There's a few firmly rumored ones floating around, namely something with Errol Flynn in black & white (Sea Hawk? Captain Blood?) and The Maltese Falcon.

Re: After Oz GWTW and NBNW what classic Warner Bros Blu Rays?
Rumored (but looking very likely) for 2010:
A Marx Bros. and Errol Flynn title have been mentioned, but unclear if they're on tap for 2010. |
Re: After Oz GWTW and NBNW what classic Warner Bros Blu Rays?
Using "on or before 1970" as classic, these are rumored for 2010:
Where Eagles Dare Kelly's Heroes A Star is Born Grand Prix Mutiny on the Bounty (both the 1935 and 1962 versions, reportedly?) Dial M for Murder (!!!) Forbidden Planet Doctor Zhivago Treasure of the Sierra Madre The Maltese Falcon Ben-Hur Confirmed: The Green Berets The Music Man |

Im curious as to why Dial M for Murder would come out before some other Hitchcock titles. That's always been a lesser known work compared to other films he's made.

Re: After Oz GWTW and NBNW what classic Warner Bros Blu Rays?
I would love a Ben-Hur gift set.
|
Re: After Oz GWTW and NBNW what classic Warner Bros Blu Rays?
As long as they keep releasing 'em at Target or Wal-Mart in "regular" versions I'll be happy.

The other Hitchcocks in the Warner library are Strangers on a Train, Foreign Correspondent, Suspicion, The Wrong Man, Stage Fright, I Confess, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Dial M for Murder wouldn't be my top pick of those, but hey, I'll take Grace Kelly in high-def! |

With North by Northwest out, really the only three truly stand-alone marketable titles are Dial M, Strangers on Train and Suspicion. |
Re: After Oz GWTW and NBNW what classic Warner Bros Blu Rays?
my bad. I thought they had the rights to alot more. Now Dial looks like the correct choice! =)

I thought I read somewhere that King Kong was rumored. Does that ring a bell for anyone?

Would they be thinking of releasing the 3D version perhaps?

Re: After Oz GWTW and NBNW what classic Warner Bros Blu Rays?
Dr Z and Ben Hur would be magnificent in HD and I would love to get a Wizard of Oz or Gone with the Wind type set.

Re: After Oz GWTW and NBNW what classic Warner Bros Blu Rays?
Give me The Time Machine please.

I'm also wondering when Warner'll get around to releasing Citizen Kane on Blu. |
Re: After Oz GWTW and NBNW what classic Warner Bros Blu Rays?
Citizen Kane needs to be redone, because Lowry's digital restoration removed too much of the grain. One scene even had rain removed because the software thought it was noise or grain. It was one of Lowry's first titles, and they hadn't found the right balance yet.
I don't know if they have to go back and re-transfer it from scratch, or if it's just a matter of redoing the digital work. In any case, they may be targeting a 2011 release since they love anniversaries. |
