Blu-ray to Play on a Field of Dreams
March 19, 2009

If you win the format war, it will come. Universal's former HD DVD exclusive and hardball classic Field of Dreams starring Kevin Costner as a man who lures deceased baseball players to his property will make its way to Blu-ray Disc on March 26.

The Blu-ray version of Field of Dreams will closely mirror the HD DVD version with only a couple exceptions. Audio will be bumped up to 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and BD-Live will be supported.

Other features include a 1.85:1 1080p transfer and the following extras.

I am assuming as with Cinderella Man they mean May 26.

Batman1980 · 03-19-2009, 05:36 PM

First day must-buy for me, of course.

RazMansReality · 03-19-2009, 05:38 PM

First day buy yes yes yes!

bageleaterkkjji · 03-19-2009, 05:50 PM

peter m. brack gave it 2.5 for video and 3 for audio and that was probably generous lol

Brad1963 · 03-19-2009, 05:52 PM

Hopefully Universal gave this a remaster for Blu.

Let's not get too excited now cause the HD DVD was rather sorry looking. I can only hope they did a new master based off a new interpositive so it can look it's best.

It's not like they haven't had the time to make it right. Hopefully they used that time wisely.

More Universal Catch-Up Titles

Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced that they will bring 'Cinderella Man', 'Field of Dreams', and 'Children of Men' to Blu-ray on May 26th. All three titles were previously released on the now defunct HD DVD format, and are finally making their way to Blu-ray. For all three releases, video will be presented in 1080p VC-1 accompanied by 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks.

Extras for these releases include:
Sounds good enough to me...

Moviefan1203 · 03-19-2009, 08:26 PM

I don't know of anyone who can say they don't like Field of Dreams. It's great cinema, and I cannot wait to add it to my Blu-ray library.

davcole · 03-19-2009, 08:42 PM

I'd love FIELD OF DREAMS for the collection but having had the HD DVD i'll hold off till I read reviews.

One thing for sure, James Horner's greatest score should sound splendid in DTS-MA.

Batman1980 · 03-19-2009, 08:47 PM

Well yeah there are only 4 Costner movies I love and I only own one of them so this is a must-buy for me, one of the others is coming out in May. James Earl Jones MAKES this movie though if you ask me.

popcornninja · 03-19-2009, 09:13 PM

One of the best sports movies ever made. Yet I've never owned it on DVD. I'll definitely be picking up a copy of this.

Sgt Barone · 03-19-2009, 09:21 PM

yes! just in time for baseball season!!

Pirate King · 03-19-2009, 11:00 PM

Baseball, apple pie, and blu-ray. Can't get anymore American than that.

Kevin Costner (Ray): Don't we need a catcher?
Ray Liotta (Shoeless Joe Jackson): Not if you get it near the plate we don't.

ssmith3046 · 03-19-2009, 11:38 PM

F.O.D. lives on. First day buy for me too.
