Sony bringing "Persepolis" to Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

Amazon has an entry for the wonderful animated film "Persepolis", set for June 24. Can anyone confirm this? I, for one, would love to have this, although my theater experience was poor enough that I couldn't tell how much it would gain via HD.

It's just another placeholder. Sadly it doesn't mean a thing at this point.

It will come eventually, but who knows when. Star Wars placeholders have been up for over a year...

Well, it would mean a double dip for me. The black and white animation should look great on Blu, like Renaissance. Great film indeed!

Most of the "crazy" placeholders don't include a date, this does:

On top of that, this is a recent film (which would point to day-and-date) with an Academy Award nomination.

My exposure to this film has been limited to 2 previews. I'm not one for blind buys, but I'd pick this up immediately.
