Universal 2012

[Philip Waley]

I was at AFM today and spoke to a friend at Universal UK So I thought perfect person to get some answers! I asked:

Jaws and he said June 2012. He also said ET around the same time. ......Also he said To Kill a Mockingbird for sure. These may only be UK dates but for things like Jaws am sure would be the same date.

I did say about how up and down Universals transfers are. He said they have titles that are they call "expedited" titles which are films that need to be put on Blu ray quickly so they have no time to do any restoration. Like American Graffiti he agreed was a great example. He said that the US was going to release "Quadrophenia" as Pete Townsend is touring so need it ready quick. The UK probably wont as its an anniversary of the film next year or something. He did say that they will be putting a lot of titles onto Blu in the next 18 months and they are conscious of the price.

Anyway thats my bit of Gossip!
