Awesome. I just thinking about this movie the other day, wondering if/when it would be announced for BD.

PowellPressburger · 04-01-2009, 03:35 PM

hmm I guess there is no use for a Criterion Release of the film on BD at this point.

Plasmachick · 04-01-2009, 04:33 PM

Love to have this on Blu-Ray.

I wish the resale value on the CC version DVD were higher, might temp me more to sell it and double dip. I don't see Universal charging more than $25 MSRP for it though, so who knows, maybe later on down the line. Anyway WB needs to release Malcolm X on Blu-Ray ASAP! That's my favorite Spike Lee joint.

hmm...I would still rather have it on Criterion Blu...do they still have the rights I wonder?

Mr. Cinema · 04-01-2009, 07:12 PM

Wow. A catalog title from Universal that isn't a HD DVD port.

I hope Warner will do 'Malcolm X' on BD soon - that's my favourite Spike Lee film.
