James Cameron’s Avatar Blu-ray Preview, Release date
All right. I guess I’ve been avoiding a couple of things on the blog lately. Specifically, I haven’t posted any of the multitude of rumours about James Cameron’s epic hit film, Avatar coming to Blu-ray. And I’ve also been avoiding the whole 3D thing. While the two topics seem to be intrinsically attached, I’m going to try to focus on Avatar alone today. I’ve got so much to say about this whole 3D-in-the-home business that I think it warrants its own article. …Continued…
Miyazaki’s Nausicaä to be the next Ghibli Blu-ray release?
Remember how we told you that it looked like My Neighbors the Yamadas would be the next Ghibli film to make it to Blu-ray? Well, it seems that Disney, Ghibli’s distributor has other plans. At the conclusion of an airing of the film on Japanese TV, the studio made the announcement that Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind would be the next Ghibli film to hit Blu! And it’s apparently going to be released this coming summer in Japan. …Continued…
Alien Anthology Blu-ray set coming Christmas 2010
The Alien Quadrilogy Blu-ray boxed set that was revealed in European flyers last year may not ever make it to our shores. Instead, a recent trade ad (revealed on High-Def Digests forums) has announced that a collection referred to as the Alien Anthology will be released in the USA and Canada for the holiday season of this year! …Continued…
Studio Ghibli Blu-ray Update: No Lossless Japanese Audio, Ponyo Sale on Amazon, Yamadas up next
All right. We’re only a month and a bit away from finally getting our grubby little hands on the US/Canadian edition of the Ponyo Blu-ray. I can barely contain my excitement. Seriously! But a couple of days ago I found out that the Japanese language track on the disc will not be lossless. Only the English dub is receiving the royal treatment! …Continued…
UPDATED: Back To The Future Trilogy Blu-ray Discs in 2010
Back to the Future is coming to Blu-ray sometime in 2010! Despite the earlier rumour and the fake trade ad trumpeting the details, date and artwork, studio sources claim we WILL see a trilogy release on Blu this year! …Continued…
Duncan Jones reveals Moon Blu-ray/DVD January Release Date on Twitter
Well, we heard about the UK release of Moon on Blu-ray ages ago. But there hasn’t been a peep about it coming to home video in the USA and Canada. Until now!
I follow director Duncan Jones on Twitter. Today he spilled the beans …Continued…
UK to finally get Watchmen: Director’s Cut in November (UPDATED w/ Disc Details))
What?! Huh?! While we’re set to get the Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut 4 Blu-ray disc set on November 3rd here in the US and Canada, the UK will only see the Watchmen: Director’s Cut finally hitting store shelves November 30th?! Are you serious?! Wow…I feel awful for fans of this film on the other side of the Atlantic… …Continued…
Confirmed: No Lord of the Rings until March 2010
Why? WHYYY?! Sometimes life isn’t fair. I guess Warner/New Line really wants me to watch my old DVD versions of Lord of the Rings one last time because, according to Bill Hunt at The Digital Bits (best site in the universe, BTW!), the boxed set of the theatrical cuts has been pushed back. …Continued…
NOOOO!!! Lord of the Rings Blu-ray set pushed to 2010?!?
Nooooo! Say it ain’t so! This can’t be happening, right? It’s all a dream, isn’t it? Sigh…
I have to admit, I’ve been getting a little worried that the Lord of the Rings Boxed set might not come out this year. After all, we’re well into September and Warner has yet to issue an official press release announcing it. …Continued…
Early Look at Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Blu-ray discs (UPDATE)
What the…? I was just about to hit the sack when I noticed this image at German website, AreaDVD. It’s a promotional sheet meant for retailers in Germany, selling Paramount’s upcoming Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Blu-ray discs. …Continued…
Star Trek: The Original Series Season 2 Press Release Suggests Studio Preparing Animated Series, DS9 for Blu-ray
Has anyone else been talking about this online? I haven’t seen a single post about the fact that the Star Trek: The Original Series Season 2 Blu-ray Box set includes an episode of the Star Trek Animated Series in HD! Holy crap!
