There are some great upcoming releases here in Australia that might interest you.
A few notables due, at this stage, in March are Fletch (1985), Fletch Lives (1989), Criss Cross (1949 - a world first on bluray) and The Day of the Jackal (1973 - again a world first). There also appears to be a chance that we will see Scarlet Street (1945 - a great Fritz Lang noir), A Touch of Evil (1958 - a great noir by Orson Welles) and possibly The Third Man (1949) all of which are great films.
Looking ahead a bird is whispering Star Wars: Rogue One looks for April 2017 and this year being the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) it has been going round that Disney have created a new 4K scan of the film but no news as to whether we will see a new Bluray release or if it is of the original version of Star Wars or the George Lucas approved version.
Talking of uncertainties, there is still the hope that the James Cameron hits The Abyss (1989 - a new 4K scan/restoration) and True Lies (1994) will be released later this year (hinted back in 2016 for a 2017 release) and I'm sure they will go like hotcakes.
That's all for now :)
It would be really interesting to see the original version of Star Wars...doesn't George Lucas know that's what the fans desperately want?????
ReplyDeleteI have heard that it was part of the contract that the original does not get released, but who knows Disney may release it anyway ;)
