Hey it is the directors cut

I like the Mel Brooks stuff. I'm sure I'll finally toss the old DVD-r and get the BD of Men in Tights. I liked Cocoon and saw it in the theaters however I still have my unopened DVD from several years ago and I have a tough time justifying an upgrade to a movie I haven't bothered opening.

Holy shit!

Fangoria actually got a scoop online!

Oh yea, and that's cool news about ED, too. I hope it's not a stripped-down disc like all their recent efforts have been.

Now if they would only get around to releasing halloween 4 and 5 this year. then we would only be waiting on Universal to release Halloween 2,(left Halloween III out on purpose) since Alliance released that 3 movie bluray disc for the the Dimeson Halloween movies last month.

i wonder if we'll get a 1.33:1 or a 1.85:1 transfer of EVIL DEAD. hopefully it'll be a port of the ultimate edition and we'll get both.

H4/5 are on tap for this year. Obviously probably closer to October.

Blu-ray.com:

Independent studio The Weinstein Company, which is in the middle of a restructuring process, has finalized a new home video distribution deal with the worldwide acquisitions unit of Sony Pictures, according to which TWC and Dimension titles will release through Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The Sony deal is envisioned as long-term, in batches of 9 to 10 films.

The first movies under this arrangement are Rob Marshall's Nine, A Single Man, The Road, Youth in Revolt, Halloween, Piranha 3-D, Nowhere Boy, Hoodwinked 2 and Blue Valentine. However, note that not all of these titles will necessarily get a high-definition release.

Weinstein content used to be distributed by Genius Products, of which TWC was the majority shareholder. The home entertainment distribution operations of Genius were sold to Vivendi Entertainment in September 2009. Afterwards, Weinstein property has been released by different distributors: Quentin Tarantino Inglourious Basterds was released on DVD and Blu-ray by Universal, and Rob Zombie's Halloween II, by Sony.

In related news, Outlander (a TWC title released on DVD in 2009 with no accompanying Blu-ray edition) will finally hit Blu-ray Stateside on May 18, released by Vivendi.

Excellent! Saw this early yesterday but it was a 'sign up to be notified' thing. Nice to see it's true and glad I pass on the $10 DVD last week.

MACHINE GIRL - 5/25/10

I wonder if the US release will get a better treatment than the UK BD got. I read some pretty horrible reviews for that one.

ian959

No date other than Christmas 2010 but Fox have announced The Sound Of Music. Blu-ray.com have the promo trailer up.

One of my favs and a definite day one purchase.

matome

Hell yeah

Badass.

Digital Bits has Minority Report coming on 4/20.

And here's more Blu-ray cover art for you to check out: Sony's An Education (due 3/30), Universal's Carlito's Way (5/18) and the final revised art for DreamWorks' Minority Report (4/20)...

JimRochester

Anything on my list has been a day 1 purchase but if it's coming in time for Christmas I'll put it on my list and let the family get it for me. Really looking forward to this one.

<--------------One of the members on this board to see Sound Of Music in the theater as a kid.

lizard

Oh yes! The Sound of Music has been high on my want list for a long time. Assuming it gets a full restoration, which it desperately needs if my Five Star Edition is any guide.

And count me as another (the other?) member of this forum to see it as a kid ("tween", in my case) in '65. I'd also seen a production of the play a few years earlier. Big Julie Andrews fan here...

davidh777

Though I don't think it could have been the original run. Early '70s maybe.

JimRochester

IMDB didn't say anything about subsequent releases. The first release was 1965. It was that and Mary Poppins that were the first movies I can remember going to as a kid. I know it had been televised annually on network TV for many years. Not quite a big event like the Wizard of Oz, but one of the networks would have it on TV on a Sunday night. I wouldn't be able to watch the whole thing because it would have been on until 11:00 on a Sunday night.

Is the history of New York on Blu Ray yet? It was a PBS series??? Not sure if I got that correct?

islandclaws

I'd consider this very rumor-worthy, but I read on the Blu-ray.com forums that Darkman and Flash Gordon are coming from Uni on 6/15.

WMAangel

The Digital Bits reported that they were officially announced today, so I think it is no longer in the "rumor" stage....
