Now we've had one offbeat western directed by a Hollywood legend, The Life & Times Of Judge Roy Bean, hows about another, There Was A Crooked Man...(1970), directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz no less.

Excellent choice. It would be great if they could get to it after they have finally released Pat Garret and Billy the Kid on Blu-ray.

Very good DVD should make an excellent blu-ray. This is my favourite 'B' film and Zsa Zsa does look very good indeed. I recommend her UK film 'The Man Who Wouldn't Talk' ( also 1958) where she plays a secret agent.

I can't really get excited about The Queen Of Outer Space (which I actually saw at the cinema in the early sixties), I just keep thinking about all those hundreds of films I'd prefer Warner to release, just so wrong I know, but there you go. It might be fun to buy this, but then you have to sit through it (& more than once, or why buy it). Anyway, enough of this spectre at the feast stuff, I'll retire & allow the celebrations to continue.

Since nobody else seems to have pounced on it, on Thursday, WAC posted a video on FB (and Twitter, I assume) showing their travel bag in going to Comic Con. In the last few seconds of the video, they open it up to show the various movies/ tv shows they were bringing with them as goodies. If you look closely, you can see blus for Home from the Hill, Never So Few, and The Last Hunt, which are probably their next month's announcements.

Considering that filming for the Jim Wynorski/Kelli Maroney remake starts shortly this summer, this Blu could happen.

Batman: The Animated Series (still the best version of Batman) is almost definitely going to get announced there too.

It's coming from Warner Home Video rather than through Warner Archive.

I'd certainly upgrade with those three films, all of which I like and none of which look particularly good on DVD.

 

[TheSteig]

Im in for Home from the Hill, and possibly The Last Hunt once I watch it. I saw the video too. As for Queen of Outer Space, Id rather have the other two titles in the box set that has The Giant Behemoth and Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman. For all I know, they could be announced at Comic Con ..they are going to announce other 'cult' titles. Should be fun

 

[Randy Korstick]

I'm in for Never so Few and The Last Hunt

Ooh, I'm so excited like the Pointer Sisters.

 

[OliverK]

That's three out of three for me, now let's hope that they really get announced for next month!

They *should* be close, because the video showed the spines of the blu cases, and if they are indeed being taken to Comic Con, then the releases shouldn't be too far behind!

 

[Astairefan]

Well, WAC seems to announcing them today (on FB). They have announced the three I previously mentioned, and added The Naked and The Dead to boot!

You can probably put this in the category of "wishful" thinking but..........WAC recently issued a flashback video on their FB page for the 2015 Comic Con announcement of the original "Special Effects Collection".

With the San Diego Comic Con this week, I wonder if this is a hint at another sci-fi collection to be announced this week at Comic Con? Like I said, probably wishful thinking but it did seem odd that they'd re-post that video as their "flashback" to Comic Con past.

They posted lots of flashback videos so I don't think that means much. They are also supposed to be releasing Queen of Outer Space. They have never released a Blu Ray collection the 1st effects collection was from WHV. I don't see them doing it as it doesn't fit their model. They could announce another Sci-Fi title as an individual release though.

For those going to Comic Con Warner Archive will present
