Chronicles of Riddick and Pitch Black... 3/31/09 for US? - Blu-ray Forum

sjbluray · 03-04-2009, 11:18 PM

Seriously?

I have almost gave up hope seeing these two movies on Blu Ray. On a chance, I popped into Amazon today and typed things in the search box and they are available for pre-order

COR right here on amazon

Can't wait. And Sin city is due 4/21/09

Sorry if this has been posted before

I wonder why we've had them both for two months now and the US are only getting them three months later...

I blame Torchwood for the delay.

3/31 is it then! Finally I can purchase those two movies.

Zman2k2 · 03-05-2009, 01:20 AM

Pre-order on Amazon.ca for my Canadian Brothers and Sisters.

Kyo28 · 03-05-2009, 07:13 AM

Any idea if there will be a difference between these US versions and the already released UK versions?

The U.S version of Pitch Black will be UNCUT.

OK, that's reason enough to hold off on the UK and wait for the US version. Any news on video and audio codecs?

Anyone know if this will be the whole Riddick Package- Pitch Black (2000), The Chronicles of RIddick (2004) and The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury (2004) (V)

they have a two pack of chronicles and PB on amazon for 38bucks

the description says Dark Fury, but it could be a mistake

Why is everyone acting like this is brand new information? I thought this was announced at least a month ago...

I did do a search, but did not see it. Guess I did not look hard enough. My bad for posting old news, but think of it this way, you read it twice, so you know twice as much

Besides, I thought that was canadian releases, not the US version. If a mod wants to move, this, I understand

MCT · 03-06-2009, 04:43 AM

I'm good with just Pitch Black: Directors Cut. Quite enjoyed that one.

Chronicles Of Riddick was lukewarm at best to me.

Mr. Al · 03-06-2009, 06:40 AM

The HD-DVD versions are VC-1 encoded, so Blu should get the same treatment.

robertc88 · 03-12-2009, 03:42 PM

Review for Pitch Black.

I'd give PQ at least 4.5 for the HD DVD I have.
