I'm pretty sure the Rush Hour movies are New Line Cinema flicks. It may be a while before we see those movies on Blu-Ray.

I would really like to see al the blu ray ads available for download or on a disc. like that cool one with the blu lasers and cafs falling from the sky (search blu ray on youtube). i'd pay for that $hit.

iamsparticus9 · 08-13-2007, 08:02 PM

any word of equalibrium coming to blu ray? i love this movie and think it would be a good movie for a HD release...

kjacobs03 · 08-13-2007, 08:26 PM

Any word on Hero? I loved that movie and it would look AMAZING on Blu-ray!
They already have House of Flying Daggers and Curse of the Golden Flower. Why not Nero?

stockstar1138 · 08-13-2007, 08:41 PM

since espn is owned by disney, what about some of the movies/series they make like Tilt, Bronx is Burning, et.c

SonyBlu · 08-13-2007, 10:37 PM

Smokin' Aces is a Universal movie & as of right now they are HD-DUD exclusive.

Damiesmallz · 08-14-2007, 02:58 PM

Any word on these:

The Game
Atlantis (Disney)
Air Force One
Rome (TV)
Walk The Line
Saving Private Ryan

BluDrew · 08-14-2007, 11:29 PM

Since Battlestar Galactica is being released on HD DVD on 12/4, any chance that it could get released on Blu-ray for import in Europe??? I really want this, along with the Bourne movies and maybe Heroes.

ground chuck · 08-14-2007, 11:36 PM

i think that the one think we can guarantee in this format war is that anything can happen, just don't hold your breath. i too want the bourne series to go blu, but i doubt it will happen any time soon.

BluDrew · 08-14-2007, 11:43 PM

It's getting harder and harder to not buy an HD DVD player, especially at today's prices. If there's no BD announcments for these come this holiday season I might have to bite.

I think it's safe to say that BSG will definately be coming to Blu. We'll just have to wait for Universal to come to their sense first. :-/

Jimbo976 · 08-15-2007, 12:00 AM

I would guess by the end of 2008 you will be able to see this as well as all the other more popular titles on Blu.

The cost of hardware isn't the problem. Buying discs can quickly become expensive. The boxsets of Galactica, Star Trek and Heroes will cost some 400$, or one time and a half the cost of an inexpensive player.

If you wish to become format neutral, that's not a problem. But if you ultimately want to stick with one format alone, you'd end up spending several hundreds of dollars on something you wish to discontinue at some point.

Again, Universal keeps pressuring us.

I signed the boycott petition that was in a link around here.

Universal being HD-DVD exclusive isn't the only reason I signed it.
I've had a problem with NBC/Universal for quite some time now.

supabilly8 · 08-15-2007, 02:49 AM

i think i might have to go format neutral too, universal has too many good titles that i just cant miss out on, 2 of my most favorite shows, battlestar and heroes, are on hd dvd and the whole bourne trilogy, is blu ray gettin any good t.v. boxsets because i havent heard about any for a while

highdefw · 08-15-2007, 05:28 AM

Here is what I have to say:

1. Rumors have been going around since the beginning of the year saying Star Wars would be exclusive to Blu-ray. I do believe there will be an announcement sometime next year about the series. George Lucas has been busy since he is remastering all of the movies in 3-D. Like that Spy Kids movie, but without the glasses. Should look awesome. The process takes so long though, that they will only be able to convert 1 movie a year. So 6 years from now, every star wars movie will be in high def and in 3-D.

2. From what I read, 300 had grain added to the picture before released in HD. Warner said they did that to give it a more "real" feel (like film). They didn't want it to look 100% digital. I personally don't like grain...

3. Another rumor: When Saving Private Ryan comes out, its gonna have an "old film" kinda look. Even though it will be high def, they film was mastered to make it look kind of "old". Don't expect it to be 100% BD.

The movies I look forward to the most, that I would spend all my $$$ on:

Star Wars Epi 3
Saving Private Ryan
War of the Worlds
Pirates of the Caribbean 3
Transformers
LOTR 3

Pilam69 · 08-15-2007, 08:26 AM

It's like The Warriors but British and I think it would look amazing in Hi-Def. It's filmed a lot like 300 with slowdowns during fights and then back to full speed, etc. Its probably a very cultish film but I'd love to see it nonetheless. Any chance it'll turn blu?

Zvi · 08-15-2007, 05:17 PM

I don't mind paying 300$ for good HD DVD player, but I dont' want to extend format war, and also later on I don't want to be stuck with HD DVDs that will need separate player or be forced to buy dual player and pay dual price...
