According to DVDEmpire, it's the 3-hour version.

No wolves = no sale.

I sure hope not! More than anything else that was out or coming out soon, that was the title that got me into BD.

is crouching tiger on br this week

High Def Digest lists a title from National Geographic -- "Relentless Enemies" -- as coming to HD DVD and Blu-ray (dual-layer on both formats) on March 27th.

Apparently at tonight's HTF chat, Kevin Collins announced the Star Trek movie franchise as coming to HD DVD from Paramount this year. Someone on AVS claims that he said it would be an HD DVD exclusive, but it could be a misquote.

Thanks Adam.

Taken from my distributor.

More BR stuff:

King Arthur: Dir. Cut -04/03/07

Here's the BR titles that are showing Moratorium (AKA delayed/cancelled):

Marie Antoinette
Glory

Im done listening to the rumors at AVS. Too many have not come true. And, if its true that Collins said it, there is a likelyhood that it wont happen. Just like the WB exec that said we would see the Matrix and LOTR before the end of 2006.

All lies I tell you!!! ;)

I believe it was delayed indefinitely.

Here's his quote:

To be honest I think the guy is confusing his movies and studios here. He probably meant The Good Shepherd would be the exclusive, not the Star Trek stuff. Those were the only four "new" titles mentioned by name in the chat and he mentioned TGS and Babel (from Paramount) twice yet he refers to it as a Universal title at the bottom. I don't see why Paramount would delay stuff for BD, especially since they've now been releasing same day on both since MI3.

Which has been a total of, oh, about three movies. If Paramount actually did release all the Star Trek movies at once (which I find hard to believe...), it would almost be more than they released in all of 2006.

The only delays I can see for BD titles right now would be due to BD-J....I can see studios releasing HD-DVDs with IME first, but it seems that they are starting to wait on those too.

Damn it, Marie Antoinette better not be delayed.

Marie Antoinette is cancelled, alas. No new date scheduled, either.

Don't know about Glory.

*pounds fist on table*

Damn it!

Maybe Sony had problems with their HD master for Marie Antoinette... It wouldn't be the first time.

DVD Times has the cover and specs for Big Fish. Just the commentary (which is sort of okay by me, since the rest of the featurettes were forgettable...but it's still not a good precedent).

School for Scoundrels will be coming 03/27/07 for HD-DVD

Seriously, what's the deal with the lack of extras on BD titles? Do they not feel like putting forth the effort, or something? For a format that seems to pride itself on space superiority, the studios don't appear to be taking advantage.

This is the reason why I own very few BD titles, and it will continue that way. Look, Sony is the king of the double-dip. I can guarantee you that once HDD/BD becomes more prevalent, we will get re-releases with full extras. I'm not buying a more expensive disc with less features. I'll just continue to rent until the better versions come.

Speaking of "space superiority", this is a MPEG-2 transfer on a single-layer disc. I wouldn't hold your breath for a quality picture from this disc.

Shame on you Sony. This is shitty release, and you know it.

It's not just Sony.

Fox is doing the same thing.

Yeah, because Tears of The Sun, MI3, The Covenant, etc. all looked like crap :rolleyes:

Of course it *can* look good. The issue is that for every disc you mention there are three or four more that are the exact opposite.

As a rule, I've been far more impressed with HD-DVDs consistency in terms of PQ than BD. That does mean one is better, just that i have personally been more impressed. I've seen about 20 of each of format.

Well, that's fine then, as I will agree that some of the earlier titles may not have been stellar, which is why I didn't buy into BD until October after I had seen output from other studios. But I think they've all been very consistant with PQ since then and many reviews will support that.

Heck, if they would just port over the SD extras, I may even have gone fully BD!