This show was so cool back in the day. Never mind that the actual animation was complete garbage. Never mind that Chekov was suspiciously absent from the show. Focus instead on the awesome stories crafted by the team that made the original series and the fact that almost all the actors from the live action show returned to voice the animated versions of their characters! So cool. …Continued…
Confirmed by Lucasfim: Star Wars Saga six-film Ultimate Blu-ray box set being prepared for release
Thank the good lord for Comic-Con! It’s the one event every year where you’re guaranteed to run into directors, producers and studio reps (along with a myriad of questionable costumed miscreants) capable of answering your burning home video questions. And this year, Examiner.com’s Bryan Young hunted down and interrogated Steve Sansweet, the head of Fan Relations at Lucasfilm. Like us, Bryan wanted to know about the possibility of seeing the Star Wars Saga on Blu-ray. And after being softened up by the business end of an electro-pike, Sansweet was ready to offer up the goods… …Continued…
Star Trek (2009) Blu-ray Package Art, Original Series: Season 2 Details (Updated with exclusive Best Buy set)
Ha! My Star Trek fandom knows no bounds these days! Check this out:
I was trolling Amazon today - y’know, because I don’t have enough films to watch between the stacks of screeners on my living room table and all the Fantasia Festival films I’m supposed to be covering right now - and stumbled across the Star Trek listing, which seems to feature the ACTUAL package art of the Bllu-ray release. I mean, until I get it directly from Paramount I won’t consider this confirmed but dollars to donuts, this is the real deal. …Continued…
Studio Ghibli/Disney Ponyo US Blu-ray release date revealed?
Hayao Miyazaki’s Ponyo hasn’t even hit theatres in North America yet and it looks like we have a release date for the Blu-ray and DVD versions of the film. I had surmised in a previously article that because Ponyo was scheduled for a December Blu-ray release in Japan, we would end up seeing it in US and Canadian shops around that time. Well, according to listings in the newest Diamond Distributor catalogue, Ponyo will be available on Blu-ray and DVD on October 28. It looks like there will be a single DVD disc, movie only edition at $19.99, a special edition multi-disc DVD set at $32.99 and a Blu-ray release at $39.99. …Continued…
New Harry Potter Blu-ray discs, Massive Box-set sale at Amazon
Amazon has listed a couple of brand spanking new editions of the first two Harry Potter films! Both Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets appear to be on the verge of a new Ultimate Edition release, presumably with some new features…Continued…
Ponyo and Studio Ghibli films on Blu-ray
My favourite movie on the planet, I mean the absolute best film ever made, in my eyes is Tonari No Totoro by Hayao Miyazaki. Damn near cinematic perfection. And Miyazaki’s best work, by far. Even compared to his most recent, Ponyo, which has just been released on DVD in Japan.
How can you get Ponyo or Totoro on Blu-ray? Well, you can’t. Not yet anyway. …Continued…
Watchmen: Director’s Cut additional and extended scenes described
Yes, I know. It’s another Watchmen post. It’s not my fault! The news just keeps on pouring in and to be honest, it’s all sort-of interesting.
Ain’t It Cool News got a note from a reader who had a chance to see Zack Snyder’s longer, meatier Watchmen: Director’s Cut (the one we’re getting on Blu-ray here, in North America on July 21st) and sent in a quick list of some of the changes and extensions he noted as he watched it.
Here’s a look at some of what you’ll find over at Ain’t It Cool: …Continued…
Star Trek (2009) Blu-ray Deleted Scenes Described in Detail
Harry Barber over at TNMC got his hands on a version of JJ Abrams’ Star Trek script. From the description he gives, it doesn’t sound like the shooting script (there’s a major difference involving the death of the villain’s henchman that would have required a solid round of rewrites) but it does give us a look at what some of the deleted scenes on the Blu-ray will reveal.
I’ll run them down, one by one but you’ve got to head on over to TNMC.org and check out the rest of Harry’s article. There’s some fantastic stuff there, if you’re a Star Trek fan. What you’re about to read below is just the tip of the iceberg! …Continued…
