Slightly off topic, but with this new transfer and an anamorphic Charade on the way, does anyone think this will lead to re-releases of non-anamorphic titles (such as Brazil) and remasters of older prints (such as Seven Samurai)?

From the recent HTF Chat with Criterion's Lee Kline:
Q: Mr Kline. Welcome. I would like to know if Criterion plans on re-releasing Seven Samurai in a 50th Anniversary Edition this year.
A: We would really like to, and have just started thinking about what we can do for a new release. As many of you know, the Japanese mastering is probably the most difficult for us. Film elements have been kept poorly, and many original negatives and Master Postives (fine grains) are not in existence. We're going to be doing some tests on Seven Samurai soon to see if we can make it look better than the previous version very soon.

Comparison from DVD Beaver (see Eureka screen captures and list of extras)
If so, an upgrade will be a no-brainer, as the Eureka set is outstanding.

Will definitely double-dip on the Fritz Lang goodness. Will probably hold off on 'Charade', as I don't have a 16x9 set as of right now, so the anamorphic enhancement isn't a big deal...yet.

I did email te people at CC to ask about a rebate, here is the response...
To the best of my knowledge, CHARADE is a unique situation. We will, however, be treating each case individually.
...so probably no rebate. Ill jsut Fleabay mine probably...
