The Fugitive (1993) Remastered 20th Anniv Ed ???
Has anyone else heard about this? I sent an email to Warner Home Video about it, but no news yet.

This year is Warners' 90th Anniversary, and they released a list of titles they were putting out/doing special editions of this year, and I don't recall seeing THE FUGITIVE on the list. I've read some speculation that they were prepping a 20th Anniversary version, but I haven't seen anything from Warners saying so. And keep in mind, a 20th Anniversary version doesn't necessarily mean a new transfer...they could just slap some new packaging together and use the same disc already in release.

Knowing Warner it'll end up being the same transfer, and they'll just spiffy it up by making it a Digibook.

ala Goodfellas.

I do think we'll get a remastered version this year for The Fugitive. I found some older threads on blu-ray.com where they claim a WB exec. had given an interview sometime in 2011 that a new transfer was being worked on. It only makes sense to hold it for this year. I want a nice 2-disc digibook release with a new documentary. |

Yeah I got excited seeing the thread title only to find out it's just a want thread..

MOD NOTE: Alrighty. Added a few ?s to make it clearer.

Re: The Fugitive (1993) Remastered 20th Anniv Ed ???
Work began on a new master of The Fugitive when Warner's remaster of Outland was finished. Both remasters were reported at the same time and obviously Outland happened, so I have no doubt we'll be seeing a new Fugitive this year.

While nice, I'm not seeing anything about it being remastered video or a DTS-HD MA audio track...
|
Re: The Fugitive (1993) Remastered 20th Anniv Ed ???
Yeah that would be front and center in the press release if they had remastered this. I can't imagine the new featurette will be worth the price of an upgrade.
|
Re: The Fugitive (1993) Remastered 20th Anniv Ed ???
Yeah. Don't give a fuck about the features there. Give me specs on the film quality on the BD.
|
Re: The Fugitive (1993) Remastered 20th Anniv Ed ???
If this isn't remastered...thanks for nothing, Warner. You fucks.
|
Re: The Fugitive (1993) Remastered 20th Anniv Ed ???
Yeah. If there's no remastered picture, the children of all Warner Bros. staff should contract polio.
|
Re: The Fugitive (1993) Remastered 20th Anniv Ed ???
isn't polio easy to kill now? Just hope for AIDS, man.
|
Re: The Fugitive (1993) Remastered 20th Anniv Ed ???
Why stop with AIDS? Cannibalistic Crotch Crickets for everyone with a hint of Warner...
|
Re: The Fugitive (1993) Remastered 20th Anniv Ed ???
Screw polio. They all should get AIDS... AND cancer. That'll teach those bastards.

Where was it reported that The Fugitive was getting remastered? If they were to re-issue a title for an anniversary edition (which is getting rarer and rarer these days), wouldn't it have been now? |
Re: The Fugitive (1993) Remastered 20th Anniv Ed ???
I think someone confused remastering the movie with remastering the Blu-ray. New disc/(most likely) same transfer.
|
Re: The Fugitive (1993) Remastered 20th Anniv Ed ???
I have to believe they would correct the abysmal transfer and include lossless audio. These press releases often gloss over technical details that some of us here would like to know.
