Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

last action hero :thumbsup:

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Oh guilty pleasure, you will be mine!

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

You know, I've never seen it!!

Maybe it's time?

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

About time for Cliffhanger.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Picking up Last Action Hero and Perfect Getaway for sure!

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Did you see it? I liked the cast and preview, but I should probably watch it first before buying...

Good news about Cliffhanger, all the inconsistencies and mistakes should be glorious in HD. :)

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

No, I don't go to theaters anymore, but anything with Milla is an automatic buy for me, and Olyphant and Zahn are pluses.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Cliffhanger and Last Action Hero :thumbsup:

9 (assuming it's the LittleBigPlanet rip-off and not one of the other 14 9's) should look glorious in HD.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Lame......can we please just forget about these DTV cheapquels and get a BD release of the original three theatrical films instead?

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

I wonder why Weeds S5 is being released in January. Usually it comes out in the summer so it's closer to the upcoming season. Showtime has announced a 6th season.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Last Action Hero is a must own.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

If the DTV sells maybe they will bring the Trilogy to BD sometime in the next ten years. Universal really does not give a shit about catalog.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

totally agree with you there

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

which sucks considering how many catalog titles they gave us on hd dvd.
really hope 2010 things pick back up in the catalog releases. cross fingers that black friday and holiday season 2009 will see a exponential increase of bluray in homes to help faciltate all studios getting out more catalog stuff.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Apparently, neither do consumers since catalogs tend to sell very poorly.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

I saw they announced Smokin' Aces to tie-in with the sequel. I know of atleast 10 titles that are 'ready' and have been 'ready' for over a year they have yet to announce. They've missed several tie-ins as well so not sure what they are doing.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

I spoke to soon - Universal is releasing Atonement and Pride and Prejudice in January. No Elizabeths make me :(

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

I was seriously hoping on Universal cashing in on the release of "The Lovely Bones" by offering up "The Frighteners" on blu. Both do concern the afterlife... :)

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

They still might, come release of The Lovely Bones on Blu-ray.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

I'm not sure there's much to cash in on. Most people probably wouldn't even recognize "The Frighteners" if you were to mention it to them. What's more, "The Lovely Bones" probably won't even be that big of a movie. It would be like releasing "Earth Girls Are Easy" at the same time as "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". But, I'm not a marketing guru, so what the hell do I know?

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

^Dude, The Lovely Bones is going to be HUGE. That book alone has a huge following, add in Peter Jackson to the mix and you've got the fanboys too. Huge hit.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

No Elizabeths makes ME :chainsaw:

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Just wait for the next potential tie-in and you will have them.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

What would be the tie-in with Elizabeth? Do you mean the awards season?

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Actors etc. appearing in other big films. They missed the obvious tie-in with Curious Case (it was planned...but never finalized).

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Which is why I'll believe it when I see it. Not shooting the messenger. Just tired of these two titles getting yanked back and forth. Cate's next movie is "Robin Hood" and that isn't released until May '10.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Blame Universal. The two films likely won't sell that well so their not in a rush to release them with no obvious tie-in. Universal knows (like other studios) catalogs just don't sell very well unless their low-priced or 'big' titles. They will wait for even the slightest chance of a tie-in to hopefully move a couple hundred extra copies. It can also be used towards retailers to give them a discount on buying movies with a tie-in they can show in stores ("Buy 30,000 copies of movie x and we will give you a 20% discount on movie y"). Elizabeths are 'done' so they will come eventually. When...who knows.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Is there any word on Road to Perdition? It's included in a trailer with Fight Club.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

I saw on blu-ray.com that it's coming out in Europe in March of next year IIRC. Hopefully a North American release will come out around the same time.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Those delayed Sony titles finally get a date 1.5 years later.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Nuthin but a few rentals, dang

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

That list is so disappointing to me, that it almost makes me want to buy Mona Lisa Smile just because I feel that my catalog needs are not being met.

I want to support "Rory" and she looks so adorable on the cover, but I've heard that Post Grad is not even ok, that it's dreadful.

Freeway Killer would have been a whole lot better if it just didn't have the Killer part. The movie with Kiefer and Reese would be an exciting surprise on blu.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus looks to be an amazing film.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Isn't it not even playing in theaters yet? Having the Blu-ray release date already, as something that has been set seems... weird.

I'll definitely netflix it - as well as Post Grad. Walk the Line is a must own. Nothing else on that list really sounds interesting to me.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Why is The Girl Next Door on that list? IMDB only has one 2004 movie, and it's the one that's already available. I realize it was criticized for its image quality, but I don't see Fox "fixing" it this soon (especially when Patton still needs it).

It's good to see them putting out a couple of Oscar tie-ins again (WTL and TLKOS). Hopefully there will be a few more.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part IV
 

Maybe its the *cough* rated version.
