I'm all over Immortal Beloved. Kind of a surprising catalog release, but who's complaining?

Josh Z

I believe The Lives of Others was also announced as cancelled as well.

Kocheese99

yep it appears that it is back on slate apparently.

bunkaroo

Other than Under Siege and Out For Justice, what other Seagal films are out in HD?

Personally I'd love Above The Law.

RE: Remember the Titans

hope this is the extended cut of the film.

Warner Plans More High-Def Documentary Releases

With Warner Home Video's encouraging sales figures for the Planet Earth high-definition release, Warner and BBC Video have indicated that there are plans to release Oscar-winning A Room With a View: Special Edition and the Peabody Award-winning natural-history documentary Galapagos on HD DVD this fall.

Giles

'Room with a View' would look gorgeous in HiDef!

more IMAX from WB would be welcome as well...

what ever happened to 'Everest' from Disney/BV??

Mr. Cinema

I'm in for Remember the Titans and will blind buy Disturbia and Blades of Glory. I think the last 2 are Paramount titles, so most/if not all the extras should be in HD.

mdc3000

I thought Distrubia was solid, so I'll pick that up for sure - very entertaining.

First Multichannel HD DVD Audio Title Debuts with 'Uncommon Bach'

In what is being billed as the world's first "3-Dimensional Sound Reality" high-def music experience, Surround Records will debut the audio-only HD DVD release 'Uncommon Bach' on June 15.

Created by producer Alexander Goldberg Jero, 'Uncommon Bach' presents the music of the legendary composer using "virtual instruments and modern synthesis," in a newly-remixed version that Surround Records is dubbing "3-Dimensional Sound Reality."

According to the company's press materials, the process promises a "clarity and sonic perception of these classical works [that] will open a new vision of the original masterpieces."

'Uncommon Bach' is notable as being the first audio-only high-def release to hit the U.S. Though multichannel audio releases (sans any significant video material) are fairly common on standard-def DVD, they have not yet made any inroads on the HD DVD or Blu-ray formats.

Surround Records has set a June 15 release date for the 57-minute 'Uncommon Bach.'

Tech specs include DTS-HD Master Lossless Audio and standard DTS 5.1 surround options. (Note also that 'Uncommon Bach' is compatible only with HD DVD players with HDMI or optical outputs.)

No further details are available on what, if any video and/or still materials will accompany the audio portion of 'Uncommon Bach.' There also appears to be no additional bonus features or other supplementary material included.

Retail price for the HD DVD has been set at $29.95 (you can pre-order it at Amazon.com for 19.95.)

Surround Records has not yet announced a Blu-ray version of 'Uncommon Bach,' but we'll keep you posted.

Mr. Cinema

Looks like Deliverance 35th Anniversary Edition is coming to Blu-ray and HD DVD on 9/18.

Ghost Rider coming out on HD DVD in September in France.
Mr & Mrs Smith, Lord of War and Gangs of New York coming in 2008.

Found this over at AVS.

Hopefully they won't have forced subs. Why a company would limit a dics selling potential by forcing subs baffles me so I would hope that by now the different companies overseas would realize how retarded that is.

T1000

Anyone got the release date for The Crow on Blu-Ray? Last week Play.com said it was like the 26th June now it says "Due for release..."

Josh Z

In Europe, were a movie's distribution rights for neighboring countries are sometimes held by different studios, forced subtitles are often a contractual obligation to discourage product from one market selling in another.

For example, if Studio A distributes an English-language movie in France, they'll use forced French subs to prevent it from selling in England, where Studio B agrees to use forced English subs on their French movies to prevent crossover sale to France.

Giles

HiDef Digest is stating that 'Remember the Titans' is the longer director's cut of the film.

Jack Ryan Collection, Top Gun, Disturbia, Face-Off SE, etc..

Keep it up Paramount!

fryinpan1

Looking forward to Top Gun!

While Paramount has not released any disc information for these titles, we can tell you 'Disturbia' will be released on August 7, 'Face/Off (Special Collector's Edition)' will span two discs and be released September 11, 'The Jack Ryan Collection' will be released September 25, and 'Top Gun' will take off on October 2.

Giles

I'd buy the Collection, but I'd more than likely sell off 'The Sum of All Fears'

Maxflier

Hell yes!

Count me in for Faceoff and Disturbia as well.
