"The African Queen" may be coming from Paramount on Blu-ray - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

I'm wondering, for this restoration, are they going to use various prints made of the film or are they going to actually restore the original camera negative?

Preorder is up.....with a price.

Announcement soon?

Smells like another SAPPHIRE SERIES release to me.

What do you mean not come to DVD yet?It's for sale in several versions on amazon (uk site)

I suppose they should have said not available on Region 1 DVD. And unfortunately as you probably know. Region free players are much more difficult to come by in the United States than in other parts of the world.

LOL! One of these days, somebody is going to announce a new release and someone in the thread won't say, "I sure hope they don't screw this up by DNRing it!"
