Yeah, the announcements have been all over the place in the last few months. Maybe Warner wanted to shake things up...or it's the virus. A Tale Of Two Cities (1935) was mentioned last month, I wouldn't mind that one.
As only 3 Godfathers (1948) and Tea for Two already have HD transfers, probably all of the others will be remastered.
I do believe new HD transfers were created for them to stream on HBO Max (as far as I know there is no WB film streaming on HBO Max in SD).

As I posted in the other thread the TED20 currently applies to items in the 4 for 44.00 sale. Also if you have $150.00 in items before the discount - the free shipping still applies!Active starting this morning with similar rules to prior sales.
Appears TED20 gives added 20% discount though I'm not sure if that includes 4/44 items or just non sale discs
Yep. Just picked up nine titles from my wishlist.[email protected] post: 4934273 said:I see they have the 4 for $44 sale going on until November 30th.
Right now I'm looking at High Society on the BBC, & it looks really nice, sometimes a bit of a halo around some dark areas (like men's suits), but it looks very Blu-ray worthy to me.
Based on my sampling of it this morning on HBO Max, it looks beautiful so I expect it's in the WA pipeline with January a distinct possibility.I would love to have a Blu of The Man Who Came T Dinner. I hope it’s a January release.
Well, there is an HD master now of "The Man Who Came to Dinner".HBOMax has released a preview of their holiday lineup, and one of the titles included is The Man Who Came to Dinner.
I don't believe there's an HD master of this film, so I hope this news bodes well for new master and future Blu-ray release. Perhaps it wasn't ready in time for a Blu-ray release this year? I believe there have been some delays due to COVID. I'm just not sure I can wait an entire year for a release of one of my favourite films!

I will have to disagree on that one ( And I may be wrong).Based on my sampling of it this morning on HBO Max, it looks beautiful so I expect it's in the WA pipeline with January a distinct possibility.
I didn't think that 1936 version of Three Godfathers was pristine at all.I will have to disagree on that one ( And I may be wrong).
Even though it is a good transfer, it is not up to WAC usual standards, as I identified several speckles in the transfer.
In my opinion, these are the titles elegible for WAC bluray releases, all of them presented in pristine conditions:
- Godfathers (1936)
- My dream is yours
- Room for one more
- On moonlight bay.
The last 3 are labeled as Remastered by HBO Max, along with 3 Godfathers (1948). But I do not see this version as clean as the 1936 (which is not labeled as remastered, by the way). Indeed the 1948 version has a lot of dirt.
And you are probably right as it is not under the remastered banner. My eyes may have deceived me.I didn't think that 1936 version of Three Godfathers was pristine at all.
