Re: UHD release announcements
Not really. I'd be more pissed if they released less than a handful at this point, which would tell me they have no idea what to do. At least they're sticking to their guns on the whole no 4K thing. And so far there are very few Criterions that have had 4K's released at this time.

Re: UHD release announcements
The question with "Do The Right thing" is what "color scheme" will it follow. The Universal blu-ray had "true" colors while the Criterion had the Ernest Dickerson-approved Theatrical color scheme employing red-ish filters to give the film a "hot Summer day" visual tone.

Do The Right Thing
Crash
Parasite
The Elephant Man
Don't Look Now
Breathless
Le Cercle Rouge
The Princess Bride
Ran (maybe doesn't really count since CC lost rights before a BD release, and I think whoever was releasing it on 4K had an indefinite delay?)
Plus, some are available in 4K digitally/streaming (again, off the top of my head)
The Irishman (4K on Netflix, but not on disc)
Marriage Story (4K on Netflix, but not on disc)
Roma (4K on Netflix, but not on disc)
Nashville
Silence of the Lambs
Portrait of a Lady on Fire (Hulu has it, but I don't know if it's 4K or not. Actually, seems like nobody has this in 4K yet, despite it being shot in 8K. Seems ripe for 4K disc treatment, IMO)

Re: UHD release announcements
As you mentioned, Ran looked like it was going to happen, although nothing's materialized (AFAIK). Ditto for the original War of the Worlds. The Killers and Videodrome have been announced/teased as well.
I haven't seen this confirmed through an authoritative source, but supposedly Neon isn't licensing out UHD rights. I'm baffled that it hasn't gotten a UHD release anywhere the world over either.

Might have to upgrade Total Recall since it’s only $15. Not my favorite Schwarzenegger film, but still an enjoyable one.

Criterion's lack of 4K is comically sad at this point.

Re: UHD release announcements
And on the Paramount tip, it looks like The Ten Commandments is getting a UHD release at the end of March — just in time for Easter.
I’m always thrilled when large format films get the 4K treatment, and with as jaw-droppingly gorgeous as its BD release was, this should really be something special.

Damn, Collateral looks better than I expected. It's a beautiful disc.

Re: UHD release announcements
That was one of those early "shot on digital" films that a lot of filmmakers were shooting (Spike Lee's "Bamboozled" was another), and I remember that it looked much better to me on DVD, -sharper, I suppose, -than it did in the theater.

For three men the Civil War wasn’t hell… it was practice! By far the most ambitious, unflinchingly graphic and stylistically influential western ever made, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a classic actioner shot through with a volatile mix of myth and realism. Screen legend Clint Eastwood (A Fistful of Dollars) returns as “The Man with No Name,” this time teaming with two gunslingers to pursue a cache of $200,000 and letting no one, not even warring factions in a civil war, stand in their way. From sun-drenched panoramas to bold hard close-ups, exceptional camerawork captures the beauty and cruelty of the barren landscape and the hardened characters who stride unwaveringly through it. Hailed as “the best directed movie of all time” by Quentin Tarantino, this epic masterpiece was directed by the great Sergio Leone (Once Upon a Time in the West) and co-stars Lee Van Cleef (For a Few Dollars More) as Angel Eyes and Eli Wallach (The Magnificent Seven) in the role of Tuco. Music by legendary composer Ennio Morricone (Death Rides a Horse).

Sigh. This should be the most exciting announcement of the year, but instead I look forward to the inevitable dumpster fire that this will surely turn out to be!

Re: UHD release announcements
From the other site, per a Kino rep:
”Neither HDR or Dolby Vision.”
“The UHD-SDR 179-Minute Extended master received over 30 hours of extensive shot-by-shot color grading. We wouldn't have spent the money or time if we were going to release the overly yellow grade.
What we said, was we looked into doing a new restoration and creating a new HDR Dolby Vision master, but the potential costs were too high and we would've never recouped. We decided to drop the release, but a few month ago we decided we'll go ahead with the release, fixing the colors on the otherwise beautiful UHD-SDR master.
The Blu-ray disc is also newly authored, some of the extras on the previous release had encoding issues and we fixed it for this new release.”

Re: UHD release announcements
I think the best path to a Dollars trilogy set would be if MGM were to do the heavy lifting, as they have with the likes of Platoon, Silence of the Lambs, The Princess Bride, and Spaceballs (which KLSC is taking advantage of). And the project overall might be more viable now than it seemed a few years back when KLSC was first exploring it, given that there was literally one UHD BD from a U.S. boutique label on the market at the time (and it was theirs!).
