Bill Hunt is reporting that Singing' in the Rain, Camelot, Whatever Happened To Baby Jane will be coming to BR in 2012.

Fantastic! Singin' in the Rain will be an immediate purchase from me, and I'll probably check out Camelot since I've never seen it and enjoy collecting musicals.

Singin' in the Rain's 2002 restoration looked very good when embedded into That's Entertainment, so I can only imagine what this new (4K?) master will produce.

Beard Esquire · 11-30-2010, 11:27 PM

Glorious! Added to the calendar.

Rudeboy2025 · 11-30-2010, 11:30 PM

That's too far away!! Singin' In the Rain is the only musical that I loved!

The Blu Knight · 11-30-2010, 11:35 PM

Aww... why do they have to be so far away!?! Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is a must have for me.

Arkadin · 11-30-2010, 11:58 PM

great news!
I knew "Singing...." would be coming sooner rather than later.
The main title I want from Warner is "Giant", as the dvd is non-anamorphic and looks terrible.
Surely they will release all the James Dean films at some point right?

Catalog restoration of movie classics is gathering momentum at long last and movie studios (with our support) are beginning to see the benefit of their investments.

60th Anniversary Edition Blu-Ray release of Singin' in the Rain
45th Anniversary Edition Blu-Ray release of Camelot
50th Anniversary Edition Blu-Ray release of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane

It is true - all being released in 2012. Well worth the wait and the anticipation. Thank you Warner for keeping up your commitment to classic catalog blu-ray restoration releases.

I've been looking forward to Singin' in the Rain for quite some while! Can't wait to get this on blu!

Yes to Singin' in the rain. Been waiting for ages for this to hit blu-ray.

Er....Might want to rent it first.

Lerner & Lowe had some historically bad luck with other movie musicals besides My Fair Lady--Camelot wasn't their biggest disaster at the B.O., but it's pretty well the definition of "dreary", and is often credited as one of the coffin nails of late-60's musicals.

(Still, with Warner's Ultra-remasters, we knew Singin' was when, not if.)

i for one am glad its 2012 as 2011 looks like a pricey enough year as it is, will have to choose between wine and films (shame as they go so well together) lol

Baby Jane was scary when I was a kid.

I've been waiting for Singin In The Rain forever. One of my favorite movies of all time.

OneWayFilms · 12-01-2010, 04:57 PM

Singing in teh Rain would be day 1 for me, but I will be checking reviews before buying Baby Jane. I have the DVD and it better be a REAL upgrade for me to upgrade.

PowellPressburger · 12-01-2010, 04:57 PM

It is cool to get a classic like What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? on blu... I would love to also see Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? on Blu and also KLUTE!

Klute is a film that will have lots of grain.

I hope that CBS issues My Fair Lady after all the restoration work WB had done with it but then lost the rights. And on TCM, I saw a gorgeous print of Around the World in 80 Days...WB should get that out on Blu ASAP (if they still have the rights to it).

bboisvert · 12-01-2010, 09:03 PM

The Man Who Would Be King is one that is ripe for Warner to revisit.

Russell_L · 12-01-2010, 09:03 PM

I'm glad to finally see some Bette Davis (as well as Joan Crawford) on Blu. (Can't wait until 2012, though....)

WB should do a double-title release at the time: "Gypsy" and "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" since there is a connection story-wise.
