Both that and this movie are Via Vision Imprint releases. With this announcement there's a good chance Dead Again could see a statewide release as well.

I pre-ordered the Aussie release. It may get released here in the States eventually, but who knows if it'll have the two DVD-era commentary tracks, or it'll be featureless, like most of these belated, budget-line Paramount releases.

I hope this eventual US release includes the original mono mix. The Imprint/Via Vision only includes that garbage "5.1" remix from the DVD and a 2.0 down-mix. The 4K master is generally fine though the first 30 minutes seem to be from a dupier source and the "management" reminds me a bit of Fox's B&W Kazan films.

Speaking of that Kazan set, how do Man on a Tightrope and Pinky look? Those are the two that aren't available elsewhere. And does A Tree Grows in Brooklyn look any better than Eureka's release which has DNR and contrast issues?

I haven't given either a spin yet but I'll report back in the Kazan set thread. I did look at "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" and it's the exact same master that Eureka used.

I would think it's unlikely that Paramount would put such a big title out on a budget line release. I'm sure if it gets a release at all from them, it would be a Paramount Presents, or at least an anniversary edition.
