I’m so confused as to why we still have not been heard anything. Would have assumed they would announce right at noon

[zackisthewalrus]

I assume they’re waiting for cover art approval for one of the titles. That’s usually the hold-up (November 2020 and July 2022).

That’s the wrong Shakespeare. I need Olivier’s Hamlet for my Best Picture collection.

[jshaide]

Eh

[DukeTogo84]

Nice! Another slot wasted on something that Sony released themselves in a set this year and already has a nice BD. Same with Cronos and Performance.

[tama]

Looks like just Drugstore Cowboy for me. Already have punch drunk love in the Sony CC set and will probably opt for the BFI of Cronos.

[El Sleezo]

Performance being here makes me hope they have Baby Jane if WA doesn’t prep it for 4K themselves.

[Gacivory]

Well everyone can suck it! I’ve been waiting for about 20 years for a Criterion of Godard’s King Lear! Also happy to see Criterion went back to the Cannon Films well!

Yeah, this being a true WAC release (as in no prior WHV before it like Shaft) really opens up some possibilities here. It was speculated that WAC weren't licensing out stuff they had released on BD already.
