Was really excited to see this as I had planned to import Extreme Prejudice & KTA&CBA.
One concern is that High Crime might not be the complete version, but rather a shorter by several minutes version. Due to the listed running time. Hope Studio Canal will clarify.

Well, Studio Canal already released the shorter version in France so it doesn't look good. I bought the excellent German blu-ray which has a complete version but of course doesn't have english subtitles for the Italian audio.

The other site has a listing of a German UHD release of The Driver (with HDR) for November 10th so it seems at least some European countries are getting a release as well as Australia.

Just sold my Twilight Time copy for $130. I am now ready to overpay for a UHD release.

Oh cool! Must be the new reconstruction. Very excited, the blu-rays are terrible.

I'm guessing that's their way of saying "we won't release this in the UK, and the US labels aren't interested in a 4K release", very kind of them

It might actually mean precisely the opposite and that the French disc has English subs because a UK release using the same discs might be planned.

StudioCanal doesn't have the US rights (Criterion's disc is licensed from Plaza Productions International.)
And I think tenia is likely correct that the engliah subs are included because StudioCanal is going to release it in the UK.

oops my bad. that works out though - I'd be extremely shocked if Criterion ever even considered this as a UHD title, considering it hasn't even seen a BD release

Luchino Visconti's 'Ludwig' is going to be released on 4K in France. You might want to skip this or hold onto the previous Arrow release as they are using a new 4K restoration that was done this year by L’Image Retrouvée.

An Essential Becker box is coming in the UK in November:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Essential-Beck ... s_li_ss_tl
It includes Casque d´or. Presumably it is taken from the new restoration.

John Gullermin's 1976 King Kong is getting a UK UHD release through Studio Canal, and despite what it looks like, it actually wasn't performed at Hiventy.
