Misery and Child's Play: 9/15/09
Mentioned in the Hannibal Lector Anthology thread, but these should probably get their own thread as well. From Blu-ray.com:
MGM Gives Blu-ray the Chills in September Posted May 27, 2009 05:25 PM by Juan Calonge MGM In an early announcement to retailers, it has been revealed that MGM Home Entertainment will release a set of highly-appreciated horror movies on September 15: 'Child's Play', 'Misery', and 'The Hannibal Lecter Anthology', which will include 'Manhunter', 'The Silence of the Lambs' and 'Hannibal'. No spec information is available at this time. |

Def. in for Child's Play. I'll more than likely get Misery as well.
Now announce Pumpkinhead already! |
Re: Misery and Child's Play: 9/15/09
Misery for win.

Re: Misery and Child's Play: 9/15/09
Now what are our chances of getting the rest of the Child's Play franchise in HD :)

That'd be up to Universal. They did release Seed of Chucky on HD DVD, so if they play catchup...

Re: Misery and Child's Play: 9/15/09
I hope none of those aren't old MPEG-2 early 2007 transfers that have been sitting on the shelf. We know SOTL was.

I'm cool with it if they look like SOTL does, what a great BD! :up:

Re: Misery and Child's Play: 9/15/09
I thought SOTL was a mixed bag as well.
The new dvd of Child's Play came out in Sept. '08, so that gives me hope this is a fresher AVC transfer. The Misery SE, however, was out in Oct. '07. But then again, they may surprise us like they did with Carrie. I would have bet money that was MPEG-2, but it was AVC. Didn't look that great though, but that's a source issue. |
Re: Misery and Child's Play: 9/15/09
I'm okay if it's like SOTL, as long as it's NOT like The Graduate and Road House. I like the idea of including SD-DVDs instead of Digital Copies, I don't like the studios just cheapening out and using them as a way of including the special features along with a feature-free BD.

Re: Misery and Child's Play: 9/15/09
I'll only buy Child's Play if it's done right, so a proper encode with a high bitrate is necessary.
|
Re: Misery and Child's Play: 9/15/09
Wait a sec, what are these BD/DVD Combos? Does it include a SD copy, or are they just like the bastard HD/DVD Combo discs?
|
Re: Misery and Child's Play: 9/15/09
Count me in for Misery! :up:
|
Re: Misery and Child's Play: 9/15/09
Why the hell didn't they just release Child's Play when the dvd came out last year? It better be PHENOMENAL a/v for me to upgrade.

Re: Misery and Child's Play: 9/15/09
I'm guessing these will be barebones blu-rays with the dvd counterparts holding all the features... I already have the Chucky's 20th dvd but I may grab the blu-ray if the reviews are good and it gets cheap enough - if not I'll stick with the dvd.

Re: Misery and Child's Play: 9/15/09
They're both AVC encodes. That probably increases the chances that the BDs will have the extras.
|
Re: Misery and Child's Play: 9/15/09
Pretty sure Child's Play was 'done' last year when the DVD was re-released (they are re-re-releasing it again?)...so good chances it MPEG4. Likely with Misery.
