YES! One of my most-wanted remaining titles.

Fun movie that makes me think Bioshock designers watched too much of.

itsaboutHD · 08-19-2015, 10:04 PM

Finally!!! I've been waiting for this for quite sometime. I expect Sony will do it justice.

I haven't seen this since the first DVD release so watching it On BLU should be a new experience, esp since I don't recall much of the movie.

I don't know what got into Sony, but I like the new surge in catalog titles they are releasing. This has been on my most wanted list since Blu ray was introduced.

Great film. Was wondering just the other day when Sony would release it on blu-ray.

I hope they don't mess the transfer up.

Be scared. Very scared. This is a very dark movie.

Yes! Another DVD to the trade pile!

Really can't wait for this! I saw this in the theatre 20 years ago and have loved it ever since.

Sony is approaching Warner Archive in the randomness of their catalog releases. Still a welcome title though.

Sony, please continue being random and release Piranha II, The Seventh Sign, Private Resort and The Principal

Regarding this announcement, I suppose this is the film that convinced Twentieth Century Fox to hire the filmmakers to do Alien 4 two years later. I always wondered what made Fox make such a drastic change in direction and go with French artistes for the next installment. I guess they figured winning Cannes was qualification enough.

More money to play with, perhaps?

Regardless, day 1 for me. This movie is great.

English Dub?
I know, I know... Blasphemy...
But, I like to eat when watching a movie, and it is really hard to eat, watch a movie and read a movie at the same time...

Well, if they do that, then it really isn't random now, is it?
