Leon - The Professional - November
Woo hoo! A definite Day 1 purchase....provided we get both cuts with good PQ and AQ. From blu-ray.com:
Léon (The Professional) Blu-ray for November
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced the Blu-ray release of Luc Besson's 'Léon' (also known as 'The Professional'), starring Jean Reno as a hitman who becomes the guardian of a 12-year-old girl (Natalie Portman, in her first starring role). The Blu-ray will hit store shelves on November 17, and will include both the theatrical and the extended cuts of the movie.
Special features include:
10 Year Retrospective: Cast and Crew Look Back
Jean Reno: The Road to Leon
Natalie Portman: Starting Young
Fact Track
MODS: I put November on the title thread, but it didn't come through. Can someone add that?

One of my all-time favorite movies. It looks like the same extras as the recent special edition DVD, so at least I can unload that copy.

November is shaping up to be an expensive month.

I'm not going to instantly get excited like everyone else here. I'll wait for a review of the transfer before I start going nuts. WAY too many Blus have been releases so far w/ anticipated & sub-par PQ.

At this point they could tell me Star Wars Trilogy was coming out with both original and SE in BLU and I would not get excited.
How can you release in Hi-Def and just use a sub par source???

Re: Leon - The Professional - November
Excited, although, I have a couple of mild reservations about the mouse-over caps. It looks a little blown out (disappearing power lines in the explosion cap and less detail on the buildings in the exercise cap) and I still see faint traces of EE on some things (like the curtains in the exercise cap and around Natalie in the shot of her with the groceries).
That said, I have pretty good faith in Sony. They're invested in the format, it's more recent than Ghostbusters and they aren't going to treat it like a no-name catalog release like the recent two Bessons. Right?

Yes! I've almost had to tie myself up to keep from ordering an import version of this, contrast-blown-out regardless. I hope we get a good transfer here!

Hell yeah. I have a feeling this is going to look and sound better than my French BD. The French disc is nice but I know Sony can do a great job if motivated.
