It's hit or miss. A high-def release to go with the reissue of Flashdance was cancelled. Ghost was pulled as well.
The only catalog titles on Paramount's schedule now are Face/Off, a boxed set of the Jack Ryan movies, and Top Gun. Chinatown is rumored but hasn't been officially announced.
I could definitely have gone for To Catch a Thief in high-def. Paramount could have been the first studio to release some Hitchcock in HD.

At least they are mostly consistent. Plus, they actually include extras and have enough sense not to price their catalog titles at a ridiculous $39.99 retail.

Do you happen to know if either any of the following could be coming to HD/BD:
Once Upon a Time in the West
Escape from L.A.
Team America: World Police (and South Park movie for that matter)
Thanks for the info on Chinatown and Godfather by the way!

Might as well add another Paramount question. Since The Rainmaker just got re-released with a new transfer, will we be seeing that one in HD soon? If not, I'll just pick up the dvd for now.
