THE KILLING FIELDS - Any word on a BD release? - Blu-ray Forum

Johnny Vinyl · 04-10-2009, 10:40 AM

This has got to be one of my favourite movies and for a movie that received such outstanding reviews, I'm somewhat suprpised it hasn't been seen on the BD radar screen.

Does anyone know anymore about a possible BD release for this amazing movie?

Yeah, it's definitely not what you'd hope for. But so far this has been the only version around. Let's hope studio canal gives this film the release it deserves.

I've been holding off buying it as well hoping for a better option to surface.

I just watched this in HD on Cinemax and it looks absolutely terrible. One of the worst HD presentations that I've witnessed. The picture is very soft and lacks fine detail most of the time. I don't know whether it was shot that way or if they DNR'd it to death. Regardless, I doubt it will look any better on the eventual US blu-ray.
