Gregory Peck Centennial Collection - Blu-ray Forum

Gregory Peck Centennial Collection Blu-ray

Just saw this up for pre-order. Anyone know what's going to be in this yet?
I'm hoping some unreleased titles like Roman Holiday, but I have a feeling it will be rehashes, or possibly Roman Holiday with three already released titles, so we'll have to double dip on three of them.

It's a Universal Studios release, so probably To Kill A Mockingbird and any other titles starring him that they own. I believe Roman Holiday is a Paramount title, unless it's changed hands.

Two Universal titles...Cape Fear and To Kill a Mockingbird probably

Tom Servo · 08-12-2016, 03:38 PM

There is a "Centennial Collection" DVD of Roman Holiday, but it's from Paramount.

Doubt I will get this. He wasn't much of an actor.

Ray_Rogers · 08-12-2016, 03:53 PM

I'm interested in this since I share my birthday with Gregory Peck. Hopefully this set will contain features unavailable on Blu-ray throughout the rest of the planet. But if it's repackaging the same discs in a new set, I'm not impressed.
Even owning To Kill a Mockingbird, I'd like another release where the grain static button wasn't turned on during encoding.

Maybe a Blu-ray version of this Gregory Peck collection Universal put out on DVD?

thread crap alert!!!!!!!

MechaGodzilla · 08-12-2016, 05:54 PM

Even though he's one of my favorite actors, I don't own To Kill a Mockingbird, Cape Fear or any of the other films likely to be included on Blu-ray yet, so this has my interest.

John_Drake · 08-12-2016, 06:17 PM

Nice find---I'm also curious as to which titles will be on this.

With an October release date, I would have thought that more information would be available.

I wish 20th would get it together and release The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit.

That would be nice, but for the $29.99 price I'm guessing 4 movies tops.

amacken · 08-12-2016, 06:34 PM

Hoping at least for ARABESQUE and MIRAGE! In addition to what will surely be repackagings of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD and CAPE FEAR.

Well sure...but that's sort of the point.

VideoETA just put up a listing for this.

http://videoeta.com/movie/products.html?id=187448

No titles, but it has the MSRP $29.99 and says it's 2 discs. There is a corresponding DVD set that has 3 discs.

Peck can be pretty wooden, but he still won a Best Actor Oscar

I suppose so, but Peck doesn't sit right with me. I've never been able to empathize with his characters. Despite the fact that he's often trying to come off as the most intelligent guy onscreen, it doesn't seem like he is reaching deep for anything.

I probably should have refrained from saying that he "wasn't much of an actor". It probably wasn't the right way to share my opinion given that there will obviously be a lot of GP fans in this thread.

I just don't get a lot out of his performances. He has been in some really good films though.

dig311dug · 08-12-2016, 10:26 PM

2 disc?
Dam, I assume it'll just be cape and mockingbird
