Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Indy has been rumored for a while, but it's nice to see Airplane! of all things on the list.

And it would be nice for Stardust to come out at some point in order to be eligible for its rebate.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

For those that don't know Prison Break Season 2 and 4 have been delayed/canceled on Blu-ray. No idea if they will come out later but as it stands only Season 1, Season 3 and the DTV Film will be on Blu-ray. Grey's Anatomy Season 5 has also been delayed/canceled. Lost Season 1, 2 and 5 are still planned (phew)

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

The Indiana Jones films will be mine. As well Forrest Gump. And maybe a few others... :)

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Stardust is coming. Its not going to be on that list since its just a filler for when they find time to dump it (was not a big DVD/HD DVD seller). It will likely be timed with one of the stars upcoming films from Paramount on Blu-ray. Same goes for Anchorman.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

of all things huh ?

Airplane! & Gump are the only 2 decent titles on the list...

also what about Airplane! 2 The Sequel ?

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Both were up individually, when someone above posted the news over a week ago. I went on Amazon right then and there, and pre-ordered both. At $20.99 each. No dates though.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Been waiting for Stardust for awhile. Looking forward to see what the Indy set looks like.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Who!? Michelle Pfiefer? Robert DeNiro? Claire Danes?? I mean, I can see a promotional tie in for a Will Ferrell movie and "Anchorman". But the stars of "Stardust"?? Do any of them have anything major coming out? ;) Regardless, I've been waiting for this one too for a long time.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Good stuff, been waiting for these for a long time :) I signed up to this forum just to post this, lol, excited as heck

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

There is no real promotional tie-in like say The Fast and Furious BD boxset...but its better to dump the film when one of the stars has a film come out instead of just randomly. If anything it will be a tie-in for Pfiefer...just kinda odd they have not released it yet. Anchorman is likely to tie-in with Land of the Lost. Either when it hits Theaters or Blu-ray/DVD.

G.I. Joe (Miller)

I know a BIG reach.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

48 Hrs. Standard Blu-Ray
Airplane! Standard Blu-Ray
Braveheart Special Edition Blu-Ray
Escape from L.A. Standard Blu-Ray
Friday the 13th Part 2 Standard Blu-Ray
Friday the 13th Part 3 Standard Blu-Ray
Indiana Jones: The Adventure Collection Standard Blu-Ray

Oh yea! In for all of these. Even though I think it's terrible, I still can't wait to pick up EFLA on BD. I need all things Carpenter in Hi-Def.

Hey Gizmo, one of those unannounced titles wouldn't happen to be taking place Once Upon a Time somewhere in the West, would it? ;)

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Every time I click on this thread I hope to see a Braveheart announcement. This isn't one per se, but close and yet I refuse to believe it until it's in my hands, or more appropriately in my BD player.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

I'll check when I get home. I know a big title missing is one that would have sunk right to the bottom...of the list.

Out of all those listed I'll grab the Indy's, F13's and that will likely be it. Maybe School of Rock...but nothing that really grabs me. Q3/Q4 is turning into a real yawn for me in terms of catalog releases.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

:lol: wait that's not THAT funny... ;)

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

I know, I'm cruel. That one should get announced very soon to tie-in with another film that just so happens to star the same two leads...if all goes well.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Up for pre-order at Amazon.com...

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Braveherat, Indy & Zoolander for me

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Gotta pass on the LOTR. Can't revert to the TE's at this point.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

My thoughts exactly....
I mean, if you look at that list, some of those titles had more than one release on DVD....many had an earlier "barebones" disc and then later a re-release with special features....

Specifically, I am thinking of these:
Airplane! Standard Blu-Ray
Deep Impact Standard Blu-Ray
Friday the 13th Part 2 Standard Blu-Ray
Friday the 13th Part 3 Standard Blu-Ray
Indiana Jones: The Adventure Collection Standard Blu-Ray
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events Standard Blu-Ray

Now, technically, the Friday films were released three times on DVD, but the second time was in a series set, so they were only available individually twice....and those are already announced on BD with the special features carried over (or in the case of Part 3, bonus features added)...
Indy was obviously released first in a box set as well, and not individually, and then they added some new bonus features to each individual release, but then dropped the fourth bonus disc from the original, pre-Skull collection....
And yes, Lemony Snicket was available as both a single disc and a 2-disc SE one the same day of original release...

My point is, will Paramount still be carrying over the previous special features from the better DVD releases, if they are calling these just "standard Blu-ray"? Or does that term just mean there will be no NEWLY produced for BD special features, which is the distinguishing factor between "standard" and "special edition" in their book?

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Standard just means no huge lavish boxset (Casablanca) or anything like that. Paramount has been good about carrying over all (or most) special features.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Nice.

That just trumped all the Paramount nonsense. :)

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Not for me. I'll take news of titles which weren't previously on the radar over packaging art for some that are, every time.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

Fuck! I was looking forward to both of those.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
 

I don't get why people are excited for the LotR theatrical editions on BD. Even PJ has said they're not his preferred/final versions. I wouldn't waste $70 on a box set of incomplete films.

Besides, I already have them on SD. ;)
