Forbidden Planet was a Criterion laserdisc. I wonder if they would go after it for 4K now.

There wasn't anything on the Criterion laserdisc other than deleted scenes, a gallery of production and publicity photos, and the original screen treatment. Those would all need to be recreated for a 4K release.

Scaramouche, another former Criterion laserdisc which had a commentary track, is something I'd like to see.

at this point it's a game to figure out what's coming from Criterion (or Arrow) versus Warner themselves. I am honestly surprised Warner ended up doing both Boogie Nights and Magnolia themselves, figuring at least one would go CC. similarly, I'm not sure I would've pegged Criterion down for Captain Blood but of course, it's coming. Gone With the Wind is rightfully the headliner, as I was worried that Warner was going to bury it entirely. it'll be stunning in 4K, I personally really love the film and would kill to see WB bring back all the original extras from the 4 disc DVD set too, but they've been really bad about doing that in the Bluray/4K era (see also The Wizard of Oz)

Warner has been trying to get Cuaron to sign off on a new HDR 4K master of Gravity for several years now, so we'll see if it finally happens.

Has this been confirmed to be coming?

I imagine they could rebuild a 3D 4K master, but is that something that will ever happen on physical media?

Wrong thread.

"Wrong thread?" Whatever pal.

In other news, I just noticed Twilight Zone: The Movie was back in-print on Blu-ray as of three months ago. WB is likely pressing the same exact disc, but it's still welcome news as it was going for pretty exorbitant prices.
