Some further details: 24 is not counting any dual format releases of the early Blu-ray titles. Probably three of them will be silents, and one of these German (Die Nibelungen?). Probably four of the 24 will be upgrades (presumably the two already announced plus Tabu and Muriel).

I'd love a Rocco Blu if we're talking strictly upgrades here. That's coming out in France so there will be the 1080p transfer available.

I'd love it too, though it bears mentioning that Tabu and Muriel are tagged as "DUAL SOON" in the latest MoC catalogue.

Also, "less than half" of next year's releases will be Universal titles. So, no more than twelve, four of which we already know about.

I hope much less - they did say the majority were going to be Duals and the Universals won't be Duals, so. The stuff outside the catalogue titles of the major studios makes for much more interesting releases in my opinion. No other label would have given many of these foreign titles the releases they have done.

I think Ruggles is a Universal title, and that one's a dual- I think the blu-only restriction only applies to things Universal's actually bothered to put out in some way.

[swo17]

They could have said less than a third or a fourth if the number was going to be that low. In any case, I wouldn't read a whole lot into that statement.

And Nick did say earlier that some of the Universals will be Blu-only and some duals.

[HJackson]

ISLAND OF LOST SOULS is a Universal title too, no? In which case we have seven, at most, to speculate on.

[swo17]

Yes, when I said we already know about four Universals, I was referring to Two-Lane Blacktop, Repo Man, Ruggles, and Island.

Hitchcock= "Heavyweight" + "Giddy" = Vertigo + Universal deal. Years of cryptic crossword abuse or am I right here?

Do I get to win the raffle?

That's the kind of none too subtle clue that used to appear in rep cinema programmes in the early 1980s, before the Hitchcock Five (Rope, Rear Window, The Trouble With Harry, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Vertigo) were officially reissued - a bit like the Scala Cinema's now notorious "timely and fruitful surprise" that ended up in an expensive copyright lawsuit.

Well I wasn't claiming membership of MENSA or anything. It seems from peerpee's latest note on the other thread that it was wrong anyway so I don't get the cuddly toy.

[Finch]

Maybe Universal let them have Shadow of a Doubt instead which would be sweet.

edit: just saw perpee's note, ah well, was hoping that they'd at least get their mittens on the likes of Shadow..

[HJackson]

Seeing an MoC release of another TOUCH OF EVIL grade classic like VERTIGO would be sweet, and I'm sure the result would be perfect, but I'm not really too fussed about Hitchcock. I doubt Universal would fudge up those films too badly judging by the quality of their PSYCHO Blu.

This is being overseen by Eureka. MoC folk are on Twitter.

Twitter:

We've pencilled in January 24th as our announcement date for Q2 releases (April, May, June). This may change, but it's currently accurate!

[Calvin]

Two completely impenetrable graphical teasers coming up for our forthcoming announcements on Jan 24th... Really cruel, sorry!

[eerik]

This is a detail from the finished cover art of one of our forthcoming April releases:

And one from June:

[Calvin]

Just an observation: doesn't the font on the April teaser match the A FILM BY ORSON WELLES font on Touch of Evil?

EDIT: It does but it's not a Welles film according to Eureka

[Dick Laurent]

The green one reminds me of Magnificent obsession, more exactly the criterion cover, it's Universal so it's possible, but the font doesn't seem right.

MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION was the first thought that crossed my mind, and they used a similar (although less thick) font for THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW, but I think the thought crossed my mind simply because I want it to be true.

It would be amazing if this were to happen [-o< [-o<

Aren't most his movies presented as "Directed by Douglas Sirk" or something along those lines? I'm nowhere near my collection right now so i can't check. Some Sirk on Blu would be great though!

[Flanell]

I really don't know what i was thinking just now. For some reason i thought of the screencaps of opening credits. Oh well...
