Meatballs - Blu-ray Forum

Does anyone knows what's going on with The Meatballs Blu-Ray disc? Why did Sony cancel this movie?This is one of my favorite comedys and I was so disapointed when I read that Sony delayed the Blu-Ray release of Meatballs.The new special Edition did come out on DVD this week and I'm tempted to get it,but I keep telling myself No because it will soon be out on Blu-Ray,but there has been no news.

This title was put on moratorium like so many others more than a month ago-i'm sure the blu-ray release will show up soon-likely fall/xmas 2007.

In the retail circuit it is sounding more and more like this holiday season is going to be a sneak blu-ray attack on the hd market so save your $$ for all the blu-ray releases

The SE version of Meatballs was scheduled for June 07. And then was pulled. Has their been any news on this finally coming out.

Judging by the condition of the standard def DVD, I'd have to guess they held it back for a full restoration. The SE DVD was is pretty rough shape, but it had it moments that looked impressive, upscaled.

That is the impression I got also. I think Sony intended for this to come out on Blu-ray until they realized the master simply wasn't good enough at the time for a Blu-ray release. This was way back when the first Fifth Element BD was roundly criticized for its transfer and they decided to pull back on Meatballs. I think something similar happened to The Natural.

I was digging through the trash and found this thread.

And it never came... shame... who is to blame.

They're probably waiting for a remake to be released.
