Holy crap! Fox hit the afterburners and broke the sound barrier with all their new announcements yesterday. As part of their year long 75th Anniversary celebration, the studio is going to be bringing some of their most critically acclaimed catalogue titles to Blu-ray (and DVD, of course.) They’ve provided a first sneak peek at what they’ve got in store for us later on in 2010:
- Alien Anthology: all four Alien films digitally restored and available together in a six-disc set packed with extras
- The Rocky Horror Picture Show 35th Anniversary: new special features including live cast re-enactments and RHPS karaoke
- The Sound of Music 45th Anniversary: digitally restored with 7.1 audio and never-before-seen interactivity and features
- Romeo + Juliet: new high definition transfer and BD Live special features including Live Lookup
- Moulin Rouge!: new high definition transfer and BD Live special features
- The Last of the Mohicans: all-new Director’s Definitive Cut and interviews with Daniel Day-Lewis
Clearly, there are a lot more details to come.
