Game of Thrones Blu-ray coming in March

By Brenden ⋅ November 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

This isn’t an official announcement, but the good, sneaky folks at comicbookmovie.com have been able to wrangle up the details, package art and street date for Warner and HBO’s upcoming and much anticipated Game of Thrones Blu-ray boxed set. I’ve got to say, this looks pretty great. Far more full featured than I’m accustomed to seeing from HBO boxed sets. The timing for the release, if CBM has gotten this correct, should directly precede the debut of the second season of the television series, which makes the date seem totally legit. I’ll confirm this for you when Warner officially announces the Blu-ray set, which we should hear about in short order. Until then, just consider this a very unofficial sneak peek. …Continued…

If you can’t count on the studios to fill you in on their upcoming releases, you can always look to Amazon to keep you apprised of what’s due to hit Blu-ray. And today my favourite e-tailer of all things high-def has posted a pre-order page for the Blu-ray edition of The Rocketeer!! …Continued…

By Brenden ⋅ August 23, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Hold the phone! What’s this?! Is it possible that Criterion will be gracing us with a cleaned up, tricked out Blu-ray edition of the original 1954 Gojira (more popularly known on these North American shores as Godzilla: King of the Monsters) sometime in the near future? …Criterion…

Star Wars Blu-ray first impressions and list of deleted scenes

By Brenden ⋅ August 22, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I guess it’s kind of a big day for Star Wars Blu-ray discussion. I woke up to Bill Hunt‘s (of The Digital Bits‘ Bill Hunts) impressions of the upcoming 9-disc Complete Saga boxed set, from a tour of the product at Skywalker Ranch, given exclusively to a handful of journalists. It sounds like he was impressed, which just makes me want to have it in my hands that much more. …Continued…

The Tree of Life coming to Blu-ray September 27 in Canada

By Brenden ⋅ August 10, 2011 ⋅ One comment

I haven’t been sent a press release for this yet but I noticed a few days ago that Amazon.ca has a preorder for the September 27th release of The Tree of Life on Blu-ray from eOne Films. This is huge news as there hasn’t been a hint of any sort of home video release for the title as yet. Even still, I’m not sure where the film will end up in the US – will it be a Fox release or will Criterion license the film so that it might live beside the other Terrence Malick releases in their library? Only time will tell. …Continued…

A European arm of Paramount has apparently informed retailers about the impending November release of multiple DVD and Blu-ray editions of the film and provided them with package art. …Continued…

Criterion previews 2012 release schedule – Spartacus, Satyricon, Canterbury Tales and many more

By Brenden ⋅ June 24, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Well, will you look at that. Criterion has posted a pic on their Facebook page, offering something of a preview of their 2012 slate of releases. All right, to be fair, they didn’t really frame the image as a “preview“, more a look behind the scenes at the desk of someone juggling potential releases for next year. …Continued…

Sylvain Chomet’s animated The Illusionist coming to Blu-ray in May?

By Brenden ⋅ March 4, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Amazon has listed a pre-order for Sylvain Chomet‘s brilliant animated film, The Illusionist, based on an unfilmed script by famed director Jacques Tati. The US page doesn’t include any details of the release outside of the suggested price but the Canadian page reveals that Sony plans to have the disc in stores on May 10. Two questions now remain – what special features will be included on the disc and when will we see Chomet’s Les Triplettes de Belleville on Blu-ray? UK and French releases might provide some clues. …Continued…
