This DCP has been around for a while and the bd was from the same 4k master.

Well nevermind. Looks like I was wrong lol.

I remember reading Robert Harris said the negatives were horrible shape and likely could not be scanned again back when that ancient VC-1 BD came out so chances are this will either be sourced from the same raw scan or even the same base restoration as that disc but obviously will be an improvement given HVEC + AVC and all being encoded by FiM.

It was me: I'm the one who just bought a copy of the overpriced Digibook bluray.

Apologies if asked before but do we think that William Greaves' ONCE UPON A TIME IN HARLEM will be released by Criterion after it makes its theatrical run???

It's certainly possible. Criterion has released several films distributed by Neon, they have an existing relationship with Greaves, and Janus Films has distribution rights to a bunch of Greaves' films.

Of the major festival movies this year that Neon is distributing, I think that the Hamaguchi, Mungiu, and Greaves films are all likely to get Criterion releases next year, consider Criterion's relationship with Neon and their prior releases of those directors' works.
