^No it wasn't -the big deal was that on the original DVD it was included in black and white without approval and Geffen was pissed because he has the original elements for them to put that sequence together IN COLOUR. He said no one asked him. So if they got the legal stuff sorted, it would be expected they could get it together the way it was meant to be seen.

I'd love Twin Peaks...but this is Warner, so it may be several years.

Gizmo, are you basically saying ESOTSM is a done deal for, at the very least, a release in the near future? How's your confidence on that 1-10? Based on the studio, do you expect a good release with special features or something potentially not so good?

Thanks.

I could be mistaken but aren't the HD TV movies usually just upconverted DVD's as opposed to complete new transfers?

I was just wondering the other day when we might see Gladiator or Forrest Gump on Blu. I also thought about South Park on Blu, but wasn't holding my breath. This is indeed, excellent news. And Braveheart? Man. Way to release a good portion of my favorite movies this year!
