It was rumored that WB would also be releasing Constantine on 5/20, along with V for Vendetta. It appears Columbia House has a BD pre-order listing for Constantine for 5/20. I guess we'll be getting an announcement shortly.

This might interest a few of you... Dimension Extreme (owned by Weinstein) announces they will release a 40th Anniversary BD edition of the 1968 original Night of the Living Dead later this year. The dvd will be released on May 20. |
I hope they do the Blu-ray right, might hang onto my Millenium edition until it gets closer, though.

I think if they ever do decide to remaster this (or any other title with aliasing), they'll release a DVD special edition with additional extras at the same time, like they did with the Kubrick titles, Blade Runner, etc., to help recoup some of the considerable cost. |
Closing for length.
