Paramount catalog: South Park:BLU, Braveheart, Forrest Gump, Gladiator - Blu-ray Forum

Meeklo · 03-12-2009, 09:39 PM

From Digital Bits (Rumor Mill):

Okay, let's have another update on Paramount's catalog Blu-ray plans for 2009. Our industry sources are now telling us that Fatal Attraction is coming in June from the studio, with the second and third installments of Friday the 13th following in July. Other titles we've recently confirmed are in the works for Blu-ray release this year from Paramount (street date TBA, but they ARE coming) include South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, the Gladiator: Director's Cut and Forrest Gump. And as we've reported in the daily column recently, the Braveheart: Special Collector's Edition is also expected this year from the studio. Those are great titles all, and on behalf of The Bits staff, let me just say to the Blu crew up on the Melrose lot how impressed we all by the number and overall A/V quality of your catalog titles in 1080p. May we put in a good word for Galaxy Quest (eventually), The Peacemaker and Once Upon a Time in the West?

EDIT: I'm so wanting Friday 13th part 2 and 3, South Park: BLU, and Forrest Gump, all 4 will be day one purchases.

The only problem here is that I'm not aware of a DC of Gladiator; there's the theatrical cut, and then the extended cut, with Ridley's introduction where he expressly says that he prefers the shorter version.

Other than that, those are some heavy-duty catalog titles there. Kudos to Paramount.

I won't feel happy about my collection unless there is a gladiator blu-ray on my shelf! That is good news...hopefully its true.

DetroitSportsFan · 03-12-2009, 10:41 PM

There's some purchases there for me. Friday the 13th 2 & 3, South Park, Gladiator, Forrest Gump, and Braveheart.

saginawjuggalo · 03-12-2009, 11:02 PM

+1. I have the same sentiment. I can't wait for Gladiator to come out.

Gladiator for me on day one.

SirSomerville · 03-12-2009, 11:17 PM

Sweet!
I've been waiting on Forrest Gump, I never got around to the DVD.
Now I just need 'The Green Mile' to get on blu-ray.

I could be incorrect but I don't think DIGITAL BITS has ever steered any info
wrong...

These are some great titles! This year is starting to develop into a great
blu year!!

I am getting Braveheart. I am also wanting Gladiator but Gladiator, is Universal Studio's title not a Paramount as far as I know.

Jeff Kleist · 03-12-2009, 11:37 PM

Gladiator is a Dreamworks title in the states, Universal internationally, and all DW catalog is owned by Paramount

MCT · 03-12-2009, 11:45 PM
