Hey Bill,
This is more of a movie question than a blu-ray one but have you heard anything about when the first harry potter trailer will be realesed. I know there was a little one in front of The Dark Knight in the IMAX, but what about the first big teaser with actual footage of the movie?

Thanks, Bill. You answered my question perfectly.

I'm delighted to hear this, Bill, and definitely hope it turns out to be the case.

Hi Bill,

Your comment sounds a bit metaphoric.

DNR thing will soon no longer be an issue at Warner => Does this mean Warner (New Line) have now perfectly fine tuned their grain sucking machine or the issue has been pushed into the consumer's court ?

My apologies if I had asked something wrong.

You make a good point actually. If I wanted to try my hand at grain removal, I'd probably do it on something with a lot of grain to begin with - such as Commando and Predator. Then I'd also keep Arnold fans happy and wouldn't have to hear them complain "Hey why doesn't this look as good as T3?".

Any ideas what's happened with Kiss of the Spider Woman?

I think I can answer that - it now appears as released August 12.

Every indication appears to be The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor:

Seems to me that wouldn't make sense. Perhaps WB is handling Mummy in Mexico, but wouldn't it make a lot more sense for WB to put it in front of Clone Wars? Similar demographics to the baseline, WB title etc?

Rumors are that this has something to do with either Universal compensating WB for the trailer to drum up interest in Mummy or a deal coinciding with the Theme park attraction which should upon next year I believe.

That would certainly explain it then

Bill, could you please ask Warner about their plans for Peanuts on Blu-ray? They're putting stuff out on dvd and I don't buy dvd anymore.

coolmilo · 07-22-2008, 05:03 PM

Hello Bill,

Is Sony planning on shipping Starship Troopers as a single product? It's interesting that there is no pre-order available for this title.

Thanks...

If you mean the Blu-ray, there's a trilogy set available here:

I think he meant the first movie as a standalone SKU

Can't really say more on this, but rest assured, I think Warner's finally got their ducks lined up right. Might take a few months to see the full impact, but after that I think we're going to be good.

Hey Guys,

Just so you know, I'll be at Comic-Con through Sunday, so if I don't pop back in here sooner, you'll know why. Talk to you all when I get back.
