National Treasure 1 & 2 - February 8, 2011? - Blu-ray Forum

ultimate_ed · 12-26-2010, 02:23 AM

I caught National Treasure playing on TV today and discovered that I don't have either of the movies in my collection.

Checking Amazon, I see that both are out and have been for a while, currently running for about $15.

However, both 1 & 2 also have listing for new releases, currently running about $20 with a release date of February 8, 2011.

So far, I've not been able to weed through listings and discussion of the current edition to find any info about these 2011 releases.

Does anyone know what will be different about these? The Amazon listing indicates the new version will be two discs vs. one for the current, but also indicates the new release will be a 1.85 aspect ratio vs. the current release's 2.35 - that I find really hard to believe.

99% sure the new releases are DVD-blu-ray Combo packs.

I noticed the same thing, I have no info, but I will be subscribing to see if anyone knows until we find out about the next release. I love these movies!

Mr. Cinema · 03-06-2011, 04:11 PM

yes, these re-releases are BD/DVD combo packs.

Wings80 · 03-06-2011, 04:32 PM

First one was great. Second one seemed a little far fetched.

I agree, the first one was really good. The second just felt a little forced. I do not have these as well so may look at picking them up.

You are right the new ones are DVD/Blu-ray combo packs. I believe both movies are very good and a must own in any collection.

Agreed. I own the original releases though, so no go for me.

With the end of the second film you get a hint that there might be a third.

no sleeves on these re-releases, right!?

Unfortunately no, unless I am incorrect. I see no reason why there would be, which is a shame.

That is surprising...it was odd that the original releases didn't have slipcovers. The re-release of Pirates got slips yet again.

IMDB lists the third movie for 2011. Not sure if it's happening though.
