Warner Archive has officially announced and detailed five upcoming releases: The Thing from Another World (1951), Mame (1974), A Christmas Story Live! (2017),Tarzan's Greatest Adventure (1959), and Longmire: The Sixth and Final Season. The releases will be available for purchase later this year.
The Thing from Another World
Synopsis: Arctic researchers discover a huge, frozen spaceling inside a crash-landed UFO, then fight for their lives after the murderous being (a pre-Gunsmoke James Arness) emerges from icy captivity. Will other creatures soon follow? The famed final words of this film are both warning and answer: "Keep watching the skies!" A snappy ensemble. An eerie theremin-infused Dimitri Tiomkin score. Rising suspense. Crisp Christian Nyby direction. All merge in an edgy classic produced by Howard Hawks (Bringing Up Baby, Rio Bravo) and filled with Hawksian trademarks of rapid-fire dialogue and of people united by do-or-die stress. Keep watching the skies and the screen. Don't miss a moment of "one of the best sci-fi thrillers of the '50s" (John Stanley, Creature Features).
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Mame
Synopsis: You're invited to party hearty – and in fabulous style – with this lavish 1974 screen version of the beloved Broadway musical. Lucille Ball brings star sparkle to the title role, a high-living grande dame who's outlandishly eccentric and, when suddenly faced with raising an orphaned nephew, fiercely loving. Veterans of the New York stage original join her: Beatrice Arthur as best friend Vera, Jane Connell as prim governessAgnes, choreographer Onna White and director Gene Saks. As Mame's husband Beauregard, Robert Preston (The Music Man) sings "Loving You," written specially for the film. Jerry Herman's songs, from "It's Today" to "We Need a Little Christmas" to "If He Walked into My Life," rank among the best show tunes ever. For a grand time, bring home Mame.

A Christmas Story Live!
Synopsis: A live musical event inspired by the perennial holiday movie favorite and the Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical production, A CHRISTMAS STORY LIVE! follows nine-year-old Ralphie Parker, who dreams of finding a genuine Red Ryder Carbine Action BB Gun under the tree on Christmas morning. The over-two-hour TV movie stars Maya Rudolph, Matthew Broderick, Jane Krakowski, Chris Diamantopoulos, Ana Gasteyer and talented newcomer Andy Walken as Ralphie. This winter-wonderful extravaganza features stunning choreography on massive sets and family-friendly songs with music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, lyricists of La La Land's Academy Award®-winning* song, "City of Stars." Get ready to sing and dance along to your new favorite holiday tradition! Technical Specs:
Tarzan's Greatest Adventure
Synopsis: The mighty Lord of the Apes (Gordon Scott) is on a deadly trail. He's determined to find the diamond hunters (including Anthony Quayle and Sean Connery) who brought terror and death to a peaceful village. But as much as Tarzan is a tracker and avenger, he's also a protector. An irresponsible gadfly from the so-called civilized world intrudes on his quest, and Tarzan knows he cannot leave her to fend for herself.
Tarzan's Greatest Adventure is widely applauded as one of the best and most grownup films in the entire film annals of the jungle lord's exploits. It's "a superior action yarn shot on location in Africa, more adult than most of its predecessors. Tarzan has a much expanded vocabulary" (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide).
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Longmire: The Sixth and Final Season
Synopsis: Season Six of Longmire finds Sheriff Walt Longmire, deputies Vic Moretti and The Ferg, best friend Henry Standing Bear and daughter Cady facing personal and professional crises. Walt's job and home are under threat from a powerful, unscrupulous lawyer. Vic must decide what to do about her secret pregnancy. The Ferg struggles to balance a new relationship with his commitment to duty. Henry is a target, and Cady's loyalty is torn. With their world in turmoil, Walt and everyone he cares about must make the most difficult decision of their lives. Is it time to pack it in? Or is it time to fight? The final 10 episodes of the suspenseful, action-packed series build to a dramatic finish under the wide-open, wild skies of Absaroka County.
