Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
The documentary Film Noir: Bringing Darkness to Light that’s now packaged with Gun Crazy was originally packaged as an extra disc in the Warner Brothers Film Noir Classic Collection, Volume 3. That DVD also had five 20-minute programs from the MGM series “Crime Does Not Pay” — “Women In Hiding” (1940), “You, the People” (1940), Fred Zinneman’s “Forbidden Passage” (1941), Joseph Losey’s “A Gun in his Hand” (1945), and “The Luckiest Guy in the World” (1947). Not included here, it seems.

I hope so. Vincente Minnelli should be in the collection and Bad and the Beautiful is one of his best non-musicals.noirbuff wrote:Good indication Bad and the Beautiful may be with Criterion as part of the Warner deal.Glowingwabbit wrote:My thoughts exactly.

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
Hope so, but it could just be a sign that Warner Archive doesn't put a lot of thought into what to present when.noirbuff wrote:Good indication Bad and the Beautiful may be with Criterion as part of the Warner deal.Glowingwabbit wrote:My thoughts exactly.

So many Warner DVDs are, because they've chosen to either relegate them to WAC DVD-R releases or rerelease them as lowball 4-movie TCM sets under an unfortunate banner like "Greatest Classic Legends." The latter is what happened to The Bad and the Beautiful.Also looks like DVD of Bad and the Beautiful has been oop for a while.

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
The only thing that makes me skeptical is a lack of a Vincente Minnelli phantom page. Unless they add it in near future.

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
I’m ecstatic about Gun Crazy too - I was hoping for an HD release for ages.
Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection
Did I miss the announcement of this or is it a surprise release: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers BD
Retains both aspect ratio versions and (I think) all the extras from the original 2-disc DVD release. I adore this film, but I honestly don’t know if I can bring myself to buy yet another edition of it, and I’m skeptical that the transfer on the BD will be that much of an improvement over that on the 2-disc DVD.

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection
Warner Archives always announces titles like three weeks before release. There's no date attached to this one yet, though.
Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection
I see now I was mistaking their “May the Seventh for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers!” as a release date announcement.

A two-disc blu-ray from WAC? That is a first, isn't it?

That's still only about 0.3 Blu-Rays per brother.

Darn I though you were talking about their "New Releases: Femme Fatale FTW" email. Sadly it turned out not to be what I thought...

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
Same as the DVD. This is not a good movie, though-- are they going out of their way to prioritize second string Minnelli over his still-languishing classics? If it's remembered at all, it's for inexplicably winning the writing Oscar, an honor literally no one thinks it merited

Also saw an announcement for Village of the Damned (1960). Hopefully the sequel is on the way as well.

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
WA will NOT be releasing the fourth season of iZombie due to clearance issues. How does that even happen at this point when everyone is thinking of eventual streaming and physical media releases during production?

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
It won't be streaming either? Maybe they just weren't necessarily thinking about a physical release.

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
They released the third season on Blu-ray before the fourth started filming, I have to believe the studio knew it was likely. As far as I know it will be streaming on Netflix still

Re: Warner Brothers Archive Collection Blu-rays
A local theater near me is screening Cukor's Camille soon, and I notice it's a DCP with a listed source of Warner Bros. Classics.
Which got me thinking: is there a list anywhere of catalog titles for which Warners has DCPs but which have no home video release (or which are only available digitally)?
I've seen, for example, DCPs of All through the Night and Blues in the Night presented theatrically. Neither is available anywhere that I know of, but it looks like Blues... played on TCM last year and All Through... is playing in August, and both are available for digital purchase on Amazon (though who knows if it's the same transfer).
