'Escape from Alcatraz' (Clint Eastwood) -TBA - Blu-ray Forum

Akijama · 10-11-2012, 04:37 PM

Great news coming from Paramount today!Paramount Film Club remarked (via their FB page) that Escape from Alcatraz is being prepared for its Blu-ray debut later next year!
Not much of a surprise though,since it's a great,popular movie,and since Warner now distributing a good chunk of their catalogue (and Warner loves Clint!).

Yeah!!This is on my wishlist of 'wish it would come to Blu-ray'

Blu Titan · 10-11-2012, 04:44 PM

Great news on this release. Keep them coming. I really expect a decline in the amount of posts claiming that the only way to buy a catalog title is to pay $35...or maybe not

.

I have been waiting forever for this! Can't wait!

BarnDoor · 10-11-2012, 04:44 PM

If Warner is releasing it then a digibook would be nice.

Pauliesr · 10-11-2012, 04:46 PM

Great movie. Another one that should be out sooner though

Great news that it's coming out. Not so great that we have to wait a whole year.

Sweet. This was never released anamorphically on DVD and this gives me a good reason to chunk the non-anamorphic piece of junk.

Meathead · 10-11-2012, 06:16 PM

Too bad it's not this year for the 50th anniversary of the real escape

I'd still like to know if the three guys ever actually made it.

No man eating sharks in the bay from what I have read or heard,more than likely drowned in the strong currents,did they?didn't they?it will probably remain a mystery forever.

Great news. I remember i saw this on TV many years ago and enjoyed it. Patrick McGoohan is also in it.

No, I never caught that, but I remember seeing this story on Unsolved Mysteries. Ha that show always freaked me out. Robert Stacks voice and that creepy music.

TylerDurden · 10-11-2012, 07:40 PM

I hope it's the uncut version seen on TV all these years.
