Spellbound : CC due when?

[Scott_MacD]

Is Spellbound on hiatus, or is it just taking a while?

Does anyone have any facts with respect to this title, as to release date and possible supplements?

I have a feeling we won't see this one until late 2002-early 2003. As far as supplements go I bet it will be in approximation to what Notorious had. I'm they loaded Rebecca up because of winning Best Picture.
Speaking of Hitchcock - most of my favorite films of his has been released, but does anyone know if either Universal or Criterion plan on covering any more of his films other than the aforementioned Spellbound?

 

[Scott Leopold]

While I'd like to have all his films on DVD, the two I'm most interested in now are Lifeboat and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I know these and most of his other unreleased titles are available on ebay, but not as authorized releases. You would think that Hitchcock would be considered a sure seller (especially Lifeboat, which is one of his best, IMO), but apparently some studio heads think otherwise.

Most of the unreleased US Hitchcock stuff belongs to Warner. Foreign Correspondent, The Wrong Man, Mr. And Mrs. Smith, I Confess, Dian M For Murder and Stage Fright are all Warner titles.

Although, technically they are not bootlegs since they are legally in the Public Domain in Taiwan. Taiwan copyright law only protects films for 50 years.

While I love both discs, I actually think the array of extras on "NOTORIOUS" is more impressive than that of "REBECCA" (despite the latter's two-disc status).

I'm looking forward to "SPELLBOUND", but it is my least favorite of the three.

I read that Warner is working on restoring Dial M For Murder.
