Almost forty minutes of deleted scenes? Wow. Very excited to see these.

New-to-Blu are:

Carousel (1956)
The King and I (1956)
Oklahoma (1955) (2 Versions - Todd-AO and Cinemascope)
State Fair (1945) (per cover art pic on right side) (unclear if this also has the 1962 film)

These will also presumably get individual releases, whether day-and-date or later in a scattered schedule (like the Kazan titles) remains to be seen.
Street date is 4/29/14

Will the restored cut be included in HD? When they screened a new DCP at Film Forum, it was the theatrical cut. I would love to have this in HD, but without the restoration, I doubt I'll pick it up - I've seen this film several times and I've only returned to it for the restored cut.

Amazon Japan says the disc will have the commentary and trailer. Both were on the DVD. Nothing about the preview version or the documentary from the DVD version.

The Todd-AO version of Oklahoma! is presented in 2.20:1 and 1080i at 30 fps (the Todd-AO norm).
Interesting

There's no other way to treat 30fps material. It's quite possible it's real progressive content merely flagged as 1080i though (I wonder if there is a sure way to confirm that from the disc?).

Any reason why they would leave State fair (1962) out? They still own the movie, right?

I've seen this last month and it is a nice upgrade, though bonus-less.

It's arguably Payne's most popular film in the U.S. Only The Descendants grossed a little bit more, and it needed an A-list star. Anyway, it did get a lot of love when it came out, I remember that, but I like it a lot less these days - I still think Election is hands down Payne's best film.

It's definitely his most, "oh I remember that," film selling for probably the same reason As Good as it Gets sells well.

What better way to commemorate a 10th anniversary than with an unnecessary new release adding little but a de rigueur cover of the "artificial-looking pic of actors against a white void" type?

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel? It makes you want to say "such a nice movie!" and pat it on the head, but it's certainly not on the level of other films in the collection.

As usual, surely the main criterion was commercial appeal which all those films had to a considerable extent.

Man, I didn't realize 12 Years a Slave grossed $187 million worldwide. Scary.

It did REALLY well here in the UK - close to £20 million or so which is very impressive. The first couple of months of the year have traditionally seen Oscar catch up time, and seems to be the favoured release period for older skewing films - but the success of this and Wolf of Wall Street (Scorsese's highest UK gross and the top 18 certificate film) caught most people by surprise.

The longer director's cut is actually a pretty good film. If only Fox would port the full version of their excellent 4-disc special edition DVD to Blu-ray.
