4k Restoration of "Only Angels Have Wings" at London Film Festival- October 2014

[atfree]

News of this is already in the International section, but thought I'd put a thread in the North American forum too.

Sony has done a 4K restoration of Howard Hawks' "Only Angels Have Wings", which will premiere next month at the LFF:

Nothing for sure on a BD release, but a lot of these recent 4k restorations are making their way to BD shortly after their showing at film festivals, i.e., the Capra restorations shown earlier this year and now we have both "It Happened One Night" and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" coming to BD before the end of 2014. Hopefully, this bodes well for this classic too.

I dearly hope this one comes via Criterion if a blu release is in the cards. Also, I need more Rita Hayworth in 1080p in my life.

This thread belongs either in wish list or film section.

People should stop creating threads based solely on tidbits about new restorations. Yes, it's a good omen, but blu-ray could be years away.

Wasn't this considered to be a clue in this year's Criterion newsletter?

Confirmed to be coming to Blu-ray by way of TCM
