Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick - Blu-ray Forum

SellmeyourDVD · 02-05-2009, 02:10 PM

The digital bits http://www.thedigitalbits.com/rumormill.html is reporting that both movies will come out in a few months.

Now there is NOTHING on hd dvd that i want. Were the hd dvd transfers good? I love these movies and i'm EXTREMELY excited about this.

Happens to me all the time, too - anyway, it's still real good news. Bring on more sci-fi / horror BDs!

jurassic_pork · 02-05-2009, 02:20 PM

even better are the rumors in that article about the so called "The Whole Bloody Affair".....maybe the urban legend will one day come to be...

Grubert · 02-05-2009, 02:24 PM

If you don't want to wait they're available now from the UK.

Zman2k2 · 02-05-2009, 02:26 PM

These will be good to get finally on blu. The transfers on HD-DVD were very good, but they could probably benefit from a re-encode for a better bitrate. I can't wait for "The Chronicles of Riddick" with DTS HD-MA, the sun-storm will sound amazing!

MCT · 02-05-2009, 02:34 PM

Digital Bits also said on 1/30 that Heat should be coming later this year

Siri · 02-05-2009, 02:39 PM

I can't wait for this

Yeah but I am pretty sure that the uk pitch black is not the directors cut.

Pitch Black on HD DVD is quite good and I own it. Didn't care for the other movie as much though the PQ is very good as well and I don't own that one. Seeing that I also have the SD DVD of PB, I ain't going to triple dip.

Mike_In_HD · 02-05-2009, 03:27 PM

I personally think these titles were some of HD DVDs best releases... I'm assuming the transfer to BD will be fantastic.

kamphausd1 · 02-05-2009, 04:49 PM

According to thehdroom.com, they'll be released on March 31.

Universal does these and their Blus are top notch. Worry not.

Both Pitch Black and its sequel The Chronicles of Riddick will be available March 31 on Blu-ray Disc either individually or together in a two-pack.

I am not a big fan of Diesel but I love Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick. They should make another one.

ScarredLungs · 02-05-2009, 05:07 PM
