No Time for Seargents is the only one presently announced. They are also rereleasing Dr. Zhivago to dvd and BD. Everything else is in their archive made on demand program. You are better off looking to Sony.

The Errol Flynn Signature Collection Vol. 3 and Film Noir Classic Collection Vol. 5

The Hanging Tree (1959) and Raintree County (1957)

None have been officially announced, however.

Not much if any. Face it... Our days of collecting are coming to and end. It wont be long now before we are forced to stream/download everything and more or less "rent" media until that format is dead and then lose our entire collections when the next format after streaming/downloading comes out. Its a sad time for us lovers/collectors of the cinematic arts, and anyone who cares about the ownership of bought media.

At the very least, I want Pretty Maids All in a Row as an Archive release.

Well, maybe not. Just announced yesterday was the forthcoming layoff of 450 Sony workers, primarily in the home entertainment departments. There was some vague statement in the press release that implies a shift away from pressed discs, possibly.

"Sony officials suggested an increased emphasis on digital distribution strategies will allow a less labor intensive approach to home entertainment releasing."

Don't know what the hell that means, but it doesn't sound promising.

Sony has already announced several items. The noir sets and Hammer Suspense set. I was referring to what they already had in the pipeline.

Don't forget the Rita Hayworth box in May, and the delayed New Hollywood set.

I'm still waiting for a fully restored 2-discer for Dangerous Liaisons, myself.

Hayworth could be worthy
