The African Queen? 23 March 10
So I am wondering if anyone has any news or knows when The African Queen will be released on DVD. I figured they would have done a 2 disk special edition of this by now, like they did with Casablanca and Treasure. Thanks for any info guys

Paramount's Martin Blythe said back in April 2003 at HTF
I have not heard any updates on its status since then.
[The African Queen] at the moment is a candidate for a full-blown restoration so y'all just going to have to be patient.

Strange to be bumping an almost four year old thread, but still no African Queen?
Has anyone heard anything new about this? I can't believe it's not out yet on R1.

Well, according to the Rumor Mill at TheDigitalBits, Paramount is working on a high-def transfer (along with one for Wings), so we may see something next year...

I read that too. I also read someplace that the print was heavily damaged and that's the reason they hadn't released it. Maybe it will become part of the Centennial Collection.

No line on price or bonus features, but Paramount has scheduled an October 13th release date for The African Queen as part of their Paramount Centennial Collection series. Stay tuned for more details...

Looks like I made my post a couple of seconds after you did. This probably deserves a fresh thread with official release date in the thread title. If you want to create said thread, go for it.

Wow, just wow. About freakin' time, may or may not buy it but not putting this out on STANDARD DVD in 2008 is just tragic given the leads and Bogart's Oscar win for the movie.
