I have friends in MGM's technical department. From what I heard, Friedkin was easy to work with and generally satisfied with MGM's initial pass on the transfer, only requesting a couple of changes.Person wrote:Nice. I believe that he always supervises transfers, but it is good to get confirmation. How did you come by this info, btw? An official announcement for the pretty-much-comfirmed SE of Sorceror from Universal would be great.Jameson281 wrote:Friedkin supervised and approved the new transfer, but I don't believe there are any extras on the disc.Person wrote:The Night They Raided Minsky's has been a-long time coming. Hopefully, it has a Friedkin commentary.

Re: Forthcoming MGM titles
At least Halloween can still be relied on for a couple of catalog horror releases: Philip Kaufman's 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers (for my money, the best version) and Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead. Blu-ray, September 14.

Any word on whether these will be in any way improved from the previous DVD incarnations, Matt?

Ooh, Return of the Living Dead on Blu, that's getting me excited in all sorts of ways.

Don't know if this is the correct thread, but Sony will be distributing MGM's output on Blu Ray

Re: Forthcoming MGM titles
I wonder how that will affect the Criterion titles licensed from MGM, although they have relationship with Sony too.

Re: Forthcoming MGM titles
I think I read Fox wants to keep the relationship going, only if they have the DVD/BR rights to the next Bond film.
