sorry if this is posted somewhere else but can anyone confirm when the HD release of the da vinci code -- I swear it listed at amazon.com (blue ray I believe) a while back but it is nowwhere to be found now.

any info would be appreciated

Drexl

It (BD) was delayed.

Mr. Cinema

I'm sure Sony was waiting until they got BD50's replicated. This one will probably have some interactive features on it. I've seen mentions on AVS that this will be out early part of next year.

You really can't compare what you're going to see on any HD media from TV or a streaming source.

RockStrongo

While I agree, IMO, HDnet does have very good broadcasts (compared to the networks and other hd channels).

For example, 2001 looked stunning!! Even though it was a broadcast.

Giles

and that why I made that comment about HDNet Movie's broadcast of Winged Migration - HDNet makes an effort to secure the best HiDef transfers (Warner Bros. HiDef transfers have continually been impressive), here while some shots have a remarkable 'window-like' clarity, it is terribly marred by a less than perfect print, I mean the movie is a 2001 film, if this is the best Sony Pictures can do, this is another embarrasement akin to 'The Fifth Element' Blu-ray disc.

according to my distributor the release for Poseidon has been pushed back to 1/02/07.

Here's some blu-ray releases for next year:

Tailor of Panama: 02/06/07
Glory: 02/0607
Open Season: 01/30/07

Also our Distributor has these blu-ray titles listed as Moratorium, which usually means they might be delayed or cancelled or something:

Crouching Tiger: 1/16/07
Winged Migration: 1/16/07
Hostel: ????

and Poseidon is listed as MOR, as well but that might be due to date change.

Mr. Cinema

Glory on Blu-ray

Mr. Cinema

I have a couple of guesses on this delay. One could be they are still working on the IME feature. Two is they are holding it back until the Blu-ray version is ready and they will release both in January. Can't think of any other reasons.

I'll pick up Glory for sure, maybe Tailor Of Panama. Hostel is out in the UK already and is region free, so I would imagine it's only a matter of time before it gets a release over here. I think ianholm just ordered it.

digitalfreaknyc

Yup. Great movie.

But I already have a superbit version.

Someone on AVS was stating this one:

The Black Dahlia 12/26 HD-dvd

Quinty

What happened to Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire HD-DVD ???

Is it still released in 2006 ??
The UK is getting it on 20th November.

Mr. Cinema

I still think we'll get it this year. Warners makes alot of last minute announcements. There wasn't much of a heads up for Batman Begins or V for Vendetta when they were announced.

Blu-ray slate for February:

American Psycho (Uncut)
First Blood
Reservoir Dogs
Young Guns

matome

Well, I'll be picking up all of those.

Mr. Cinema

I didn't find out about Reservoir Dogs getting a BD release until last week, which was after I picked up the newest 2-disc set. According to the specs, these all get DTS HD audio tracks and Reservoir Dogs' features will be in HD. Sounds good to me.

joshd2012

Yup. Lionsgate is making a huge run in January, with Fox following in February.

RockStrongo

Id pick up American Psycho and Reservoir Dogs from that list....well see if they release on hd-dvd too

digitalfreaknyc

AP and YG for me...if they start releasing and all the extras are there.

Since Clash of the Titans is the only movie Warner has made available in HD through Microsoft's 360 download service that hasn't been released or at least announced on HD DVD yet, I wonder if that's coming soon.
