Alliance Titles 8/4/09: Blade 2, Blade Trinity, Mimic, Hannibal Rising

[Rhylliam]

More titles coming from Alliance on August 4th. Those that already bought Blade on blu-ray & are happy with it (even though its the incorrect ratio), should be even more pleased to see the sequels coming too(Trinity may be the wrong ratio as well, but Blade 2 WILL be 1.78:1). It is unknown which cut of Blade Trinity this will be as well. Plus this September sees the major release of the Hannibal Lector trilogy from Fox/MGM, and you can almost complete that now with Hannibal Rising (now all we need is Manhunter!). Canada also gets a 'Premium Edition' of Sin City on the 4th, which will include all of the extras from the recent US 2-disc edition.

Also on August 11th, Alliance is re-releasing Shoot Em Up, The Punisher, The Golden Compass, No Country for Old Men, The Mist, Kill Bill V1 & 2, Pan's Labyrinth, Memento, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Gangs of New York and The Brothers Grimm all as 2-disc sets. I'm assuming that the second disc (or maybe 3rd in the cases of The Mist & Golden Compass) is either a digital copy or makes the set a DVD combo... Alliance hasn't supported the whole digital copy trend, so this may be them finally getting into it. No details yet, so we'll find out when they hit stores.

EDIT: These new 2-discers are basically what I originally assumed they would be. The previous blu-ray, packaged with a DVD of the film plus a lenticular slipcover! Price at Best Buy will be 22.99, so not too bad price-wise. This line is called 'Blu-ray Essentials'. The Mist, Golden Compass & I think Journey to the Center of the Earth cut of the 2nd disc that was previously available (so no B&W Mist, or extras disc for Compass).
