This is weird. If this was true, this would be the FIRST time Olive Films releases academy-ratio movies on blu-ray (in this case, the first two titles out of the three). They've been releasing them on dvd-only for months. Maybe they're changing their policy, which would be VERY welcome.

Your links work, but if I try to find the movies on Amazon with a normal search, they don't get listed at all. Also, the only thing indicating they're blu-ray releases is the price, there is no format info yet. But that could be all normal, it's very early. Or maybe it's Amazon's or Olive's mistake, and the pre-orders will be canceled?

You shouldn't be so sceptical,man At least two very reliable sites(VideoETA;DVD Aficionado) listed it as forthcoming BD releases.So,i think it's legit.Like you said - it's too early for further infos

Damn. Format updated to DVD. I never noticed academy ratio films were DVD only at Olive Films. I was really interested in Run For Cover. Will still probably get the DVD anyway.

I do see the listings for Blu at DVDAF. Guess there is still hope.

FWIW, Olive's BD release of THE HELLSTROM CHRONICLE is in Academy ratio.

It's official now.
