I wonder if they're saving I Know Where I'm Going! for February.

Hoping for Double Team 4K again.

I miss the days when announcement time was always at 12:00 PM ET exactly.

[DukeTogo84]

Curious to see if they will be delayed. I think last month they weren't delayed right? I know there were a few months in a row, but can't really remember from last month.

They announced on twitter they'll come today (with an image from Europa), and a page for Element of Crime was updated so it should be today.

Well, that's good news that I somehow missed. Sounds like a Lars Von Trier boxset might be happening then.

[MifuneFan]

Don't think it was mentioned, but the page for Europa was also updated with new stills and trailer. It looks really great. I wonder if it'll be a 4K set, or maybe a mixed set, with Europa on 4K, and Element of Crime, and Epidemic on BD?

The new restoration matches it perfectly, and the old restoration was awfully neutralised.

If that isn't enough, blue shares the same DP with The Double Life of Veronique, which also has a very yellowy look to it, so I have no doubt that it is correct.

Hmm....

The titles went down, it seems.

[MifuneFan]

Yeah, that was weird. I noticed Baron Munchhausen had no details on extras on its page, so maybe that has something to do with it.

[yoloswegmaster420]

I think they uploaded it too early since they took the listings down.

[Mister_Kidd]

I hope this opens the floodgates on Terry Gilliam in 4K.
