More John Wayne or Bogart blu-rays?

[stsmedia]

Anyone aware of any announcements about upcoming John Wayne or Humphrey Bogart films coming to blu-ray, either this year or next?

Seems like its been a little bit quiet this year for releases for both. I did just pick up Wayne's "A Lady Takes a Chance"...good flick. But I haven't heard anything new coming out for next year. Hoping for releases of "The Shootist" for Wayne and "Sahara" for Bogie soon.

I believe Kino have 3 John Wayne titles in their new Universal deal.

The Shootist needs a blu ray release.

Easily his most wanted title for me.

My three most wanted Wayne's are, 3 Godfathers, The Alamo & In Harm's Way (Warner, MGM & Paramount).

Apparently it’s physically impossible to restore the missing footage from The Alamo in HD .

Did they ever specify three? I know they said they had a few titles in the new deal.

I know that they won't touch The War Wagon, Hellfighters or Rooster Cogburn.

I'd be satisfied with The Sons Of Katie Elder for John Wayne coupled with what I have.

That's a shame, but I don't mind too much. I'd just love a great looking Blu-ray of the version I saw at the cinema way back in 1961.

Sahara (Bogart) and The Alamo (Wayne) for me - I've already reconciled myself with the fact that we'll never get the roadshow version of the latter, but they could at least put it out in its current form.

Hatari! was one of my favorites as a kid. I wouldn’t give 50 cents for the current transfer.

I hope somebody is in the process of making a new master for it.

Rumor has it that Criterion has The Long Voyage Home (1940). I would love to see them release that. I am hoping that Kino acquired the rights for The Conqueror with their latest deal. Plus 1 on Hatari ! I would love a remaster with extras....

If we are making wish lists...

For John Wayne

Seven Sinners
Shepherd of the Hills (I have the one from France)
Tall in the Saddle
The Alamo
Donovan's Reef
The Shootist.

A remastered Hatari! would be most welcome in my collection. My favorite John Wayne movie.

The amazon prime version(HD) of "The Alamo" looks terrific. I´ve never seen the movie in that great quality but it´s the shorter version of the movie.

More Bogart on BD is always welcome!

[stsmedia]

Great responses from everyone. As long as the list-making is underway, I'd like to see the following on blu for each actor:

Wayne:
Haunted Gold (one of the few of Wayne's really early "b" westerns that I'd like to see on blu)
The Long Voyage Home (hope Criterion does indeed have the rights to this!)
Back to Bataan
Operaton Pacific
The Alamo
The Shootist

Bogart:
High Sierra
Sahara
Sirocco (I'm probably alone on this one but I really like the film)
Battle Circus
The Left Hand of God

Aren’t you lucky ?

From what I understand, the extra footage was transferred to 480i video, but that’s the best we can ever get because the actual film stock of the extra footage is now too degraded to be restored or even used .

No idea about coding but for the two posters above asking for The Shootist (Wayne) and Left Hand Of God (Bogart) - they're out in Germany and France respectively. Both look terrific.
