The Fugitive / U.S. Marshals (Fugitive IS remastered!)

[gettodamoofies]

I know a few people had been interested in the recently released double pack of The Fugitive and U.S. Marshals for two reasons: firstly because it's the only way to get U.S. Marshals locally and secondly because it may contain the remastered release of The Fugitive which showed up in the US back in September.

It took a while but Warner Bros. finally got back to me. Unfortunately the double pack still contains the old disc with the average detail, muted colours, combing artefacts and lossy audio. Quite frustrating to know that WB can see fit to release a remastered disc in September in the US but saddle us with the same crap which was released on Blu-ray 7 years ago only a month later. They've done it before with Lethal Weapon and Casablanca and it's the same deal here. Remastered discs released elsewhere but we end up with the crappy old discs despite it being the perfect opportunity for a re-release.

Really not on but I thought people interested would want to know. Guess I'll have to import.

UPDATE: Folks, despite Warner Bros advising me otherwise the double pack DOES include the remastered release of The Fugitive! Great news for long time fans of the film!
