****.YES.!.

One of my favourite films of all time.

[nitin]

great, second favorite film of all time. Been itching for this.

[Blu-Ray Winstone]

Hope it is March or April not many preordered then - Already a good few in Jan / Feb

[manicsounds]

And hopefully, they will retain the 2-disc DVD extras, like the David Fincher commentary. I never got around to getting it before quickly going out of print.

[Le Samourai]

Can't wait for this a good news day.

[AddemFlood]

Awesome. One of my favourite films, was waiting for this to be out on Blu-ray.

[Bruce Morrison]

About time!! I hope Paramount's 100th anniversary will produce several more classic titles. For a start, it would be great to have that other Polanski classic, Rosemary's Baby.

[Arkadin]

Great news!
incredible how many people have been calling for this.
thank god Paramount seems to be getting it together somewhat.
now let's have the rest of the Paramount John Wayne and Audrey Hepburn films and I'll be mostly happy.

Stalag 17 - Excellent war flick
Seven Days In May - Great one,too
Play It Again, Sam - Shamefully underrepresented on Blu Woody.Fine comedy
Nashville
The Shootist ('76) - and other Duke's gems.

I don't think Seven Days In May is owned by Paramount. In the US, it was released on DVD by Warner. I agree, it would be great to have it on Blu though.

Part of me wants to cheer along, but part of me wants to say, Let's not get too excited yet. We don't know yet whether Paramount will put any particular effort into this release.

Anyway,thx man.You are doing a great job with all these posts about upcoming releases.Keep it up

Oh,didn't know that.Thx for the info.I know some of the 40's classics produced by Paramount is now owned by Universal.Confusing stuff,must to admit

[blame_thatcher]

About time, too.

I watched this the other week on CANAL+ HD Scandinavia and it looks fantastic. If they use the same master, i don't think many gonna be disappointed when it's released on blu-ray

[HotRats]

It'd be nice if The Two Jakes got a blu as well, its actually a good film that had the misfortune to follow a truly great one. Its a pity Cloverleaf was never made.
