Why can't Escape From New York and L.A. be put into a box set?

threefiftyrocket · 05-27-2010, 07:57 PM

Escape from New York is MGM, Escape from L.A. is Paramount, no dicey on the box set unfortunately

Well, that stinks. I have New York on DVD and might be interested in upgrading if the BD transfer warrants it.

FendersRule · 05-27-2010, 11:58 PM

Escape from New York will most likely resemble what was broadcasted over HDTV...which will be in instant buy...trust me.

I doubt we will ever see what the UK has...which is a transfer that is actually worse than the DVD counterpart. Don't worry fellas, it's probably going to be a great transfer.

HOWEVER, if it's released in that STUPID DVD case, I'll still buy it, but I'm going to swap it into a Blu-ray case. Anyone know how I can get a Blu-ray label then?

csdot · 05-28-2010, 12:54 AM

the dimensions of the cover art appear to be blu-ray shaped. thats a good sign.

Bradp56 · 05-28-2010, 01:57 AM

This is great news I hope that there is a good transfer on this I love this movie.

Ex Accountant · 05-28-2010, 02:33 AM

Classic movie. Looking forward to the upgrade.

RickER · 05-28-2010, 02:43 AM

Whew, that was close. I almost sprang for the UK disc. Fist day buy for me.

I hope we get the extras from the 2 disc DVD, on the Blu. But, in the meantime i need to hold on to that DVD set UNTIL i see if we get extras on the Blu.

Preorder up.

DaleDark · 05-28-2010, 03:09 AM

Seeing as Fox is putting this out, I'd say it's a a safe bet that all the extras will be on a DVD.

MTRodaba2468 · 05-28-2010, 07:15 AM

I'll gladly get both Blood Simple and Escape From New York.

LordoftheRings · 05-28-2010, 08:10 AM

* Blood Simple: Bravo!

* Escape from New York: I don't think so.

Porkchop Express · 05-28-2010, 12:21 PM

I'll definitely pick up Escape From New York

It looks like it will be in a Blu-Ray case.

Crimson King · 05-28-2010, 01:20 PM

Let's hope that Fox gives these a good treatment.

No Patton or Sparticus like transfers pleeze!

BaronVH · 05-28-2010, 02:09 PM

The Escape from New York DVDs were really very bad. I seem to remember the BD releases in other regions were bad. Hope it was given a good transfer.

Cortiz · 05-28-2010, 02:20 PM

I have the the 2 disc collector's edition with lots of extras and the transfer is a big improvement over the original DVD release. If MGM does not release all those extras from the collector's edition and improved transfer, I'll pass........

Jerome · 05-28-2010, 04:37 PM

I am pretty sure the extras will be only available on the dvd like the combo Blu-ray + dvd of Live and let die in L.A. and Thomas Crown
