The magic of remakes - they get the originals released on Blu-ray!

The series was already restored for the 40 anniversary DVD SE (reviewed here).

Wow, it's been so long since I've seen "Never Say Never Again" I forgot Kim B. was in it. Need to see that again and no better way than in High-def!

Can anyone confirm that Winged Migration has finally been rescheduled for April 7th along with Fly Away Home that VideoETA has them listed as? Both would be definite eventual upgrades for me.

April 14th


Warner Home Video has announced that they will bring a double feature of the IMAX films 'Deep Sea/Into the Deep' to Blu-ray on April 14th. Both features will come on a single BD-25 featuring video presented in 1080p VC-1 accompanied by a 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtrack. No special features are expected to be announced.

Deep Sea Dive in! A sea full of wonders awaits. Famed oceanic filmmaker Howard Hall (Into the Deep) guides this immersive adventure that lets you swim alongside some of the most exotic creatures of the planet. Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet provide the narration. And an unusual array of finned and scaled stars are ready to steal every scene. Among them: Green Sea Turtles who gather off Kona so that Surgeonfish can strip harmful algae from their shells...an ominous, predatory Humboldt Squid that changes color four times per second like a flashing strobe light...an underdog Mantis Shrimp, whose claws have the speed of a 22-caliber bullet, in battle against a hungry octopus (the shrimp wins!). So many creatures. So many amazing stories. Sea them all.

Into the Deep Filmed off the coast of Southern California, this fascinating film journeys to an enchanting underwater world of swaying kelp forests and glowing corals. Swim nose to nose with colorful garibaldi, starfish and sharks, play tag with sea lions, and observe the rarely-seen behavior of the creatures of the eternal undersea night.

Absolutely. I've seen it in HD on TV a few times, so I'm looking forward to the BD.

Since it'd be pointless to start a new thread about it Sliver Vision has the 2009 Royal Rumble BD up for April.

I caught it on HDNet Movies and the print didn't look all that hot, the print was not pristine and was kind of embarrasement in terms of picture quality - hope Sony struck a new HD master print.

that seems kind of.. um...

soon. (two days after the Oscars)

you'd think Fox Searchlight would milk the theatrical run for what its worth

pre-orders should be up by now if it's that quick of a release.

wonder how the subtitles will look - hope they are not altered.

apparently Warner's cant seem to release any of their IMAX titles with lossless audio - man, Warner's get your shit together.
