A brand new 4K transfer will be released by Twilight Time in 2017.

Good news, this is.

Great news, and well worth waiting for. Sony takes their time and produces excellent HD remasterings. I had heard a rumor that HARDCORE was being remastered about 6 months before TT announced the release. I assume that TT is waiting for a Sony remastering of THE THREE WORLDS OF GULLIVER, but I have no actual proof of that.

Oh, yes. Oh yes indeed.

Akijama · 07-03-2016, 09:06 PM

Excellent film.

Lots of great news for the fans of Elizabeth Taylor lately.

javi92 · 07-03-2016, 10:29 PM

Great news! Been waiting for this one. And a 4k scan too.

This is being released in Australia next month by Via Vision. No word yet on if this is the same 4K transfer that Twilight Time will be getting. Via Vision releases are generally playable worldwide though, but it may be wise to wait for reviews on that if you don't have Region Free capability.

Upcoming Via Vision Blu-ray Releases

More Elizabeth Taylor is never a bad thing. She was one of the most beautiful women to ever grace the Silver Screen!

BluPat · 08-07-2016, 12:06 AM

Yes! Will more than likely get the Australian release since i'm sure it will be much cheaper.

Jobla · 08-07-2016, 03:20 AM

I'll wait for the Twilight Time release.

Musicguy · 08-08-2016, 03:44 PM

Andrew, where are you????

Cvalda · 08-08-2016, 04:27 PM

Been years since I've seen this, but I've always loved Hepburn's monologue about the baby sea turtles. Although the "gobbling mouths" line that Taylor has to shoulder dives straight into camp. Calm down there, Tennessee.

I'm here and VERY excited!

I posted about the Australian release in the Aussie forum. I have it on preorder and will purchase the Twilight Time release as well.

That's a shame! Would that Criterion or Kino or even Olive got this title that I've waited for so long! How'd they grab this title? Worst news ever!!! You won't see a sale on this item until 2018.......

I'll be getting the AU release next month.

John_Drake · 08-11-2016, 03:12 AM

As will I.

I'm interested to see what sort of transfer this one gets.

theater dreamer · 08-14-2016, 03:49 AM

Immediate pre-order when it goes on sale. Can't wait to own this having just watched Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

eChopper · 09-23-2016, 05:24 AM

most scenes look like film then others you can't see the fine film grain

It's detailed , no EE and great greyscale and blacks

Watched on a voltage tweaked kuro krp500m

Encoded at an average of 22mbps

Got from JB hi fi here in Australia

Fingers crossed for Katharine Hepburn in her elevator throne.
