I know it'll take some work to redo these titles with BD menus etc. but I really hope they do... all of those are MUST OWNS for me.

The HD-DVD release of "There Will Be Blood" has been pulled from the Paramount website now, according to highdefdigest.com
I wonder if this mean there will be a Blu-ray. I doubt they will do one day-and-date with the DVD release but I would take one a few weeks later even...

UPDATE: 2/25/08, 3:00pm ET Although Paramount has removed 'There Will Be Blood' from its press site as reported below, the title may not in fact be cancelled. According to retail reports, the studio is still planning an April 8th release date, but has put an embargo on release details until March 4. (Details for the standard DVD have also been removed.) Stay tuned...
BTW, it amazes me how many people cannot spell canceled right, even in the professional realm.

As for an HD DVD of There Will Be Blood, we'll know more after March 4th, but it not looking good, if you want to believe the trailer here:

Then Firefox and Outlook must all be British, because they all red flag cancelled 
. Seriously, I used to spell it that way, but was tired of seeing that I'm wrong!

Actually, I thought the rest of the world used 'cancelled' while it is 'canceled' in the States? Both are listed in most dictionaries. My Webster dictionary claims both forms are correct.

The forced subtitles suck for native Spanish speakers, and hopefully it's not the start of a bad trend by the studio. Still, I don't speak Spanish, so the subtitles being forced doesn't bother me for this particular release.

One Missed Call - Warner has set an April 22 arrival for the Blu-ray (day-and-date with the standard-def DVD), followed three weeks later by the HD DVD/DVD combo on May 13.

Now the studio has set a new (and we hope final) street date of May 13 for the Russell Crowe-starrer, which the studio will release concurrently with two other catalog favorites, 'Mrs. Doubtfire' and 'Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid' as part of a Father's Day-themed Blu-ray promotion.
'Master & Commander's bonus features remain as previously announced, including four deleted scenes and the film's original theatrical trailer (in HD). Exclusive to the Blu-ray are a BD-Java-based "Historical and Geographical Pop-Up Map," a "Search Content" feature, and D-Box enhancement.
Tech specs for the BD-50 dual-layer release include 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 video, English DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround (48kHz/24-bit) and French and Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and subtitle options.
MSRP also remains unchanged at $39.98.
