I wouldn't be surprised if both are announced for October dates

Why can't they be like Arrow, 88 etc and announce things months in advance.

I'm expecting Basic Instinct to be delivered later this afternoon.

West 11 is out on 5th July.

A brand-new restoration of Michael Winner's 1963 crime drama WEST 11, starring Alfred Lynch, Kathleen Breck, Eric Portman and the inimitable Diana Dors.

Based on the novel The Furnished Room by Laura Del-Rivo and filmed on location in Notting Hill, Michael Winners foray into British social realism sees an authentic portrayal of the grittier, darker side of West London in the 60s. Joe Beckett, seasoned citizen of the bed-sitter belt is the renegade son of middle-class parents and as he himself describes it, 'an emotional leper'. He decides that he needs a violent shock to shake him back into life and as a result accepts a criminal commission from a man he meets in a coffee bar.

Extras:

Interview with Film Historian Matthew Sweet
Original Theatrical Trailer

I have the earlier Network dvd and can recommend it as a film if anyone's interested. Especially if anyone is a fan of Michael Winner

Ah fair enough. Surprised there is another release so soon.

Apparently, the previous release was just a digital clean-up of an old master (probably 2K).

This new restoration will be a 4K master which you need for a UHD. Obviously another bluray will be released in tandem with the UHD release.

I've been tactically holding off buying some SC titles ever since the Carpenter restorations knowing that SC were actively engaged in remastering many of their tent-pole titles for 4K.

I'm thinking it's a good bet that Jacob's Ladder will be another future project.
