Chances of Hitchcock "Masterpiece" movie reissues? - Blu-ray Forum

St.ylo · 02-06-2014, 11:50 PM

I see that while some of the movies in the Masterpiece Collection received good scores for their picture quality, some got scores ranging from mediocre to downright bad, especially Family Plot, which received a 0.5/5.

I'm interested in buying the Masterpiece Collection, but I'm curious: what are the chances of some of these movies being re-released any time soon (I suppose there's no chance of a recall/reissue of the box set itself at this point, which is what the review for Family Plot calls for)? I know Family Plot isn't a particularly popular movie, but I'm curious. I suppose if there were a chance I could cherry pick the great Blu-rays from the bunch and stick with Family Plot, Frenzy, etc, on DVD until later.

It'd be very nice to have "definitive" copies of all these movies on Blu-ray.

Little to no chance.

In the current disc climate I wouldn't expect a reissue of anything that isn't a super popular genre item.

Universal; second-tier Hitchcock? Slim to none.
