I think a couple of the films couldn't be reissued for contractual reasons, but I imagine at least The Tall T will be one of the ones that does become available.gcgiles1dollarbin wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 6:17 pmFive Tall Tales is now sold out.

The Tall T and Comanche Station are not to be reissued.

Maybe the answer to this is obvious, but why were other Boetticher and Scott movies not included in this set? Different studio and therefore current rights-holders?

This seems to have started as a port of the American set so that's probably why, though yes a number of the other films are with different studios at least in the US.

The first, Seven Men from Now, was with Warner, but the rest were Columbia, except Westbound (1959), of which says Wiki:
The film was not a part of the Ranown cycle of Westerns for which Boetticher, Scott and Harry Joe Brown partnered; Scott owed Warners one picture from an old contract, so Boetticher volunteered to direct it himself so as to protect their brand. Although Boetticher never went so far as to disown the film, he felt it was not part of the series and would only discuss it outside of that context.
That being said, I'm really keen to see Seven Men released on blu.

Seven Men From Now was one of the last DVDs Paramount released themselves, actually

Westbound is the one I haven't seen but I keep thinking I should see it because it's on the marquee in Godard's Breathless.

Indicator just replied to someone's post on Twitter that all five films in the set will be released individually in July as standard editions.gcgiles1dollarbin wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 6:17 pmFive Tall Tales is now sold out.
