:D

niiiiiiiiiiiiiice. New Line in the house.

Lions gate and new line are 2 different studios correct?

Yup, got excited about something apparently already known :(

I'll take Snakes on a Plane please!

Hasn't New Line been on board all along?

I'll take Snakes on a Plane please!


Ditto. I think we've got good reason to hope for it, too, given how poorly it did in the box office. Because it's a "cult hit" that failed in the box office (like Serenity and Doom), it's a likely movie for a relatively new format. :D

I think New Line Cinema has been HD DVD and Blu-ray for a long time, but haven't announced any titles yet.

New Line (via Warner)

Is waiting until early 2007 to begin releasing titles, and plans will depend on how the fourth quarter plays out for both HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc. They'll begin with day-and-date new releases and continue with strong catalog titles like Blade and Se7en.

TBA (for 2008, based on recent press statements) - The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

TBA (based on HD-DVD promotional site and recent press statements) - Se7en, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, Blade, Dark City, Final Destination, Friday, The Mask, The Player, Rush Hour, Spawn

Yes, completely unrelated companies. New Line is affiliated with Warner Bros.

Dark City??? Drools... I cant wait. LOVE that movie!!!

wow I would like to see Blade in HD, a very vivid movie and one of the few action movies I like in recent history.

Se7en, Blade, Dark City, Final Destination, Friday, Rush Hour, Spawn, DEFINATE purchases!

The official relationship is that Time Warner owns both Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema.

This is hilarious. How did the total, utter, and complete lack of new studio support for HD DVD get turned into good news???

Utterly disappointing..

The breadth of titles announced at the BDA conference seems insurmountable. I can't see how anyone can continue supporting HD DVD given the differences in announced titles.

I can't believe I bought the 360 addon based on the FUD spread on this forum about studio defections. Absolute garbage. Not a SINGLE rumor spread here about CES turned out to be true.

It's pretty obvious which is the one that's here for the long term. I don't know if I can give Blu-ray even 6 months. I guess I like to think that the public is finally able to see past their B.S.

It's entirely possible that HD DVD is their format of choice. A definite release date from at least one New Line...will Blu-ray be so lucky?...I sure hope not! The lack of New Line in the BDA might be more telling than it is...???...hopefully!!

New Line will probably be format neutral like their parent company. Although, New Line might jump over to DTS MA even though WB does not use it so far (hell, almost no lossless support at all and only one Blu-Ray title with LPCM!). New Line has been a pretty darn good friend to DTS, and was the bigger player in 6.1 mixes.

My bet is that Se7en and Blade will earn a spot in Tier 0, hopefully we'll get to see real soon

What the hell is going on?????????????

Dark City??? Drools... I cant wait. LOVE that movie!!!
Dark City is a fantastic movie :D

So i'm assumong the anouncement from the president of universal and chairman of the HD-DVD promotion group that more than 300 titles will be released in 2007 was not good enough for you??

titles announcements are just a bonus. CES is about hardware announcements that are going to help destroy BluRay.

only reason the bluray camp announced all those titles is because they had no meaningfull announcements.

Go ahead and consider all those title announcements for Blu-ray a "going away" present... ;) Soon enough we won't be hearing about Blu-ray except to compare it to the other astonishing business blunders.

Freddy in HD would be killer. LOTR is the one hd dvd to rule them all. Love New Line dvd especially with DTS ES and cannot wait to see how they tackle hd dvd.

Dark City good, but what about The Crow?

Of all the things I wanted from CES it was more studio support the most! Boy I am pissed Warner let Sony outbid them for MGM! If that studio was onboard I could care less about the rest.

I dont see a new gap for a logo. It appears it is just designed to match the width of the content boxes above it.

At the bottom of the page when the site loads. You can see the 1/2 inch gap appear that was not there before. Maybe new studio's?

If you are talking about the gap between the text "Privacy Policy" and the DVD logo, that appears to be part of the design like I said. If you are talking about something else, I cant see it.

Besides, it wouldnt make any sense to edit the home page twice. They would just add new content when it was time.

Wow, you guys are really reading so far in between the lines that you might fall in, a gap at the bottom of a web page, LOL!!!

I was just stating that it want there before. Hey i gota have hope. :cool:

Yeah we have new studio support: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=783991 :D

Rumors are just rumors -- to put stock in them is almost always disappointing.

From what I've read, BDA presented two things at CES:
1) a number of specific coming titles that are likely to engender some interest.
2) a lot of speculation-as-fact regarding how BD is winning.

HD-DVD also presented two things at CES:
1) a number of specific new CE manufacturers and a new Toshiba player ($600).
2) an announcement of 300 non-specific new titles for 2007.

Between the two, I would say the BDA presentation is more eye catching and cheerleading. Whereas I would say the HD-DVD presentation has more fundamental strength.

BDA may have won the hoopla prize, but that doesn't mean their format will come out on top.

Man that's a lot of bile and invective in a post. Perhaps you need counseling. This is "Entertainment" this is supposed to be fun. Your investment in a player was what $200 and you're acting like you sunk you life savings into this. Come on...act a man.

Regardless of whether you make the right decision or wrong decision a winner keeps their head up high and does what needs to be done. I'd suggest that you take a hard look at why you have taken on such a defeatist attitude. You're not making HD DVD look weak...you're making yourself look weak.

I've always thought the studios would come when it made financial sense for the to do so. I'm not that upset about the lack of studios coming over because I though HD DVD would have closer to 400k player sales and frankly they came up pretty short. Now if they can hit 2.5 million total players this year then you a market that these studios will be looking to tap. Every public company wants to hit revenue numbers.

HD DVD is in the hotseat. They remain in the hotseat. I'll support them as much as I can this year but they gotta hit those numbers if they want to enter into 2008 with more parity than they have today. There's no reason for me to get upset.

New Line will probably be format neutral like their parent company.

Dan,

Do you have a link to DTS 6.1 mixes? I looked over at the DTS website and couldn't find anything. The only disc I own that is DTS 6.1 is the LOTR Directors Cut.

Thanks.

The timing seems to coincide too closely to Bill Hunt's prediction for them to not have made a choice with regards to which format is more viable.

You don't seriously believe New Line is gonna be HD DVD exclusive. I am gonna have to be the bearer of bad news: Blu-ray is here to stay. Whether we like it or not.

Here's the even bigger surprise: Representatives of both New Line and HBO were on hand at the event... and they pledged to begin supporting THD in 2007. New Line's Steve Einhorn commented, "We plan to completely support THD specifically. This will move our schedule ahead considerably."

THD = HD DVD and Blu-ray support

Warner Brothers = New Line Cinema

Warner Brothers = Blu-ray Supporter

New Line Cinema = Blu-ray Supporter

Blu-ray = LOTR Franchise

While New Line was bought by Warner they are still ran as a separate company, they make their own decisions, for example, while "new" Warner Brother movies premiere on HBO/Max, New Line's movies premiere on Starz because that is who New Line choose to go with ( Starz offered the most $$$$).

i'd prefer lions gate.

Warner Brothers = New Line Cinema

Wrong! New Line, though owned by Warner is a completely independent company! Last year, after Warner first released their HD DVD movies, New Line said that they were going to wait until early this year to decide whom they were going to support.

So far they have declared support for HD DVD. Wether they would eventually support BR has neither been announced or confirmed.

What? They said they are supporting THD. It's posted right above. That means support for both HD DVD and BD.

Warner said they were; doesn't say anything about New Line Cinema does it?

Did you not read this:

Maybe New Line's THD will have BD on both sides. lol

Build it and they will come! :D
