Isn't that Ruggles of Red Gap? That's certainly Maude Eburne on the left. We know that's coming.

That is Ruggles of Red Gap. It's the dinner scene from the last act of the film.

The Pirates maybe?French blu is OOP.

If that's true I hope it's Repulsion.

"Repulsion" is already out in the UK, so almost certainly you won't get that.

Yes, Odeon have it, and their version only came out in 2010, so I'm guessing they have the rights for a good few years yet.

Of course it could be a limited blu only release? Doubt it though.

Personally, I'd be happy with any pre-1980's Polanski on blu.

Could Chinatown in the UK be coming out via MoC?

As far as I'm aware, Paramount owns it worldwide, so it would depend on whether they'd struck a deal.

This is the second UK DVD release - Anchor Bay originally released it in 2003.

Just tweeted:

Very exciting! Sod the Oscars, this is today's big announcement.

Steve_Hills: Talking of OSCAR nominations, there may be a few films in our announcement that were OSCAR nominated? Could even be a film that won some?

April 2012 - 3 editions altogether... i.) UGETSU MONOGATARI / OYU-SAMA DF upgrade, ii.) SANSHO DAYU / GION BAYASHI DF upgrade...

April 2012 (cont.) iii.) Three films by Alfred Hitchcock: LIFEBOAT (1944) inc. AVENTURE MALGACHE and BON VOYAGE all in 1080p - Dual Format.

One more thing... (R.I.P. Steve) -- We're over the moon to be able to announce that late last year we acquired all UK & Irish rights to...

My jaw has just dropped. Amazing. It's going to be a long year waiting on this now! Congratulations MoC on getting it.

We so so so excited!

Good set of announcements, especially the Wilders and Dreyer. Smart to go for a Fox Hitchcock instead of a Universal too. Always enjoyed LIFEBOAT, and I doubt Fox would have gotten to it for a while. Shame we didn't get cover art with the announcements this time, though.
