Children of Men Blu-ray Bound
March 19, 2009

Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men will make its Blu-ray Disc debut on May 26 after having previously been released exclusively in high definition on HD DVD.

The move to Blu-ray will give Children of Men a new 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track and likely the identical 1.85:1 1080p transfer as was seen on HD DVD.

U-Control will also carry forward from HD DVD with a new addition of BD-Live accessibility.

Universal has set an SRP of $29.98 for Children of Men on Blu-ray which should put Amazon pre-order pricing around $20. That pre-order link, along with high-res cover art, will be available shortly.

Great news indeed - fantastic film!

Seretur · 03-19-2009, 04:59 PM

That's GREAT news. Great great great.

Also, knowing Universal, they'll probably optimize the video encode.

Same here, this is fantastic news. It's the last great suprise I've had at the theater. Just amazing, walking into this without any idea what to expect and WOW. So many classic edge-of-the seat moments. And the production design was nearly perfect. Definitely the most cohesive dystopian vision of the future I'd enjoyed since Blade Runner. The details, the details!

Can't wait.
