Milestone have put together a pretty comprehensive 65 page press kit for this release, to be found as a pdf here. The poster artwork is rather lovely and is copyrighted '2015 Milestone Film and Video'... They would appear to mean business regarding a prospective BR, but there is no specific mention of the same as yet...

Yes Spanish release ois the restored 4K version but unfortunately has only Spanish subtitles. My Spanish is good enough but will prefer waiting for UK release or Criterion.

Masters of Cinema (Eureka) will be releasing it sometime in 2016.

I got an e-mail from Amazon today telling me that the item is delayed, and will now be delivered on the 19th of December!

It has been cancelled altogether. BFI confirmed it on Twitter when I asked them, and they took the Amazon listing down as well as removing any mention of it from their website. They admitted Eureka still had the rights, and Eureka themselves have since confirmed they will be releasing it sometime in 2016 as part of Masters of Cinema (the same restoration).
