Those were getting announced separately, maybe they’re going back to that cadence?

David M. is his handle on this forum, he is know for his work as Fidelity in Motion (FiM), for being a hotshot encoder that gets legitimately great results. Thus you see his name (or his company's) being bandied around here and there as a mark of quality.

Precisely, very happy that EYES WIDE SHUT and THE COMPLETE KUBRICK were the start of a new relationship. (As previously confirmed, he's working on THE RIGHT STUFF.)

Side note: He is not doing NASHVILLE like I had thought he might be.

Looks like SCARECROW is actually coming from Cinématographe! https://www.instagram.com/p/De11K6Wh3Te/

Hopefully Jerry Schatzberg supervised it so there'll be a more film-like color grade.

Huh, Justin LaLiberty said there weren't going to be any WB titles in the Cinematographe line this year.

VinSyn are known for that type of "that's incorrect" stuff when it's 100% correct. I remember people said a VinSyn employee kept saying that November title wasn't LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR when it obviously was.

But this is 100% Max's sister's house in SCARECROW: https://imgur.com/a/dmUngEC

Also set in Denver (so matches the song clue) and fits the "70s masterpiece" tease from earlier this year.
