Catalog releases? Does this mean Edward Scissorhands and Robocop are cancelled as well?

I didn't want to be the one to say it, but I think that is exactly what happened. Fox's hand was forced by the Paramount announcement, and now they're backing off from stuff they didn't want to announce in the first place.

I personally think Fox should issue a press release stating they will be releasing all of their A+ titles on Dec. 25, you know, just to see how many run out and buy a player!

I don't know . . . if it gets cancelled, maybe they'll get serious about releasing a version with special features to match the 2 disc DVD. Nobody should have to just be thankful that a particular film is scheduled for release; we shouldn't have to settle! |

Question, why is Master and Commander still up on foxbd.com. If it was to be cancelled, wouldn't there be a statement saying that it has been postponed indefinitely since it's only two weeks away.

WTF is wrong with these idiots? So it's assumed the first delay was due to BD+. Is that still the case? or is it now BD-50 production issues? I love Fox films and Blu-Ray but damn they are making it hard not to resent them right now. |

"In terms of release news, 20th Century Fox has just informed us that their Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World Blu-ray Disc, which had been set for release on 10/2, has been temporarily delayed. Apparently, during QC, Fox discovered an authoring problem that could cause problems on a small number of Blu-ray players, so they decided to correct it. The studio tells me that they hope to announce the new street date later this week." Pro-B |

I won't believe Master and Commander is on BD until it's in my hands.

Master and Commander is due out in February, according to a Fox-sponsored blog.

If you take issue with Pro-B's stance, feel free to point out any flaws you see (or think you see; whatever the polite way is to write that), but don't take those sorts of snide jabs.

Pro-B ps Most everyone of the registered insiders have stopped supplying pre-release dates, and specifically, titles at Blu-Ray.com. In fact, aside from some generic technical comments advanced info is practically absent. Most likely because of inconsistencies like the one above. |
Ronin and Red Dawn have been canceled/delayed indefinitely.
http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/sh..._Releases/1159 |
Here we go again.
It also seems like Rescue Dawn might not be out day and date either. At least I just got a nice looking HDnet recording of Ronin. |
What's frustrating is that Fox isn't even the only studio dropping the ball. Most studios have made some pretty big errors all through this HD nonsense.
|
I had a bad feeling when I saw this thread bumped. Hopefully these cancellations are isolated and not a symptom of another major change in Fox's stance towards HDM now that BD+ has been defeated...
|
Ugh. Here it goes again...bye Fox.
|
You know, it really sucks too if they abandon it. Fox holds the key to me getting the Star Wars films in HD. I know it wouldn't have been for a while but each time this happens, I feel like that day slips further and further away.
|
The fact that many of the Fox titles are 40% off on Amazon is a good sign that they know they are overcharging their customers at $40 MSRP. Independance Day showed up in my Gold Box today, so with my 10% off discount, the final price was around $20.
|
Rescue Dawn seems to NOT be cancelled, at least.
|
Fuck, I knew Ronin would be cancelled. FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What Fox DOES hold the key to, though, are movies like Alien, Patton, Fight Club, etc. They have a rich and varied catalog, and at the rate they're going, the best we're going to get from them is Independence Day. |

Here's their full list of D-VHS releases. A fair number of these have already shown up on BD, so it might be a decent indicator of what else is to come. Alien: Director's Cut Behind Enemy Lines Big Momma's House Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid Cast Away Courage Under Fire Daredevil The Day After Tomorrow Die Hard Don't Say A Word Entrapment Fight Club From Hell High Crimes I, Robot Ice Age Independence Day Kiss Of The Dragon League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Man on Fire Master And Commander Men Of Honor Moulin Rouge The Passion of The Christ Phone Booth Planet Of The Apes Runaway Jury Speed There's Something About Mary The Transporter True Lies Unfaithful X-Men X2: X-Men United |
