Paramount re-releases to include e-movie cash, Same movie - Blu-ray Forum

scrumptious · 03-06-2009, 10:42 AM

All these titles have been released already but amazon is showing them as pre-orders

http://www.amazon.com/Face-Off-Blu-ray/dp/B001UGIRZ8
http://www.amazon.com/Top-Gun-Blu-ray/dp/B001UGIS0C
http://www.amazon.com/Tropic-Thunder.../dp/B001UGIS0M
http://www.amazon.com/Payback-Blu-ray/dp/B001UGIS02

What's the low down on this?

For Tropic Tunder it's listed as unrated cut instead of Dir cut.
I'd be pretty p****d if this is some double dipp offering.

LOL, I'm not re-buying Tropic Thunder. I am not sure how much more it could improve on.

i nearly lost it when i found out Paramount was re-releasing Event Horizon only five months after it's initial release. the PQ for that first BD kinda sucked, but from what i hear they're just re-releasing that same crappy disc with a movie ticket. Paramount really needs to get their act together before they put out all the forthcoming Star Trek BDs, because if they mess those up i'll never purchase Paramount blu-rays again.

It's not listed as "unrated cut," all that's there is an unrated label. The director's cut is unrated, so it's probably just a re-release in lieu of Casino Royale.

I don't see what they could do to improve on Top Gun. It was a solid transfer for an 80s movie with a killer audio track and a load of extras. Unless they add some never before seen "Tom Cruise goes psycho on the set" bonus feature, I won't double dip even if it is one of my all time favorite movies.

They are adding movie cash to these titles. That's the only difference.

cathexist · 03-06-2009, 12:12 PM

Hey...if Payback is both the directors cut and theatrical release on a different blu-ray...I want it.

What movie is the movie cash for in Top Gun

By the way.... watched Top Gun on Blu-ray yesterday, and I was rocking the 80's soundtrack ....... great AQ on that disc!!!!!

crazy88 · 03-06-2009, 06:24 PM

Starting May 5th, Paramount Pictures Home Entertainment will start to throw a Movie-Cash ticket on all their Blu-ray collection that have previously been released.

For Example: Event Horizon, Face/Off, Ghost Town, Next, Payback, Top Gun, etc.

It seems it would be movie-cash eticket for the new Star Trek film from JJ Abrams.

Blu-News · 03-06-2009, 10:13 PM

It's not on every Paramount Blu-ray title, only select titles.

Kynch · 03-08-2009, 05:07 PM

Heya,

A friend of mine pointed me towards this apparent re-release of Tropic Thunder occurring on May 5th.

Has anyone got further info on this?

Amazon.com

Thanks!

Blu Titan · 03-08-2009, 05:10 PM

An unrated version re-release? Dosen't make much sense to do that at this point, since the movie was just released a few months ago.

italiano17771 · 03-08-2009, 05:11 PM

I JUST got it on blu-ray and my wishlist is a mile long, no way I'll be double dipping this movie.

Blu-ray Fanatic · 03-08-2009, 05:20 PM

You see, that's why I stopped buying movies; the studios always re-release the same movies after you buy the first copy. The only copy they'll get from me is a rental.
