Studio Canal to support Blu-ray?

Looks like Studio Canal will begin releasing in both formats. They said they would look into Blu-ray in 2007 and it looks like they are gearing up to not get caught off guard when the PS3 Effect comes to town.

I would presume their releases will not be region coded. The loose translation of the site is as follows.

It is next on May 10 which STUDIO CANAL, currently only supporting HD-DVD, will release its successful film, LEND TO ME MT HAND! This edition will be released in HD-DVD but also in Blu-ray, a first from the studio. One awaits more info on future Blu-ray titles from the studio and will keep you informed!

I thought you were quoting the Kelly Clarkson song.

So, what can we get out of that? I.e. titles that were HD DVD exclulsive and will be released by SC?

Something must be lost in the translation. What is that movie anyway?

I would imagine that this decision comes from the higher-ups that work in Vivendi SA, in a similar move to Time Warner who told Warner Bros to stop playing politics and get on with it.

Interesting fact, Vivendi SA own 20% of NBC Universal, so there could soon be pressure from within Universal to go neutral.

But will they region code?

Who cares if it's region coded. It's just further proof that HD-DVD is bleeding like a stuck pig.

What do you think is missing from the translation? The title? would Give Me Your Hand sound better?

The Lions Gate Blu-ray Discs of Total Recall, Terminator 2, and First Blood say Studio Canal on their cover, Stargate says Le Studio Canal +
