Years!? It's a 2008 movie.

...although it first made the festival rounds in 2006, and Tarsem had been shooting it piecemeal well before that.

blu-news.com is reporting that Universal will release 3 Adam Sandler movies this fall (probably in a 3 pack): Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Chuck and Larry. Also, American Gangster, Casino and Eastern Promises on 10/14 (possibly in a 3 pack also). I hope the 3 packs do happen, as I love Universal's pricing on those.

so, I assume Nighmare on Elm Street is not coming out Sept. 2 since there is still no official word?

I got an email from Amazon that the Beetlejuice BD has been pushed back to 10/9

Interview With a Vampire - October 7

Poltergeist - October 14

Warner Home Video has announced that they will bring 'Interview with a Vampire' to Blu-ray on October 7th. A week later, on October 14th, they will bring 'Poltergeist' to Blu-ray as a digibook with never-before-seen photos and inside information. Both titles will be presented in 1080p VC-1 video . It is still unconfirmed in these releases will use Dolby TrueHD or Dolby Digital for the soundtracks.

No extras have been announced for 'Interview with a Vampire', but extras for 'Poltergeist' will include documentary "They Are Here: The Real World of Poltergeist Revealed".

No additional information was releases about either title at this time.

Finally, Poltergeist. My birthday will be very, very expensive. Hopefully it will contain some of the stuff from that 3 disc canceled DVD version from a few years back.

Band of Brothers MSRP for Blu-ray announced at only 99.98! Kudos to HBO for biting the bullet on this one. With Amazon discounts you're looking at 70 bucks which is a deal for this.

Very excited about Interview with the Vampire.

that is good news. i nearly picked up the DVD set at Costco this weekend for $30 after hearing the rumored MSRP for the Blu-ray set, but decided to hold off.

Wow! That's is a great price!

Pleasantly surprised to see "Immortal". The SD actually looks quite nice, but I have a strange fascination for this film and may want Thomas Kretschmann in high def.

Oh, Sept/Oct is going to hurt. Now where's that loan application..............

Added at DVDEmpire:

Sex and The City: Extended Edition - 9/23

Standard Operating Procedure - 10/14
Girls Gone Wild: Spring Break 2008 - 9/9
Dragon Ball Z: Tree of Might/Lord of Slug double feature - 9/16

I think that's about as much as HBO can get away with charging for a 7-8 year old property which has been dirt cheap on DVD recently.

Still worth every penny though.

Yes indeed, just placed my pre-order there!

$69 isn't too bad. It could have been much worse.

Band of Brothers and Sopranos info:

Looks like DVD Talk doesn't allow linking to that site anymore. Um, why?

Great news about Band of Brothers!

That date doesnt look right - isnt that a thursday?

I may have to start getting on the larger selling tip when I get back into town... I'm gonna get killed with all these announcements. It was good knowing you Mr. Franklin for as long as I did...

Caligula (1979) - release on Nov 4, 2008

(source: releaselists.com)

Hmm...you're right. I went back and double-checked the Amazon email and it definitely says 10/9. Checking the actual item page on Amazon shows 10/7 which would be a correct Tuesday, so it looks like the email date is a typo, but the delay still stands.

Wow, Salo & Caligula in Blu this year... who'd have thunk that?

I can confrim that the release date is now 10/7.

Are you a Prime member? 10/9 might have been the estimated delivery date. I got the same email.
