So, some films had news and buzz and then stopped.. I am trying to see what I come up with...

The Wicker Man (1973): I just learned of a new film called "The Wicker Tree" coming soon with Christopher Lee and the original director teaming up again... could this be a hint that the original 1973 "The Wicker Man" will have its RESTORATION done and released on Blu to coincide with it?? I really hope we get a pristine version with new footage ala "Metropolis" miracle...

The Legend Of Billie Jean: so, commentaries were recorded a few years back and there is a widescreen HD version floating around on the net.. it is/was streaming on Netflix for a while too. How much "getting used to the water" at the bathing suit line does a film need before it bites the bullet and jumps in the damn pool?

Anyone have an update of what's holding it back?
I can HOPE for Henry Thomas's film "The Quest" or "Electric Dreams", but at least Billie Jean has some walking legs already...

Transformers the Movie (1986 animated): I've been watching Shout Factory's site and it looks like there are lots of new TF releases coming soon but still no word of a Bluray like GI Joe. I have been holding off on the UK import for too long.. I may pick it up JUST so Murphy's law will make Shout Factory announce it as coming soon the day it arrives.

anyone else have updates on what's holding it back?

As for Star Wars... I just hope that fans boycott his Blurays and have screenings every day of the Star Wars Holiday Special and burn free copies for every living man woman and child until Lucas gives in and does the right thing... originals!! Anyone want to join me in a live theatrical play version of the Holiday special outside his window?
