By BDA rules LOTR would have to be released region free.

Region coding on BD applies to new releases for a 12-month window. And, is specifically there for the reason that has forced NLs hand. Their contracts require them to protect the other territories.

So, DVD people are happy.
Blu-ray people are happy.

And HD DVD folk can tell us how useless each and every NL title were anyway.

Eh?

No, not my understanding. If New Line decided to region code Lord of the Rings, they can. If after a year they want to make a new run of them however, they have to release a version without the coding. UNLESS they add new content to it and presumably a new sku in which case they can code it again.

Doesn't matter if it's catalog or not, any title can be coded for 12 months. It's how a company handles it afterwards. The idea is that the costs of doing changes for a new edition or changing it to remove region coding is money that doens't need to be spent so it encourages studios to not code in the first place.

big dog on campus, blues brothers 2000 in comparison to hairspray is not what i meant. I meant that hairspray was a great movie and NO ONE should judge a book by its cover. Get off your high horse and think outside of the box because it DID make more money than Boon Dock Saints so yeah

I'm getting it... I thought it was awesome.

Quinthoopachiefy · 09-12-2007, 02:36 AM

I Didn't see but thought the cover art for new line is fantastic.

smd5158 · 09-12-2007, 02:37 AM

My grandparent's are about to dive into the world of high definition. I'm actually trying to convince them to buy a blu-ray player to go along with the tv...I'm actually using the fact that this movie is coming to blu-ray as a selling point. I was going to try and see if they would buy one anyway, and then I saw the announcement for this movie and figured I could use it. They freakin LOVED this movie. I personally didn't see it but may rent it.

Is that the strict interpretation of the rule? Did they leave a hole that doesn't distinguish new releases and catalogue? That's a shame.

Seems rather pointless to region code a catalogue under those conditions, so perhaps rather than deal with studios bickering what constitutes a new release (e.g. were the LOTR-EE a new release?) the BDA decided to make the wording such that, as you say, the costs would be such that it doesn't make sense to release a true catalogue title coded to begin with.

Out of curiosity, has a region coded catalogue title been released on BD?

Chris Beveridge · 09-12-2007, 02:55 AM

I'm sure there are plenty of region coded catalog titles, particularly coming out of Europe. What people need to remember is that the world does not revolve around US releases and that there are numerous areas that are in competition for distribution. And not just with films but with TV series and more. This is particularly an issue in asia where there are plenty of shows, concerts, etc that are very specific in how they can be distributed overseas through the massive corporations that invest in the films and divvy up all the rights.

While the big studios are what will get things off the ground, everything is fleshed out by all the other studios and "infrastructre".

Two different covers huh?

thebluemax · 09-12-2007, 03:00 AM

I dislike Hairspray type of films, but I WILL BUY IT anyway. Heavy support from Blu is a must to show NewLine who is boss. They have so many superb films I want on BD-LOTR, History of Violence, Seven to just name a few.

I completely agree. Hairspray was a surprisingly awesome flickl Everyone should see it. Here's hoping for lossless audio as well.

I'm a guy and I liked the movie.

mel2 · 09-12-2007, 03:35 AM

does this mean when rush hour 3 comes out this 4th quarter that it will be blu-ray and standard dvd? that would be huge. another blockbuster for blu when i didn't even think it would be released because i thought new line cinema would sit it out longer. If so, we could see a rush hour trilogy box also just like spidey, die hard, oceans. that would sell like hotcakes.
