We've learned from our friends at The R2 Project that Warner has revealed the Region 2 DVD release of a number of new, previously unannounced titles for 2004 (many are long-awaited special editions). These include:
June - THX-1138, The Searchers: SE, Blazing Saddles: SE, Three Godfathers, Mogambo, Shalako, Wyatt Earp, The Hunger, Fearless Vampire Killers
July - Heat: SE, Goodfellas: SE
August - Jailhouse Rock, Viva Las Vegas, Tarzan the Ape Man, a Johnny Weismuller Box Set, Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Enter the Dragon: SE, Cleopatra Jones, Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires, Purple Rain: SE, Under the Cherry Moon, Graffiti Bridge
September - After Hours, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Who's That Knocking at My Door?, The Lost Boys: SE
It's likely that those titles above that haven't yet been released in R1 will debut here later in 2004 as well. We've also confirmed with our sources that Warner is working on 2-disc SEs of Forbidden Planet and King Kong for 2004. We'll let you know when any official announcements get made.
This is MUCH more tenuous information, but a Brazilian industry contact has informed us that Warner's told him to expect the following additional DVD releases in 2004:
May - Matrix Revolutions
June - The Last Samurai, The Marx Brothers Collection
July - The Name of the Rose: SE
September - Smallville: The Compete Second Season
October - Troy, The Errol Flynn Collection
November - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Gone With the Wind: SE
We'll try to confirm some of this with our own sources in the weeks ahead, so stay tuned.
I got this off the Rumor Mill. Dont know what many off the special editions are but looking forward to King Kong and Gone With the Wind. Know if only they would release Wizard of Oz and Streetcar named Desire.

Well, R2 and Brazilian releases don't help me, but if they do make it to R1 as well, I'd be pretty psyched about:
- THX-1138
- Blazing Saddles: SE
- Goodfellas: SE
- Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan
- The Last Samurai
- Troy
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Gone With the Wind: SE
Wow . . . that's more than I initially realized . . . Warner could be looking to get a lot of money from me this year . . .
Oh . . . and all I can say about the possibility of a The Name of the Rose: SE is
- THX-1138
- Blazing Saddles: SE
- Goodfellas: SE
- Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan
- The Last Samurai
- Troy
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Gone With the Wind: SE

It'll be great to finally have "The Fearless Vampire Killers" That's a title I've really been looking forward to. I also wonder how "The Legend of 7 Golden Vampires" will differ from the Anchor Bay release.
I hope Warners will one day revisit HORROR OF DRACULA and THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and give those classic films the release they deserved. It would be nice to have a commentary by Lee, the additional footage that was missing from the films, a 1.66:1 transfer instead of the tightly matted ones, and box art that doesn't have photos from the WRONG films on the back cover.
