Sony Supreme Cinema Series
Entertainment Weekly has the details on the new Bram Stoker's Dracula Blu-ray, which is "the first of the Supreme Cinema Series, a new collection of “Clear Case” limited-edition discs from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment." (cover art is, of course, atrocious.) On the plus side, it has the old Criterion laserdisc commentary.

It will also be a new 4K remaster, and will likely address a number of issues found on the previous Blu-ray (I believe the retention of the original subtitles is already confirmed, instead of the player generated ones the last disc had).

Re: Columbia Classics
God, I remember when that film came out. The impression I got was very mixed, at least among the critics. Oscar nominations were a solid indicator that people liked the production, and it did have a decent box office gross, but not exactly loved.
It's not a great film, but I'm tempted to say it's under appreciated. It's possibly the only Coppola film I'd revisit post-Apocalypse Now.

Well, I'm anxious to see the new 4k extended remaster of The Cotton Club, which will hopefully include some very expensive musical numbers that were cut out at the last minute. Tucker is a genuinely great film, and at least you don't have to put it on mute and enjoy it like a silent film a la Dracula.

Re: Columbia Classics
Actually that's a pretty common criticism of Dracula which does function in a pseudo silent grammar. If anything that seems like a complimentary take on the material and Tucker is a legit great film.

Tucker is extraordinary, we are agreed.

Re: Columbia Classics
I remember an end of year round up review programme on the BBC which had John Boorman and two or three others (one of whom might have been Freddie Francis) discussing their favourite films of the year - Boorman chose Dracula for that very reason.knives wrote:Actually that's a pretty common criticism of Dracula which does function in a pseudo silent grammar.

Re: Sony Supreme Cinema Series
Isn't this the same gimmick as the "Superbit" editions that Sony released during the DVD era? Releases that barely had better image and sound but lacked in extras and were incredibly overpriced.

Re: Sony Supreme Cinema Series
In this case, we're talking about replacing early BDs by some sourced from brand new 4K restorations. The upgrade should be sizable.

Re: Sony Supreme Cinema Series
No, "Mastered in 4K" was the equivalent of "Superbit". These "Supreme Cinema" releases have special features, booklets, deluxe packaging.dx23 wrote:Isn't this the same gimmick as the "Superbit" editions that Sony released during the DVD era?
