I think THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD will come from WAC. They seemed to be focused on all their technicolor films to upgrade.

I'm wondering if we'll see a 4k of Goodfellas or Blade Runner from Criterion since their WB 4ks have some room for improvement.

some WB titles released during their laserdiscs days that are still available:

King Kong
The Adventures of Robin Hood
Adam’s Rib
Bad Day at Black Rock
It will be great if Criterion release King King and Bad Day on 4K. However I think Warner Archive is going to release Robin Wood on 4K.

I remember a couple years ago Glenn Kenny mentioned on Twitter that he heard another Goodfellas release was possible.

Maybe they'll do another Lewton double bill though The Leopard Man needs a restoration desperately and Body Snatcher would be my second choice of what's left over.

I’d be more than happy to upgrade all of the other Val Lewton horror films if Criterion were to release them in 4K. That said, does The Leopard Man "desperately" need a new restoration? The 2019 Shout! Factory Blu-ray used a "4K Scan Of The Original Nitrate Camera Negative" and looked fantastic.

Richard Linklater has practically begged WB to do something with Suburbia.

I didn't even realize they released it, even though I have their Body Snatcher BD!
