Sorry, guys - "Sweeney"'s Paramount - Blu-ray Forum

And the official answer to the long-threaded debate comes in, courtesy of Bill Hunt:

Quote:

Paramount is also about to announce the 4/1 DVD and HD-DVD release of Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd. Watch for details soon.

(Oh, well--I'll give it two months past May to see what Paramount does, and then rent the DVD. Knew I shoulda caught it in theaters, but no, had to take the kids to "Water Horse".

)

......

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

DetroitSportsFan · 02-13-2008, 11:50 PM

Maybe when Sweeney Todd arrives, the world will finally know that HD-DVD is the next generation choice of the consumer!

ryoohki · 02-13-2008, 11:52 PM

Funny since the HD DVD is likely not to have TrueHD.. it's a musical... and WB BluRay will most likely have it LOL

(Um, didn't we already suffer through X number of months' worth of "B-but...it said Warner on it!...And it's Dreamworks, but Spielberg likes Blu-ray!"?)

And okay, just how DOES one go about ordering these geek-fave "region-free UK imports"?
I can guess how one might find Japanese titles, but Euro??

This makes me sad/mad

stupid Paramount.

bhampton · 02-14-2008, 12:05 AM

Haven't you guys heard the rumors.

The fact that it's paramount is likely to mean it won't be on HD DUD at all.

I think it's going to be a nice week-end.

EDIT- By the way,.. another big Paramount HD DUD release has been "delay-ed" with no new release date,.. Star Trek Season 2 is said to be coming in the summer now. They say they need more time to "prep" it. (which means make it all Blu and stuff.)

Blu-Beard · 02-14-2008, 12:06 AM

I don't want to import the UK version. I have to hard a time understanding the thick British accents, otherwise I would
