Stalag 17/The Dirty Dozen (Double Feature)

[Akijama]

This is interesting.

Jeff Baker (WB) :

You're going to see some incredible products coming from Warner Brothers with Paramount next year. We're basically going to co-mingle the libraries. Together we're going to create multi-features that are totally logical and then we think there will be great consumer demand for. I'll give you an example. Two of the biggest epic religious films of all time Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments, well, we got Ben-Hur at Warner Brothers and of course then The Ten Commandments was with Paramount. We're going to do a double feature on Blu-ray and standard definition of that. We are going to take two of Bogart's greatest films Casablanca and The African Queen and put them together. So this is the kind of thing that we're going to be doing. [These were just announced]

I'll give you some other examples: Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon , I think that's a pretty good matching, the Dirty Dozen and Stalag 17, so we get some great, great complimentary content between Paramount and Warner Brothers. In addition to continuing to sell Paramount product individually which we will, we are going to create these multi-features and I think the consumer is going to be the big beneficiary from being able to buy these films and collect these films and own these films that logically go together.

Apparently,they are planning to release The Dirty Dozen with lossy audio this time (don't quote me on this).
Also,does that mean that Stalag 17 will not be available as a standalone release?Hmmm...
