Geez, I'm glad I haven't started selling off those yet. Has there been any explanation as to why they were not ported over?

Laziness.

Or, they want you to buy the DVD edition as well to get the bonus features.

I thought they usually kept them because all of the Sony titles I have kept it, including a couple that kept the commentary although other features were dropped.

If it gets an HD release, it'll be on Blu-ray...and just FYI, it's probably the worst movie I've seen this year (out of over 50 movies - it's a toss up between this, primeval and dead silence)... just terrible from start to finish - you've been warned.

you must not have seen 'Epic Movie'... ;)

'Saturday Night Fever' to Boogie to Blu-ray, HD DVD This Fall

Paramount Home Entertainment has announced it will bring the seminal '70s classic 'Saturday Night Fever' to Blu-ray and HD DVD this September.

One of the most influential films of its era, 'Saturday Night Fever' turned John Travolta into a star, scored the Bee Gees an unprecedented string of No. 1 disco hits, and single-handedly made the world safe for white polyester leisure suits.

Paramount has set a September 18 bow for the film's high-def debut on both Blu-ray and HD DVD.

Though no specs have yet been announced, the next-gen versions will debut simultaneously with a new 30th Anniversary Edition on standard-def DVD, so we can only hope for a wealth of new bonus content.

Paramount has set a retail price of $29.95 for both versions.

What about Grease?

Warner High-Def “Best Of” Collections

Warner Home Video have announced the release of three “Best Of” collections for US Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats. Arriving on 18th September 2007 are three sets each made up of four titles that present a saving of almost $30 at retail (and closer to $40 in the case of Volume 3).

The sets feature the same films on both formats with the exception of Volume 2…

Vol.1 is the same for both formats and includes Lethal Weapon, Max Max 2, Swordfish and Training Day.

Vol. 2 includes The Last Samurai, Phantom of the Opera and Unforgiven on both formats. The fourth title for the Blu-ray Disc set is The Fugitive, while HD DVD gets Troy.

Vol. 3 is the same for both formats and includes Blazing Saddles, The Departed, Goodfellas and Superman: The Movie.

Thats some really crappy collections sets.

I'll buy Fever in an instant. I love that movie.

Thanks for the threadcrap, Jack.

Vol. 3 is pretty good though. Of course, I already have them individually, but if these are cheaper than buying them separately it's a good deal.

Eh, I don't completely disagree with him. There are some good movies in there to be sure, particularly in that third collection, but Swordfish and Phantom of the Opera have no place in a box with the worst "best" anywhere on it. :)

I could come up with a couple of boxed sets' worth of Warner's current releases that aren't in any of these collections.

Look, you can hate the movie all you want (and I do), but POTO has some of the best sound I've heard yet on an HD-DVD.

Blazing Saddles, The Departed, Goodfellas, and Superman: The Movie are all awesome.

- Paramount Home Entertainment will bow Flashdance on HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc on Sept. 18 (prebook Aug. 7).

- By early 2008, Warner Home Video will bow some of the first made-for-DVD titles, horror movies The Rest Stop and Sublime from its Raw Feed label.

- On top of more variety going forward, studios also are planning to rally around summer theatrical blockbusters when releasing high-def catalog. From Warner, look for the first two installments of the Ocean’s franchise to street in high-def, when the latest sequel, Ocean’s 13, heads to disc this fourth quarter. Also, many of Warner’s Harry Potter films will be released on high-def timed to the home entertainment bow of July theatrical Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

From Digital Bits, here are the rumored Universal HD DVD releases for the rest of 2007

8/7 - Hot Fuzz

8/14 - Erin Brockovich, Meet the Fockers, Mercury Rising, What Dreams May Come

8/28 - Dawn of the Dead (2004), Heroes: The Complete First Season, The Hurricane, Notting Hill

9/18 - Battlestar Galactica: The Complete First Season, Elizabeth, For the Love of the Game, The Last Starfighter, Legend

11/13 - Pride and Prejudice

11/20 - I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Tremors, Family Man

12/18 - Eastern Promises

12/26 - The Kingdom, Balls of Fury, American Pie: Unrated, Mobsters, Undercover Brother

Ok list...I would have expected to see a couple big titles for the holiday season, but maybe we will see some.

Also, The Kingdom looks really good (if its the Jamie Foxx movie), so I might snag that one too.

'Tis.

Inside Man finally has a release date. I'm glad to see Tremors on the list as well.

Its just a rumored list from The Digital Bits. Hes been wrong on a few titles on his previous Universal list, so who knows how accurate it truly is.

Actually, these lists from Universal have been surprisingly accurate. A title might change dates here and there, but I wouldn't be surprised if this list turns out to be correct.

Also posted in The Rumor Mill, The Blu Bits says Disney is getting ready to announce a 10/23 date for The Rock and Con Air.

Dammit, where's Crimson Tide?!? 5 months late and we only get 2 of the 3 delayed titles.

I am so pumped.
Timecop is #1 on my wishlist of movies I want on HD DVD, I hope it is true!

Man there's hardly anything on that list I would buy, let alone watch again. I really hope they have some bigger titles coming than that.

At least I'll have time to catch up on the stuff that's already out. :|

Notting Hill, About A Boy and American Pie will be mine. Maybe Inside Man. Hopefully there will be a few more things before the end of the year (The Office: S3 maybe?). I wouldn't turn my nose up at American Pie 2, Uncle Buck, Wet Hot American Summer, Reality Bites, Parenthood, Office: S1 & S2, and/or Casper (not to mention big ones like Jurassic Park, BTTF, ET, etc.).

Sold my SD version of Crimson Tide in anticipation. Come on Disney!

I can't wait to see Legend in HiDef!

Weird Science? That's an odd first choice for a John Hughes movie in HD...

I'm guessing because it has effects? They hope it'll look good in HD? Because if the transfer is lousy its only going to make the movie look that much worse.

I would have assumed that most of these Universal titles have been seen on Universal's HiDef Satellite channel... right?

Isn't the first Hughes HD movie Breakfast Club?

Yep, my mistake.

I did a search in this thread, so I apologize if this has been answered, but is Black Snake Moan HD-DVD a combo?

It's Paramount, so it's not a combo. Warner & Universal do combos.

From the ridiculous MSRP you'd think that it was.

Even though Paramount hasn't included any lossless tracks yet, I do like their BD presentations, especially on new release titles. They produce the extras in HD and the overall presentation is usually solid.

Meet The Robinsons - BluRay 10/23 with BD exclusive extras

If anything, those lousy old optical effects are going to look especially bad in High Definition.

no 3D = no sale
