Isn't a release date on Amazon kind of worthless if there's been literally no other indication that this title is coming out? Not trying to threadcrap, just saying not to put much stock in this date unless you hear something from someone other than Amazon.

Mr. Cinema

In my experience, when Amazon adds pricing and the release date, it tends to be accurate information.

Mr. Cinema

videoeta.com also has July 6 and they have a UPC number.

hooray!

doctorthodt

Welp, that works for me. Hope it's a digibook

Mr. Cinema

The Harryhausen box set must have sold well enough for them to okay this release. I hope we get the rest of them sooner than later.

Solid Snake

ditto

Hammer99

Thanks, just ordered!

Walking skeletons FTW!

asianxcore

Yes! I will definitely be getting this on Day 1.

I finally bought the Harryhausen Set a month or so ago (finally fell into my price range) and was hoping for this to drop on Blu

NoirFan

I was hoping for a second box set, but still great news.

I hope it is not a digibook. I will wait for the non-digi if it is one.

MTRodaba2468

That's awesome.

bummer

Its definitely NOT ,I repeat NOT a digibook.How do I know this ??? Because its not WB thats releasing this.

Sony -- who's releasing this -- has also released digibooks.

• Dr. Strangelove
• Silverado
• Midnight Express
• Easy Rider
• A River Runs Through It

doctorthodt

Yep, and they're all magnificent. Really hope Sony hasn't given up digibooks - it's been a while since they've done one. If any of their upcoming catalogue titles are deserving of one, it's this.

Hammer99

Sony digibooks > Warner digibooks, no tacky back cover glued on. Agree that this title is more than worthy of getting the deluxe treatment.

bummer

Wow, thanks for the correction.Ive always thought it was just WB.

Superdaddy

This is fantastic. I hope they tack on a few features...I don't have my DVD handy right now, but I think it was barebones...maybe a trailer but that's it.

Really looking forward to getting this. I second the nomination for all of the man's remaining work to be on BD. I think it can be stated (without much exaggeration) that Ray Harryhausen is one of the most influential filmmakers of his generation, considering his impact not only on animators and special effects artists but on directors and technicans of all stripes.

NoirFan

The only other extra is a John Landis interview with Harryhausen. Checking out the back of the DVD case, I had to laugh at the breathless advertising of "INTERACTIVE MENUS!". Ah, the early years of DVD.

Hammer99

Not only barebones, but a WS/FF flipper. The Criterion LD was loaded, it'd be nice if Sony could grab some/most of that + maybe some new stuff.

Surfkitty

Fantastic news! This is one of my favorites. I do hope there are some good extras, but just having the movie in blu is worth it to me!

Mr. Cinema

I am glad Sony has moved on to $24.99 list pricing now on catalog titles. They did it on a few late last year. I am happy this is a permanent move.
