Angel Heart (Alan Parker - 1987) and Jacob's Ladder (Adrian Lyne - 1990) new Blu-rays - Blu-ray Forum

Pecker · 07-13-2015, 01:33 PM

Two personal favourites, both being re-issued by Lionsgate this August:

Angel Heart: http://www.amazon.com/Angel-Heart-Bl...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Jacob's Ladder: http://www.amazon.com/Jacobs-Ladder-...AG9DH9S64RV32W

I wonder if either or both are getting 'the treatment'?

Likely just repackagings with UV codes. Lionsgate doesn't do remasters.

Pecker · 07-13-2015, 01:44 PM

Probably.

But I live in hope.

The newest Terminator 2 release was a re-encode.

God I hope not, just bought the US Angel Heart!

I cant see it looking much better than it does here though, a noticeable step up from the UK one.

If you enjoy Angel Heart, the Korean release is really nice:

Very nice set! But is it same transfer as the US disc since that is the best PQ? Interesting to see DTS-HD MA 2.0 on Korean since US disc only have DD for that but both have DTS-HD MA 5.1.

Well, that's TERMINATOR 2 and Van Ling had something to do with that disc. We're talking about Angel Heart and Jacob's Ladder. No way these will be new encodes.

More over -- what's wrong with the Blu-Rays that are out there? They were both AVC and fairly recent masters, and both looked pretty good as far as I remember.

Both good movies and could use remasters, but at the same time are pretty acceptable - especially Jacob's Ladder.

Lionsgate.....lazy *******s.

Why not release something new, like ROTLD 3 uncut?!

Agree! Seems like they only release the same 7 or 8 titles over and over, like Warner. There's literally hundreds of untapped catalog films and they choose these same ones

Because these discs are already made. Hence, very little cost to re-release.

ROTLD 3 uncut would take money.

I'd be up for a 4K remaster of Jacob's Ladder. One of my favorite films.
