Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is now showing a 5/6 release date for the Blu-Ray, whereas the HD-DVD still shows 4/15 at Amazon. That's the opposite of the trend -- error?

Kris Deering found some info that is hinting toward some future New Line Blu-Ray releases:
Well since Mi Casa Multimedia is doing the soundtracks for New Line, just like they did with DVD, I took a gander over at their website. They list quite a few new 7.1 soundtracks in development for HD and all are New Line titles. Looks like we'll see:
Harold and Kumar 2
The Golden Compass
Money Talks
Frequency
Nightmare on Elm Street
The Butterfly Effect
A History of Violence
Rush Hour
Rush Hour 2
The Last Mimzy
Dark City: The Director's Cut
Tenacious D The Pick of Destiny
Not a bad list of titles in the works but I can think of A LOT more from New Line I'd like to see, a lot of which came out in 2007. There are more projects listed but those all have discrete 7.1 mixes so I imagine they were done for Blu-ray since DVD doesn't support 7.1. Hopefully we'll see some announcements soon!

Out of those, I'd take The Golden Compass and Nightmare on Elm Street. At least we can usually count on New Line to bring the works to their BD titles. I'd love to see LOTR trilogy in there though!

Looks like the Warner HD-DVD delays will affect Twister as well as it has been pushed back three weeks from the BD/DVD date to 5/27.

ox says it's planning to release first-ever high-def versions of 'Mrs. Doubtfire,' 'Patton,' 'The Longest Day' and 'The Sand Pebbles' this Spring as part of an upcoming Father's Day-themed promotion.
As we've previously reported, Fox recently announced that it was rescheduling the Blu-ray release of 'Master & Commander' to be part of a planned Father's Day promo (where it would also join two other recently-postponed titles, 'A Bridge Too Far' and 'Battle of Britain').

The studio now tells us that fans will have even more to look forward to with the promo, as it is preparing three additional titles for its Father's Day line-up -- the war-themed classics 'Patton,' 'The Longest Day' and 'The Sand Pebbles,' plus the Robin Williams comedy 'Mrs. Doubtfire.'
Fox has yet to reveal an exact street date, nor any specs or supplement details, but as always we'll keep you posted.

Here's the thing, I don't want Fox to release the really highly anticipated titles until they prove they're going to do them right, with all the extras ported over.
