Italian Job (2003) remastered on March 23rd - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

helius · 06-09-2008, 09:42 PM

Well, I think it's at least better than the DVD (though some may disagree), and it probably won't get a proper re-issue for quite a while, so I'd say get it.

bhampton · 06-09-2008, 09:47 PM

I bought it today at Wm for $15. (No tax here thank goodness.)

I fear the transfer but don't imagine it would be as bad as the DVD which looked ok as far as I remember (I rented it long ago.)

It doesn't take more than 5-10 minutes to check and yell at the horrible transfer .

bhampton · 06-10-2008, 10:21 AM

I watched it last night. It's not a refererence quality transfer like I Am Legend or something but I found it to be just fine anyway. I'm happy with it. In many scenes the detail was much higher then the DVD version (from what I can remember) and other scenes were a bit fuzzy but mostly I was ok with it. (In other words I can watch it without being distracted by the Pq)

Thank goodness I had held off importing this particular movie. This may be the first movie Paramount has remastered for Blu-ray. The first BD was pretty bad with lossy audio.

vegeta88 · 02-20-2010, 03:05 AM

Interesting. I haven't seen this since it first came to DVD. I'll have to give it a rent.
Thanks for the news!

deadhatetheliving · 02-20-2010, 03:10 AM

Sweet, I'm buying this. Glad I held off getting the other blu-ray

lilant2248 · 02-20-2010, 03:13 AM

A buy for me.

ArmyOfDarknessAW · 02-20-2010, 03:16 AM

I have the old release, but i don't like it enough to replace it unless i get a great deal.

42041 · 02-20-2010, 03:25 AM

That's nice I guess, but how about redoing the hideous wax museum that is the 1969 version while they're at it?

ManUtd · 02-20-2010, 03:25 AM

I almost bought the current one. Glad I stumbled upon this thread.

I don't think that's true, at least if you include getting it right the first time... Braveheart is obviously not an old master, Forrest Gump is considerably better than its HDTV counterpart, Galaxy Quest looks too good to be an old master, I think they're distributing Minority Report as well...

Clark Kent was referring to the fact that this may be the first Blu-ray Disc from Paramount that has been re-released with both remastered picture and sound.

phish00 · 02-20-2010, 03:34 AM

This movie was great movie a buy as I have holding out for a better release.

Blu Titan · 02-20-2010, 03:35 AM

Great news! I held off buying the initial release for obvious reasons.

hidef al · 02-20-2010, 03:38 AM

Finally, Italian Job being remastered.

I have this on HD DVD and will be getting it on blu. This will be perfect upgrade for the audio....DTS-HD

KilloWertz · 02-20-2010, 04:02 AM

I'm extremely happy about the news. I love this movie, but I sold the original release because it was barely an upgrade over the DVD copy I already have. I'll gladly buy this on March 23rd along with a number of releases that I already planned on buying. Crazy that the announcement comes barely over a month before release, but I'm not complaining.

Elbie · 02-20-2010, 04:03 AM

Great news because I liked this movie a lot.
