Edge, blu-ray.com just gave an excellent review to Olive's High Noon release.

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/High-Noon-Blu-ray/43719/#Review

It is one of the few pre-orders you can do right now and it will allow the 10% coupon. I am going to get it and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

filmlover, the USA Hitchcock box set looks more appealing since its not a clunky box. I do have NORTH BY NORTHWEST and PSYCHO in BR and the set is a little pricey. So I will wait and see. Thanx for the info on the Olive releases. I have to make up my mind by Sunday if I want to order.

Yes I read that, I meant at some point would they be available as individual discs. I might get the box set if the price is right - love the design.
I wish North by Northwest wasnt on the set since I have the digibook and the DVD from the Hitchcock set which I may part with with movies getting released from it ( Strangers on a Train and Dial M for MONEY
:)

More Hiitchcock news...this time from WB...including Dial M For Murder --- IN 3D!!!!!





Release info from WB:

Burbank, Calif., June 22, 2012 – *Dial M for Murder, *Alfred Hitchock’s suspense classic, was among the first films that helped Warner Bros. introduce 3D in U.S. theatres in the early ‘50s. Now, thanks to advanced Blu-ray™ technology and the tireless efforts of Warner Bros.’ Motion Picture Imaging (MPI) division, Warner Home Video has meticulously and painstakingly restored the original 3D presentation, and, when Dial M for Murder Blu-ray 3D debuts October 9, audiences will finally be able to see the film in their homes as it was originally meant to be seen. A 2D version will also be included for those who have yet to upgrade TVs and players to 3D. Dial M for Murder Blu-ray 3D will be priced at $35.99 SRP.

To ready *Dial M for Murder *for this current release, MPI’s work included a 4K scan of the original camera negative, and a full restoration of the two “eyes,” as well as convergence fixes to ensure perfect alignment.

Said Jeff Baker, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Theatrical Catalog,

“Given the current trend toward 3D, we’re delighted to be releasing this authentic classic 3D. This is not a conversion from 2D to 3D, but an original work, with a big tip of the cap to MPI, that illustrates just how good 3D can be. The Warner library has the largest number of classic 3D titles (15) of any studio and over the years we’ve been looking to release them, but not until now has the technology been perfected to the point we can do that. We’re hoping *Dial M for Murder *is the first of several classic 3D films to be released, with the long-awaited, much requested “House of Wax” expected next.”

Updated info:

There has been some more information come out about the set. The picture in the first post below is, apparently, what the UK set will look like.

The U.S. set is to look like this:



The U.S. set will also have one more movie in it, North by Northwest.

Personally, I am glad to see a box set come out where most of the titles will be new to Blu, instead of just grabbing misc. titles that have already been released. In the case of the Hitchcock box set, 13 of the 15 titles will be new to Blu-ray.

In addition, the collection comes with a fifty-page book featuring storyboards, costume sketches, correspondence, and rare photographs.

Ugh, I hate this kind of packaging.

Vertigo better have its original soundtrack or I'm leaving this mess behind.

Another big clunky expensive set. I will settle for individual titles when and if they become available: REAR WINDOW, VERTIGO and THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH.

At the bottom of my post, I mentioned that at this time they will not be avaiulable individually, but after awhile I can't see them ignoring the extra sales they can get from individual titles.

At this time, it doesn't look like the titles will be available individually, but I am sure they will be eventually. And looking at the photo above, I can see one thing I don't like. It appears that the Blu discs are going to be in slots at the tops of the page. Even with Blu's protective coating, those kind of slots have scratched many a DVD.

filmlover, the site is take pre-orders for INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS and HIGH NOON but not yet for JOHNNY GUITAR. But the thing is I am not sure even if I want these titles. But the prices for this site are so much better than AMAZON.

edgecliff, I discovered a way to get Olive Films on Blu-ray at a good price. Go to the website for importcds below:

https://www.importcds.com

Most of the Olive Blu's are about $14.43. You will have to list each title individually to locate them, but here is a link to Blu-ray.com's listing all of the current titles:

http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=195802 (each picture on the second half of that first post is linked to the Blu-ray.com review.)

When you get to the order page, there is a place for a promo code. Use "save10" and you get 10% off. That brings the titles down to $12.99 each. There is a shipping charge of $1.49 per title, plus $1.50 handling amount on just the first one. They will also charge you tax if you are in California and on other state I can't recall, but all other states don't have to pay tax.

I ordered:
Geisha Boy
It's Only Money
The Mountain
Sands of the Kalahari

Total with shipping and tax: $64.03

So that is $16.01 per title.
