Universal put out a ragged master with bad bake lines, halos and a smudgy wax job.

Criterion should do this one, forget their usual aesthetic. This one needs saving and super supplements as a market apology.

-"SCIENCE!" All new behind the scenes look at the extensive remastering/color correction process for the Weird Science blu ray!
-"Where the Boys are '17" - Feature length documentary on the making of Weird Science featuring brand new interviews with Anthony Michael Hall, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Kelly LeBrock, Bill Paxton and more!
-"From the Archives" - 55 min interview with John Hughes (presented by Nancy Ludwig, from her personal vaults. Never aired.Originally recorded for 60 Minutes)

I wish criterion would release more silent movies, but I guess we have Kino Lorber to take care of that.

pLease explain the transfer process for getting this absolute maximum bitrate onto blu ray fr this film.

Just a quick behind the scenes vid?

Re: Criterion Fantasies

Criterion(or Arrow/Eureka) giving Come and See a proper release.

Criterion 1000 is coming out...here are my/most popular guesses

Metropolis (1927) - fully restored

2001 A Space Odyssey - to continue the Kubrick run

Citizen Kane - cause apparently they own it...

I'll take the studio channel 4K release ahead of that though, I'd guess Criterion might have offered a few more(or newer) extras but its a film were UHD adds significantly IMHO.

I am supprised that nobody has given Jonathan Glazers's Birth a HD/BR release and you'd think that would be right up criterions alley as a cult film were the director would probably be willing to be involved with a commentary or other extras.

I'm already getting my wish, and pre-ordered:
