High Def Warner titles not yet on Blu-ray - Blu-ray Forum

kjacobs03 · 08-23-2007, 01:25 AM

With all this talk about Paramount and a slight chance Warner could go exclusive HD, what movies has Warner released on HDDVD but not yet on Blu-ray? off the top of my head I can only think of The Matrix trilogy, Batman Begines, and V for Vindetta. What else is there? Thanks

Casablanca...Polar Express << think this one was announced for Blu-Ray though.

Edit...All the Harry Potter movies need to be put on Blu-Ray, dont think any are on HD DVD yet.

Not "in the news" officially. They had a small insert in the 300 BD up in Canada I believe with a V for Vendetta advertisement.

Warner HDDVDs not yet on blu ray include the 2005 "King Kong" "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (Eroll Flynn) "Casablanca " to name a few.
If Warner were to go hddvd they would have the whole MGM library as wellas Warner Bros.

Warner has the early MGM library of films through the early 60's which means MGM musicals of the 40;s and 50's Films like Ben Hur, King of Kings
Doctor Zhivago ,Shoes of the Fisherman

kman · 08-23-2007, 05:43 AM

I though MGM was a Sony company.

Terjyn · 08-23-2007, 09:00 AM

Sony owns MGM, but Warner owns all MGM movies pre-dating 1986.

Harry Potter movies are up for Pre-order in EU, Warner distributes in Europe.

Harry Potter 1 till 5, available for Pre-order, release 14 november, on Bol.com (localized to holland).

At the bottom of this page:
http://www.nl.bol.com/is-bin/INTERSH...%2fmini_bluray

Warner usually released there movies in US before they do in EU, so I am guessing Warner will be relasing these movies a few months earlier than 14th of november.
