I'll bite on Gremlins, and nothing else, assuming it gets a new transfer, which I have heard was in the works.

I would not hold your breath for a new transfer on these editions. Warner is extremely conservative when it comes to granting new film transfers when a current HD transfer already exists. It's unlikely to receive a new one until the next 4K format comes around.

well the transfer on the current edition of Gremlins is nothing to write home about. will wait and see how this pans out.

I love Gremlins, but I'm not going to give them props when they're just re-issuing 5 movies (and the current release of Gump is just fine). Their catalog (along with Paramount's now) is so vast that I'd prefer bare-bones releases with decent transfers of other films that haven't gotten a release yet.

What a bunch of shit. I seriously doubt these will be new transfers and the packaging looks horrible.

Then again, how long did Paramount's Sapphire Series last?

Forrest Gump and Ben-Hur are also being released as part of this line. That definitely signals no new transfers for any of these releases.

If they don't do a special 25th edition for GoodFellas with a new transfer, that will be a huge black eye for WB IMO.

I think we can expect a 40th anniversary release of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in this packaging next year.

I'm surprised Amadeus isn't getting this treatment for its 30th anniversary this year. It'd be nice to also have its theatrical cut in HD.

If any of these had new transfers, I think they'd point it out in the features list. I'd even expect the same disc as before, with the additional features on a new disc.
BTW, I still strongly prefer the original poster art for Gremlins as opposed to the "friendlier" white cover that focuses on Gizmo.
