holy shit!!!!

too bad we'll get the twilight inspired cover...

Sessa17 · 08-18-09, 06:51 PM

Wasn't expecting that. Great news, hope it doesn't have the crappy cover of the recent re-release.

LickTheABCs · 08-18-09, 07:12 PM

I'll live with the terrible artwork for this in Blu. Great news.

Zen Peckinpah · 08-18-09, 09:41 PM

Sounds cool, but the Anchor Bay set I got for $5 a few years back will probably end up superior for the extras.

dolphinboy · 08-18-09, 09:53 PM

Looks like my kids don't eat in November.

That's what I was thinking. The features on the AB set are pretty good.

asianxcore · 08-18-09, 11:24 PM

I'll probably pick this up if it's cheap.

I'm currently happy with the AB 2-Disc I got from Borders over X-Mas for $9.

LeRoy · 08-19-09, 10:35 AM

Should be nice and cheap when it comes out so I'll go ahead and upgrade but I may end up keeping my 2 disc set for the extras if they're not included.

The November 20 theatrical release of The Twilight Saga: New Moon coupled with the probable fall release of Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker on Blu-ray and DVD has provided Lionsgate Home Entertainment a perfect opportunity to bring Bigelow's 80s vampire flick Near Dark to Blu-ray on November 10.

Joining Near Dark in making a Blu-ray debut the same date is the Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Belushi thriller Red Heat. I am not sure what the marketing tie-in for Red Heat is but regardless, it is on the way.

Both films on Blu-ray will be presented in their original 1.85:1 aspect ratios at 1080p resolution with 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio.

Near Dark will be a bare bones release while Red Heat will include three featurettes; a making-of TV special; the original theatrical trailer; and several TV spots.

trespoochies · 08-19-09, 09:57 PM

That fucking cover...

This will be the fist time I seek out some custom art.

dolphinboy · 08-19-09, 10:24 PM

Barebones? Crap.

Well, it goes into the wishlist then for a purchase some other month, because November is a killer month.

abintra · 08-19-09, 10:37 PM

The release screams $5 bargain bin so I'll heed and wait until it can be found for that.

ThePhantomGoat · 08-20-09, 11:25 AM

I think the artwork is garbage, but I have to admit that I think it is absolutely hilarious that some Twilight-lovin' tween might pick up this release based on the cover.

Geofferson · 08-20-09, 12:02 PM

Bummer...was hoping for some new extras.

KillerCannibal · 08-20-09, 03:19 PM

Artwork and extras being crap aside, I'm happy to get this in 1080p!

NoirFan · 08-20-09, 11:52 PM

Blu-ray.com review of the UK Optimum disc, which will I assume be the same transfer used for this edition?

LeRoy · 08-21-09, 01:07 PM

Yeah it's too bad about the cover art but I'll still pick it up when the price is right.

I'll Netflix this, hold on to my DVD and wait patiently for a proper BD release.

Damn barebones. I love this movie, there is just something about it. But already owning the 2-disc and this being barebones its going to be hard to justify the double-dip.

NoirFan · 10-21-09, 05:41 PM

The disc is NOT barebones. From Blu-ray.com --

Quote:

Special features include:

* Audio commentary with director Kathryn Bigelow
* "Living in Darkness - a making-of documentary
* Deleted scene with commentary by Kathryn Bigelow

Isn't that all of the extras that were on the DVD?

I don't have the 2-disc Anchor Bay to verify, but it looks like this Blu-ray is going to be missing the storyboards, trailers, and still galleries. Not a deal breaker for me, as I'm glad they appear to be carrying over the main extras at least.

riotinmyskull · 10-21-09, 09:23 PM

those extras are fine for me...let's hope the AQ/PQ is solid.

KillerCannibal · 10-22-09, 11:54 AM

It would have been nice to get ALL the AB extras so that I could ditch my copy, but I'm glad to see we're at least getting something. I still would have bought this either way.

GizmoDVD · 10-22-09, 02:53 PM

They must have been really limited in disc space to drop small things like Storyboards and still galleries. It'll probably be on a 25GB disc but gees...those three dropped features couldn't take up more than 1GB of space.
