[VIDEO] Fox Blu-ray Demo features Alien Anthology, Sound of Music, Moulin Rouge and more!
If you’re reading The Blu-ray Blog, you most likely don’t need to be sold on the benefits of the technology. And if you follow us at all, you most likely don’t need to be sold any further on Fox‘s amazing slate of recent and upcoming releases on the format. We’ve published a crap-ton of articles on the Alien Anthology, The Sound of Music: 45th Anniversary Edition, Moulin Rouge and The Rocky Horror Picture Show Blu-ray discs. Having just received them a couple of days ago, I can personally speak to the outstanding quality of the Moulin Rouge and Rocky Horror releases on the format.

Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood Blu-ray announced for UK release
Speaking of Ridley Scott films starring Russell Crowe (read all about the new Blu-ray edition of Gladiator here, if you haven’t already), Universal Pictures have announced the September 20th release of the duo’s recent Robin Hood film on Blu-ray in the U.K. I missed this one in the theatres but I have to say, it looks like a major misstep – prequel story, old Robin, too much war, too much like Gladiator, etc. But, as a long time fan of all things Robin Hood, I’m eager to get my hands on it and give it a go. I mean, really…how bad can it possibly be?! …Continued…
New Gladiator Blu-ray release sports updated transfer, disc exchange program
This is some shocking and very welcome news! You might recall all the hubbub surrounding the release of Paramount’s Gladiator: Sapphire Series Blu-ray last year (read our full review of the disc here.) Fans and critics were truly disappointed when the highly anticipated disc turned up with a less-than-stellar transfer, complete with edge enhancement and DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) which effectively turned the film into a muddy mess. Well, now a new Blu-ray release of the film has been unleashed on European audiences, sporting a gorgeous new 4K transfer. And, according to Paramount, those who purchased the previously issued, flawed disc here on this side of the Atlantic, will be able to exchange it for an updated version featuring the same 4K transfer from overseas! …Continued…
