago today. He just told me about an upcoming off-the-negatives double-feature (which will be of CHFB interest), now that he's back in the saddle. All's right with the (movie geek) world again.

Thanks - "There some good news..." is quite the understatement.
George Feltenstein returning has to rank pretty high on the list of best WAC news ever!

That's gotta be a Val Lewton production. I hope.

 

[Andrew Budgell]

Christmas has come early for classic film fans! Welcome back, Mr. Feltenstein!

 

[trajan007]

Maybe now we can get PENNIES FROM HEAVEN----GOODBYE MR CHIPS---THE BUTCHER BOY---ALICE DOESNT LIVE HERE ANYMORE---THE SHELTERING SKY---SURVIVING PICASSO---WHOS LIFE IS IT ANYWAY?--UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE

 

[TheSteig]

Sounds like this news is legit !
Maybe WAC will start announcing titles on FB and Twitter again. A lot of us miss that
The double feature - could be Val Lewton, but also maybe Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde (31/41)
Or still better - a Boris Karloff double feature with The Walking Dead and The Mask of Fu Manchu !!

 

[Robert Harris]

The news is legit.

 

[JamesSmith]

If it was up to me, I would have fired everybody at WB before firing George.

[TravisR]

I guess this is more of a rhetorical question but why fire him only to hire him back a few months later? I'm certainly glad they did but what made Warners suddenly decide they cared about their catalog again?

Well, during those few months, ownership of WB began the process of changing hands

 

[Randy Korstick]

That's gotta be a Val Lewton production. I hope.

Thats a possibility. As well as the 1932 and 1941 versions of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Attack of the 50 foot woman and a 2nd allied artist horror film.

 

[Douglas R]

I guess this is more of a rhetorical question but why fire him only to hire him back a few months later?

Exactly. That's what I would like to know but I don't suppose we ever will.

 

[Ronald Epstein]

I just heard from George.

The news is correct.

This is a wonderful day for collectors knowing that the captain is back at the helm over at WB.
