Considering the sequel released months ago, it seems odd that the first film in the series wouldn't be released roughly around the same time. Just release it already so I can ditch my SD copy.

yeah, it's one of my favorites. Seems like there should be no reason not to release the first one. I hope they aren' putting it off until the marketing phase of the 3rd installment.

For the love of God, NOOOOOO. Please release this movie in January or February, I have to many movies on order as it is.

I hope they aren' putting it off until the marketing phase of the 3rd installment.This is exactly what I think is happening. The IME on Supremacy was cobbled together mostyl from old interviews with the cast. Maybe they're waiting for the principle actors/crew to get together for Ultimatum and squeeze new Identity interviews out of them at that time.

I could care less about the extras. Just the movie will do. The D-VHS was fantastic, so I'd expect it to look just as good on HD DVD.

I did it because I concluded that the film won't be out on HD DVD until just before the 3rd film releases.

It was just a bet ... an expensive one ... but I'm now hoping that they hold off 'til summer of '08. I think that's when the final film is planned for release. And if that turns out to be true, I'll be very glad I got the DTheater tape. I've already enjoyed it several times ... it is just a such a spectacular film.

I have a feeling it won't come out until BU is about to come out. Sadly, I have a feeling BU will end up being a combo.

Whatever, it was an extravegance ... I'm still glad I have it.

Yea, I would like to see this one too, Supremacy wasn't nearly as good to me. I would buy Identity, but Supremacy is one of the few HD DVD's I don't own with no plans to buy.

LOL, that was the first thing that disappointed me about Supremacy. Also one of the reasons I prefer Identity.

So anyway, yeah Universal, where is The Bourne Identity HD DVD? I want it yesterday! :)

^ I tend not to read threads if I haven't seen the movie.


I do like Supremacy better, I saw Identity...bought/sold the DVD. After seeing it again when it aired ABC-HD, I'm now looking forward to it on HD DVD!

Would be nice if Universal would get on the ball with this release.

Seriously, once it airs/opens, it's your fault you haven't put forth the effort to see it, so if you're spoiled, too bad.

About the only thing based off of the book is the name :D They have changed a lot from the books and yes I can understand why, but I like the books a lot and thought the movies would have been awesome if they would have faithfuly followed the books. Plus Marie was a much better character in the book.

As it is the movies are entertaining. Although BU should be interesting on where the story line goes.

The 2nd movie is completely different than the book. No comparison whatsoever.

I was half-jokingly chewed out for revealing that spoiler in the HDTV Programming forum a couple months ago. I was tempted to reveal a Citizen Kane spoiler to be a bozo but only hinted at it. :)

While I had nothing to complain about with the Bourne Supremecy and found it highly entertaining, the Bourne Identity just completley blows it out of the water, its up their in my top 10 list.
