In the Watergate Building, lights go on and four burglars are caught in the act. That night triggered revelations that will drive a U.S. President from office. Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman) grabbed the story and stayed with it through doubts, denials and discouragement. Directed by Alan J. Pakula and based on the Woodward/Bernstein book, the film explores a working newspaper, where the mission is to get the story – and get it right.

Great movie. We need more 70s classics on blu-ray!

I haven't purchased a Digibook in a while (still waiting on Doctor Zhivago to come down to a reasonable price).

[PowellPressburger]

I wish WB's could get THE CANDIDATE released on DVD and BLU... the reason why I mention this title is that a few years ago during one of the WB's HTF chats someone inquired about the title and they stated that Redford had recorded a commentary track for the film etc... so the DVD never came to light... fingers crossed for a new DVD / Blu-Ray release.

Awesome news PP! I love this movie. And, unlike many other "based on a true story" movies, All the President's Men is historically accurate and a great way to learn about the Watergate story for those not interested in book learning.

[Weirded Wonder]

Great news! Fabulous extras! I cannot wait for these titles.

[marooned99]

Good release. This is one of my favorites and I am looking forward to adding this to the collection.

[Bruce Morrison]

Yes, great news. With the announcement of this release and 'Network' plus the promised 'Barry Lyndon' later in 2011, Warner are definitely showing the way to the other studios as far as releasing their back catalog titles is concerned. Universal is the only other studio that currently seems to have any interest in exploiting its back catalog titles on Blu-ray.

Perhaps studios such as Paramount will finally get the message that there is a demand out there for these classic titles.

Good News,thank you

[Arkadin]

I think Paramount is broke so don't see much changing with them.
They just sold the rights to Iron Man 3 and The Avengers to Disney so what does that tell you?
trust me I would love the centennial collection dvds on blu more than anything, but it's not looking good.
as far as this news--FANTASTIC!
great film.
now where's "Papillon", "Mean Streets", "McCabe and Mrs. Miller", "Giant", and "The Outlaw Josey Wales"?

Definitely +1 for 'Mean Streets', 'McCabe & Mrs Miller' and 'The Outlaw Josey Wales'!

I obviously know about the problems at MGM and Miramax, but I hadn't heard that Paramount were in any particular financial trouble. I knew they'd licensed out a few titles to Lions Gate and Disney, but I thought they were simply reckoning that it would be a better deal for them to do it that way for those titles. I can't believe they wouldn't want to do their own BD releases for titles such as 'Chinatown', 'Rosemary's Baby' and 'Once Upon A Time In The West'.

[Adam_ME]

Cool. Another DVD I can replace. Now all I need is Network and I can get rid of that WB box set that also included Dog Day Afternoon.

Edit: Heh, I just noticed the other thread for Network. I've been waiting forever for that one.

[Arkadin]

yeah they are letting Olive films release some old titles that have never been on dvd; but it just seems like they are getting out of the disc business.
or at least engaging in some serious consolidation.
I mean why else would they be deleting so many of their catalog dvds?
maybe they will set up an archive collection soon; who knows?
It seems clear that while they may not be as bad off as mgm, they are clearly concerned about their financial health.
I think they must have a ton of debt that they are very concerned about.
the slow trickle of catalog bds will most likely continue from Paramount in the coming year, with the emphasis on sl...ooooooooooooow.

[Robert George]

Nice. Hopefully The Right Stuff is not far behind.

...Uh, that Disney/Marvel didn't want future disputes over property rights for films which weren't already in full-production yet at Paramount?

What that has to do with "The Film That Launched a Thousand Journalism Students", however, I know not.

Major +1 !! Great selection of extras, esp. the Robert Redford Commentary track. Excellent movie, hope the transfer & audio prove worthy to the film itself (mainly the audio, as this Is an older film)

[Aerodude73]

Actually, if you read this thread, starting at Post# 100 - it tells exactly what went down. They sold the Worldwide MARKETING & DISTRIBUTION Rights to DISNEY for $115 Million for both films.

From the Story/Link above:

Walt Disney Pictures is spending $115 million to become the worldwide marketer and distributor for the upcoming Marvel Studios productions Iron Man 3 and The Avengers. Paramount Pictures will remain the distributor for the 2011 releases Thor (May 6th) and Captain America: The First Avenger (July 22nd).

[Arkadin]

good points all around.
regardless of that situation, I don't think anyone is going to argue that Paramount isn't at some kind of serious crossroads regarding dvds and their film catalog.
how aggressively they release blu-ray catalogs in the next year will tell us a lot about their current status as far as blu.
I would love to be optimistic, but I'm just not.

and now back to your regularly scheduled thread on All the President's Men.
