Paramount Delays 'Into the Wild,' 'Things We Lost in the Fire' HD DVDs

Tags: Street Date Changes, Paramount (all tags)
Paramount has announced a street date delay for its HD DVD releases of 'Into the Wild' and 'Things We Lost in the Fire,' pushing both titles back to early March.
As we've previously reported, the studio originally announced the two HD DVD releases for February 12, day-and-date with their standard DVD counterparts. This new street date bump will now see the high-def versions hit store shelves three weeks later, on March 4.
No reason was given for the delay, but specs remain unchanged for both titles, with each including 1080p video and Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 Surround tracks. Previously announced extras include multiple making-of featurettes on both discs, and deleted scenes on 'Things We Lost in the Fire.'
The suggested retail price also holds steady at $39.98 a pop.

Case & point: I ordered 3:10 to Yuma & Justice League: The New Frontier on the same order, 3:10 to Yuma is shipping now... I will not be charge shipping.

I love the movie when I saw it in theaters, can't wait to pick it up for Blu-Ray.

I thought it was common knowledge that Cameron wanted to retain the grain look for the DVD release - if so, it will be quite apparent on the BR edition - I'm sure we'll hear some bitchin' and moanin' when we actually see the finished disc.

The BR edition definitely will help for seeing more detail, but i'm sure the typical 'OMG this grain looks horrible' cries will be heard

even though it was featured in the trailer - I still crack up when Prince Edward tries to break out in song, but gets plowed down by the bicyclists. It was great to see Disney go back to the traditional 2D cel animation filmmaking mode.

The Digital Bits is indicating that Master and Commander BD is being held for a Father's Day promotion (not surprising, since it's not available for pre-order anywhere), but also says that new titles like Patton and Mrs. Doubtfire will be joining it in June.
