I could be wrong, but I don't think they have the rights to it any more.

It was actually one of the first featured films on their new streaming channel.

True. I was not aware that a remaster was in the works though. Is there something particularly wrong with the earlier Blu-ray release?

Nothing explicitly wrong, but Chungking Express was in the first wave of Criterion blus and its transfer is well over a decade old at this point. There is a new 4k restoration that I believe is currently making the rounds.

So I watched my copy of Broadcast News for the first time last night. Still an amazing comedy. But the image was grainy as fuck. Did they ever redo that transfer and do a disc exchange or anything? It looked pretty terrible to me.

Reviews say the video quality is near perfect.

It depends on the film stock they used. Film has grain. If you remove the grain, you remove the image detail.

I don't remember anything problematic about the transfer there. Haven't watched it in a couple years, but I enjoyed my last viewing of it on the same equipment I currently use.

Kinda like Hitchcock's Notorious, I'll buy every version of DTRT that's released.

As long as they go back to the original colour timing.

I'll definitely wait to see the reviews.

The first time that I watched my Blu of Broadcast News, I thought the exact same thing. However, the last time that I watched it, it didn't seem to be as bad as I remembered it. I DID get a bigger TV between my first and second watches; maybe that made the difference, although I'd never have thought that increasing the size of the image would have made it look less grainy.

Nice. The current blu-ray of DtRT is hot garbage and looks worse than the Criterion DVD.

Excited about that announcement of Do The Right Thing.

Hopefully the Transfer will be good so I can upgrade from my Criterion DVD.
