Taken from highdefdigest:

Sony has announced a street date bump for 'Starship Troopers' and its direct-to-video sequel 'Starship Troopers: Marauder,' as well as details on an exclusive box set release featuring all three installments in the sci-fi franchise.

Originally announced for release on Blu-ray July 29, both the original Paul Verhoeven cult classic and its second direct-to-video sequel will now hit high-def one week later on August 5 (day-and-date with the DVD versions).

The studio has also confirmed that it will release the 'Starship Troopers Trilogy' box set on the same day, which features both 'Troopers' and 'Marauder,' as well as the second direct-to-video film in the series, 'Starship Troopers: Hero of the Federation,' the latter of which will only be available in the box set.

The box set will feature each film available in its own stand-alone keepcase, and will include no additional bonus features versus the individual versions.

As previously announced, extras on the original 'Starship Troopers' include all of the bonus features found on the standard DVD release, including audio commentary with Verhoeven, a making-of documentary, alternate scenes, screen tests and additional behind-the-scenes footage.

'Marauder' will include two audio commentaries of its own with the filmmaking team, and two making-of featurettes.

Both 'Troopers' and 'Marauder' will also feature exclusive picture-in-picture Bonus View (aka Profile 1.1) enhanced features, which will include additional commentary, making-of footage, and graphic and text content.

There are no supplement details available yet for 'Hero of the Federation,' nor tech specs for any of the three trilogy titles. We'll keep you posted.

Sony has set a suggested retail price of $38.95 for 'Marauder,' $28.95 for 'Starship Troopers,' and $89.95 for the 'Starship Troopers Trilogy.'

I really hope they're not charging extra for the digital copy.

Must agree on that. Even though this is a highly anticipated title, I'll be waiting for a sale down the road.

Mr. Cinema 05-30-08 08:20 AM

HD Digest says the list price for both Harold and Kumar BDs are $34.99.

Now that's a big surprise! Will probably buy this one; the scariest movie of all time IMO.

Lost Boys: The Tribe Film and Blu-ray Info, Cover Art

Warner Home Video has announced Blu-ray details on the direct-to-video sequel Lost Boys: The Tribe (aka Lost Boys 2), due in stores July 29 day-and-date with DVD.

Angus Sutherland will take the reins from older brother Kiefer as a bullish vampire leader prowling the seaside town of Luna Bay for fresh blood. Angus bites off more than he can chew when a champion surfer (Tad Hilgenbrink) and his sister (Autumn Reeser) move in and trigger the revelation of dark secrets.

There's only one person to call when your town is being overrun by vampires and its not Peter Venkman. Corey Feldman escapes reality TV and returns to his famous Edgar Frog role to help exterminate Angus and his miscreants. Corey Haim is also expected to make a cameo as fellow vampire hunter Sam Emerson, though the extent of his role is currently unknown.

Warner will present the 94-minute uncut version of Lost Boys: The Tribe on Blu-ray Disc in widescreen 2.4:1 1080p video and lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.

Complimenting the film are a handful of supplements, all shared between DVD and Blu-ray. The full list is as follows.

Action Junkies: Extreme Sportslike Stune Choreography
Edgar Frog's Guide to Coming Back Alive
Alternate Endings
All-new Remix Music Video of Cry Little Sister by G Tom Mac
3 Yeah Whatever Music Videos: Downfall, Hell is Full, It's Over Now

Lost Boys: The Tribe on Blu-ray is expected to carry an SRP of $35.99.

Gizmo 05-30-08 02:07 PM

Holy shit.

Well, at least Autum Reeser is in it

mdc3000 05-30-08 02:14 PM

I'll rent that one because I friggin' love Autmn Reeser...but I don't have high hopes for it.

Drexl 05-30-08 03:34 PM

What? They're releasing the sequel but not the first one?

Zen Peckinpah 05-30-08 03:42 PM

Yeah, I couldn't give a damn about this. The Blu release of the original is one of my most wanted from WB right now.

Michael Corvin 05-30-08 03:56 PM

At least they are giving us the uncut version out of the gate as opposed to the inferior theatrical version.
