Once - Destined to be DVD-Only? - Blu-ray Forum

helius · 04-23-2008, 09:55 PM

I know, I know, every movie benefits from Blu-ray. I'm just wondering, given Once's very limited budget and the lower-quality camera used, is this movie destined to forever be a DVD-only release? What do you think?

I loved the film, and even recently broke my no-more-DVDs rule for it, as its price dropped to $15.49 on Amazon. It's still more than most Blu-rays I've bought, but we all know about Fox's prices.

Actually I try not buy dvd at all now as well. But I loved this movie too much not to see it again. I watched it at a local art house theater and it easily became my 3rd favorite film of 07, behind Into the Wild and Zodiac.

I felt like it would be a long time before this one reaches blu if ever.

Think how great a possible Blu-Ray's Audio might be!!! Even if the Video couldn't be much improved, the Audio could be amazing.

Lower quality camera? The camera used was the same model used for Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of Our Father. Well, one of the cameras used...

My bad. I heard it was shot on a camcorder, but IMDB says otherwise. Now I just want it in hi-def even more though
