well there are some movies on the blu list that hd has, namely the warners and new lines, as they are both neutral, hopefully that will change in the not so far off future

[Pellaeon]

Already assuming Warner is going Blu

[Petra_Kalbrain]

As of right now though, and I emphasize AS OF RIGHT NOW, there are a lot of movies that you listed in the Blu category that should also be considered in the Red category (Warner & New Line)...

Nevertheless, a very optimistic and resolute assumption on your part.

LOL sorry, im very lazy and did want to put them under the HD DUD category too, so i just put Warner and New Line so u would know

[ClaytonMG]

It actually depends on the New Line thing. If it's a Day-And-Date release with the DVD, then chances are it'll be Blu only for a while until it's international run is over with.

[Venom2113]

Not too excited about Blu from what I see on that list. Just The Dark Knight and Bond.

I'm sad to see Cloverfield, Iron Man, and Hulk on HD DVD.

[JaylisJayP]

What about Indiana Jones? If it comes to HD at all, won't it be HD DVD?

by the time those movies come out, I would expect a day and date release on Blu...

10,000 B.C. is going to look sooo good on Blu. Has anyone else DL the trailer from the PS store? It looks awesome. And I refuse to watch anymore saws. Come on guys....

P.S. What happened to book 3 in the chronicles of narnia? For all of you that dnt know, the movie was made after book 2 and this next movie is prince caspian which is book 4.

Yeah, I believe it'll happen but still let's not be overconfident, i.e. the bribe Paramount took.

Nice list for BD regardless. Especially excited for X-Files 2.

[DetroitSportsFan]

Isn't Sony the distributor for Iron Man and Hulk in Japan? If so, we should be able to import them here in the U.S.

[Batman00]

Obviously these arent all the movies but those are the ones that caught my eye , but those are about it for HD DUD

[blindcat87]

One big problem with your list. You listed Indy 4 on HD DVD. That one will either be BD or neutral.

I put it on the HD DVD list because of the way the studios are supporting so ur probably right, but for now Paramount and Dreamworks are HD DVD

Yes, but it's a Spielberg directed movie and on the Paramount contract they specifically leave out any Spielberg directed movie.

[blindcat87]

Their position does not matter. Indy is directed by somone who has control over his releases. Read the Para/DW announcement of Red exclusivity. At the very bottom is a disclaimer saying thatt titles directed by SS would be excluded from this exclusivity as said director wishes his titles to be released either exclusively to BD or on both formats. Regardless of Paramount's position and whether or not it changes, Indy 4 will either be blue, neutral, or not released.

Spielberg movies are up to him, not Paramount etc, and he prefers blu afaik.

What I'd really like to know is, why hasn't anyone made a movie about the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia? The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe is, in fact, the second title in the series (The Magician's Nephew is the first).

Edit: Woohoo--500 posts!

I think we can take that as a given, given that Close Encounters is available only on Blu-ray.
