Come on WB give us my favorite movie of all time and no 1080i BS. Screw Harry Potter and Batman give me HEAT! Gdam if I see one more post on here about Batman I think I'll puke!

That movie is great - the audio would probaly loosen my drywall nails....lol :p

I used to use the scene when they're leaving the bank to show off my sound system. Great movie, I didn't buy the latest DVD that came out in the last year, but I'd buy it again on HD DVD. :)

Most. Intense. Urban. Shootout. Ever!

Let's mix in a question mark in our titles. I was excited till I saw it was another "wishing" thread. ;)

The misleading thread titles are a bit out of control. I honestly thought that WB had announced Heat when I read that.

thread title edited

Thanks to whoever changed the subject of this thread. No thanks to whoever came up with the original one.

Batman Returns is the best of all the Batman's what do you guys think!!!!!! :D

This is going to sound like a thread crap....but....

The recent rash of "When are they going to release X?" Or, "Do you think they are going to release X?" really don't add much to the discussion. The possibility exists for any title to be released, so unless there is some great inside rumor or list of titles that a studio releases the discussions are rather empty.

Just My 2 cents

Last I checked they were still looking for a proper master for Heat. That was why the 2005 SE was still using the same master as the original release. This was on an old list of movies from WB saying they needed to find a better master first before they would release it.

I agree. Unless the poster can provide a link showing a title has actually been anounced, or some other information suggesting it is about to be released (not a link to some "wish for" on another forum), I think these threads should be avoided. They're just clutter.

thanks

No problem. That was a little too much.

One of the best films of the 90's. How about a Michael Mann box set of Last of The Mohicans, Heat, Collateral and Miami Vice in HD?

HEAT is probably one of the best movies since the days of David Lean

Most. Intense. Urban. Shootout. Ever!
One of the coolest scenes ever filmed IMO. I'd definitely pick this up in HD.

I'd add The Insider and Ali: Director's Cut to that list.

For a Michael Mann box set I'd want these included:

Ali
Collateral
Heat

have you guys seen "la takedown"?

it's a tv movie directed by michael mann. it's heat! just the tv version. smaller budget.

Miami Vice has already been announced for the most part. It is on the coming soon list on the HD DVD page and Universal made mention of it awhile back. The only other title that isn't from a BD only studio is Collateral, which was Dreamworks, which is distributed by Paramount. But no word on DW titles yet. I would love to see Collateral on HD DVD though. And I will love to see the other Mann titles in HD later providing the transfers are good.

"HEAT" baby! That is indeed the perfect movie for HD DVD!

Yes. I have the 05' SE and the video isn't any different than the original release. It would be nice if Warner could get a pristine print and give us a great HD DVD. Until they get a new print I would hold off on buying the HD DVD if it ever gets released.

There are just a bit fewer artifacts on the 05 release, but it's the same transfer - I was so disappointed about that. Hopefully Warner will do a real 1080p transfer for this title.

Oh man I'd get a chubby if this movie came out in the enar future. It'd be fantastic in hd and I am sure the audio in say TruHD would be incredible.:)

eM too!

Only if it's not a 1080i master! A brand new optimized for HD 1080p transfer with master grade, high resolution Dolby TrueHD audio PLEASE!!!

well at least HDDVD has Goodfellas!

not date yet ?

the DD on the laserdisc has more punch than the dd on the dvd.

That's why you use sheetrock screws for drywall. :)

I have the Japanese "Heat" release, much better video and DTS that may be full bitrate, not sure on that

I want Heat on HD-DVD very much so

Hopefully they'll correct the color shift that occurs about halfway through the movie... I't really bad because is occurs in the middle of a shot.

BTW... Bring back the LD mix, that was true demo material. When I was working at an independent home theater store, we used robbery scene from Heat and the opening sequence from from Stange Days to show off the abilities of a near perfectly designed 5.1 mixes... Yes, we actually used R-Rated material as long as kids were not present and the customer was not offended...

I love this movie too except I always wanted it to end 15 minutes before the actual end. It feels like it has two endings.

Such a great movie. In HD would be awesome.

The closing scene between Deniro and Pacino is one of the best I've ever seen. The incredible score just adds to it.

Come on WB we are begging for this film in HD.

John I think that would be Moby wouldn't it, not score ? "God Moving over the Face of the Waters", to be exact, yeah I am a Moby fan so sue me :p :D

I haven't seen Heat in a long while, could be wrong

-Gary

HEAT in Dolby TrueHD 5.1

It's one of those few movies that if you're ever channel surfing and run across it, you stay and watch until the end, regardless of how long it takes.

You are correct sir!

OT: Good soundtrack. I think I bought it right after I saw this movie in the theater for the first time. Highly recommended. </OT>

http://media.movieweb.com/galleries/468/352/lo/bw7.jpg jeez i got HEAT DTS japanese edition and havent opened it yet !! :)
might do that
the HEAT region 1 DD is not of the same caliber the AC3 on the ld. diffrent mix likely or recorded level.
i remember how long we all awaited the laserdisc after the 1995 theatrical release.

the Japanese DVD with DTS is killer, open it now and watch it

the shootout in DTS is enough make it worth it to own that Jap DVD (and no that slang is not derogatory, I love Japanese people and their culture)

Heat isn't even on the pre-released lists from Warner, so I doubt seeing it for a long while

but maybe Warner will read this post, also we could see how good a movie of this length fits on a 30 gigger, there wouldn't be any extra's if it is possible, it is also 2.35:1 which would help some

-Gary

BUMPing this thread, on the slim chance that the squeaky wheel DOES get the grease.

Among WB titles, I am more anxious for Heat to come out on HDDVD than I am for The Matrix...

Waner said Heat's not coming until 2008 according to a interview they just gave.

Any news on if heat will make it to hd?

I too want HEAT, but I want it after WB goes HD DVD exclusive. ;)

Definately in my top 10 of movies watches over and over again. A timeless classic. I just rented Miami Vice and was dismayed that Michael Mann would put his name on that one. It was thoroughly average at best. Heat and Collateral were his best films to date. I'd buy both in a heartbeat.

I must have

HEAT

It's also in my top 5 favorites. I got my Matrix set ... HEAT is next. C'mon!

You are so right. I've done this more than a few times even though I own 2 copies of it already.

I'd wait in line overnight for that one. (Well, not really, but you know what I mean.) I am a huge Michael Mann fan and I think Heat and LOTM would look amazing in HD.

come on... all you want is about 15 minutes of the movie... lol...

come on... all you want is about 15 minutes of the movie... lol...

Wont deny thoose 15 minutes would be worth the movie alone, but the rest is very good aswell.

Also think they should relese last of the mohicans aswell.

I first saw Heat when it was just released on VHS. I loved it then, and I still love it to this day. Even after seeing it dozens of times. And I would still feel the same, even if the "shootout", weren't there. It's just a good movie, with so many famous people. Even 'The Ripper' from Last Action Hero is in Heat. He's the guy, in the wheelchair, that sells Neil (De Niro) the bank job.


Oh, yeah, and I would definitely buy Heat in HD. :)

the DD on the laserdisc has more punch than the dd on the dvd.

I am glad I am not the only one who finds the laserdisc audio far superior to the DVDs. At the beginning of the movie when Val Kilmar is sitting in the big truck and the camera zooms in on him through the windshield, there is a radio station playing in the background that leads perfectly into the robbery scene.

On the DVD, that fulness is missing, and IMO completely ruins that scene. After hearing the laserdisc audio, I was so disapointed with the DVD for this movie.
