You can all thank me, I just bought this on Criterion DVD last week at full retail.

EDIT: Release date AUGUST 18 2014

Technically speaking, it could be Roeg' most challenging work: the editing and the use of music is very remarkable - it also features a short passage from Jarrett's great Koln Concert The cover art is also great, 'cause one of the first sequences, if I remember correctly, takes place in a museum where paintings of Klimt are displayed, and that cover is quite Klimt-esque.
Do we have a date?

More Roeg?! I'm sold! After seeing Don't Look Now and Walkabout I was hoping to see more Roeg films and glad they're coming on on blu-ray. Will we see ever see Performance come out over here though? I recently got Optimum's The Man Who Fell To Earth but haven't watched it yet.

Great to see more Roeg. Hopefully Network put some more extras on there though - an interview with Roeg (even ported from the Criterion) or any of the main cast would be great.

[nitin]

cant see Criterion putting it out anytime soon, so go Network!

Raise The Titanic

[Funktion]

Great to see more Roeg titles available on BD.
I find his work fascinating, and unfortunately severely under-represented on BD in Europe.

Quite a few great announcements by Network, especially for the price.

To add to the titles previously referenced, they are also releasing The Legend of the Lone Ranger, and Raise the Titanic.

EDIT: beaten by the blob.

[OceanBlue]

Two further Blu-ray film titles have been added to Network's website - The Legend of the Lone Ranger and Raise the Titanic.

Am hoping Network's transfer will be a fresh transfer with some restoration work done. Of what I've seen so far, their Blu-rays of The Man Who Haunted Himself and Perfect Friday look very good. Interesting sounding extras for Raise the Titanic. Wondering if Network might be able to find (if they're not lost) the deleted scenes mentioned on the IMDb alternate versions page for Raise the Titanic.

EDIT: New titles already posted about above.

Pre-ordered Bad Timing on Amazon. If it's anything like the recent Network titles it'll drop below a tenner before release!

Just saw the news that Bad Timing was coming out! I am really excited for this film on BLU! There is just something about the movie. I think it is probably Theresa Russell's best work, I remember seeing the Criterion DVD years ago and the movie surprised me.

[Patient-X]

Great news about Bad Timing, pre-ordered.

And Pachelbel's beautiful Canon in D Major.

You can get the Warner Archives release of Performance from Amazon US. I ordered it recently and it only took 3 days to arrive, the transfer is fantastic too.

Added Bad Timing, Raise The Titanic and Legend Of The Lone Ranger to the OP, thanks all

Network really are on a roll, I had the French version of The Monster Club on order but I'd rather give Network the sale.

Gladly pick up most of these new announcements!

For those that didn't know, Lone Ranger was cut previously for horse falls, something which I doubt the BBFC will waive for this release (not something that bothers me in all honesty).
