ANCHORMAN! excellent....

"I'm trapped in a glass case of emotion!"

Life of Brian!!!!! Wow. Hope it's a full blown restoration since the Criterion isn't looking too hot these days.

If Sony puts out Holy Grail I may mess my pants. :D

This is probably the most ridiculous thing you've said.

What studio has the rights to that these days?

Anchor Bay, but I don't know who they're licensing from.

Great news for Anchorman and Old School!

:banana:

Should be interesting to see if Anchorman contains the Wake Up Ron Burgandy extra feature.

Life of Brian is a nice surprise. I'll hang onto the Criterion DVD for the extras, but I hope Anchor Bay(aka Starz) does a good job on the transfer.

Very doubtful. It would need to be a two disc set, unless it was in SD.

2-disc sets aren't a rarity for Paramount.

Sony.

where did you hear this?

got all of this info from my distributor. they've been very accurate so far.

Yep, I'll vouch for Kocheese's info.

That's a lot of Will Ferrell from Paramount.

Where's Zoolander? :fc: :fc: :fc:

one too many if you ask me... ;)

both up for pre-order at DVDempire
Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy - Unrated
Old School: Unrated

Damn, I was kinda hoping that Anchorman would be the theatrical cut, since there's only a full screen version of that. Oh well.

:banana:

Is Saturday Night Fever still coming next month?

I wonder if Dreamworks will release Wake Up, Ron Burgandy also.

Check out post #836 on this same page!

With the combined runtime of the two movies clocking in at about 3hrs and 15 min., I don't see why not one disc. After all, a single 30GB HD DVD is good for about 4 hours of HD video.

Yeah but the regular DVD was CRAMMED with extras. I don't see how they can get all that stuff on there and another feature.

Two discs are fine with me though.
