Universal's HD-DVD slate for the year

[ProvenFlipper]

It looks like even the MS-DVD super supporters aren't even that excited about Universals announcements. Most of them seem like they are going to pick up only 10 of the 50+ titles that are announced for the next six months. They are complaining that Universal isn't releasing enough modern/blockbuster type films.

I guess Amir could buy quantity or quality, and he went for quantity.

That's the other thing - are the majority of these titles going to be the best representative of the HD-DUD format?

Even the stronger catalogue titles, like Bourne or Bruce Almighty, jjust how much effort is truly going into those? Not as much as newer fare like "Breach" or "Hot Fuzz" I'm sure. And I'm sure transfers on stuff like Knocked Up and Bulletproof will be 3rd rate at best.

Does this stink of "contractual obligation" or what?

That's probably because they haven't really had any recent blockbusters Too bad, so sad...

You can't release what you don't have.
