Spielberg and Blu-ray - Blu-ray Forum

SilverBullet007 · 08-08-2009, 11:54 PM

I'm just wondering if anybody knows when Spielberg will release his arsenal of films on Blu-ray? The format has been around for almost three years now and all we've gotten is Close Encounters, Indy 4, and a short in the Twilight Zone. When are Jaws, ET, Jurassic Park, Munich, Schindler's List, Minority Report, Saving Ryan, Raiders, Duel, Hook, Sugarland Express, (im gonna say it) War of The Worlds, Terminal, and Catch Me... phew there's more but you get the picture. When are these films coming out on Blu???

When Spielberg feels like it.

no need for another one of these threads

I know Indiana Jones Trilogy is being worked on. I can't remember if it slipped to next year though, or if it will still be out this year. I have a feeling it slipped.

Haven't heard anything on the others except for AI. I seem to remember hearing that getting an international release in the very near future.

Probably when Lucas does.

Market share is still about 80/20 in favor of DVD. I don't know how much of a market share Blu-ray needs before Spielberg decides to support the format.

vegeta88 · 08-09-2009, 02:54 AM

He said he had something special planned for Jurassic Park. I honestly don't mind waiting for each film if they give each film the Close Encounters treatment; that is probably the best box set I have.

BAH...how can you forget DUEL.

The word is that Steven Spielberg is approving Blu-ray releases of films that would not need much work on Blu-ray Disc. Meaning those that do not need new extensive bonus features and video & audio work. So expect his latest films to come out first while films like Jaws and Jurassic Park will be much later.

Regarding Spielbergs filmography on Blu-ray, I'll be purchasing every single damn one of them.

Minority Report and A.I. were rumored for this year overseas, but haven't seen confirmation or announcements.

I want Jurassic Park, AI, Minority Report, and WOTW but in due time... he has a few movies on blu ray, namely Transformers, Close Encounters, Indiana Jones 4, Disturbia, and Gremlins. All we need is a few catalog titles and we will be set.

Odd how Disturbia doesn't have Steven Spielberg anywhere on its IMDb page?
