Any news on these two films yet? Can't wait for them. :)

Hopefully soon- Both are very good films

They both would look amazing...can't wait.

I agree awsome movies

Indeed.

I'm hoping braveheart is reference coupled with more commentaries and extras. it was such a wonderfull film for its time.

Never seen the second but I will definately pick up Braveheart on BD the day it comes out.

Apocalypto was great. Definitely worth owning.

Agree. Tremendous love for this movie. Its going to be my first BD.

I'll probably pick up Apocalypto. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Braveheart would be nice as well but I haven't watched it in years.

Braveheart will be a definite buy for me. Apocalyto, I'm not too sure, though both could definitely be reference titles.

I'd get Braveheart in a second; one of my favorite movies. I'm hoping this is one of the catalog releases The Digital Bits said Paramount is working on but not yet ready to announce.

Given that Paramount uses MPEG2 on Blu-Ray, this will have to be on a BD50. Cannot wait. At a minimum, Paramount has to provide MPEG2 at 25-28 avg rate for video, and DTS 1.5mps...

I will be picking up both of these titles when made available!

Braveheart is one of my favorite movies.

And neither one has anything to do with great movies like Braveheart or Apocalypto.

The man's in a lot of great movies. I'll be buying several of them as soon as they're out on BD. Most anxious for The Passion Of The Christ.

Please keep on topic. Discussing religon or politics are against forum rules. Post of such nature have been deleted.

I have the D-Theater of Passion Of The Christ and it looks and sounds incredible.

I need Braveheart to be announced ASAP!!!!

Are Passion and Apocalypto done on HDCAM or film?

I saw Apocalypto at the cinema a few weeks ago and thought it was absolutely brilliant. Both myself and my friend (that I went with) both said afterwards that it would be a stunning HD experience in the home..cant wait.

Apocalypto looks like it is going to be one kick ass movie. I never got to see it in theaters sadly, but I am buying it when it comes out. Same goes fro The Prestige. Can care less about the boring jesus movie though.

Apocalypto was a great movie and should be an HD masterpiece.

The Passion of the Christ just hit the history geek in my greatly. Makes me wish we could see a dub of the old Sword & Sandal classics like Ben-Hur and Spartacus in the original languages. Also makes me disapointed that HBO's Rome is in English...

Apocalypto was done on a Panavision Geneisis Digital Camera. Same cam used in Superman Returns but I'm betting that Apocalypto looks much better. Loved it in the theatre.

I do not know what the Passion was captured with.

Passion was interesting despite it being on the boring side until they had to go supernatural after he was crucified, which I think ruined the whole point of the movie. He was not meant to be portrayed as a god, and then the last scene just threw that all out of the window just to please christians.

I'm 99.9% sure that THE PASSION was shot in true anamorphic 35mm Panavision.

It pleased me. Sorry if you don't agree that Jesus was a God.

Since you were able to make your opinion of this film and it seems for the most part ignored or accepted, I have to disagree with your post and theory of why the film had the resurrection. If the movie did not have Jesus rising from the dead in the end, the whole meaning of the movie would have been lost. It was not tacked on to please Christians but there because it was the reason the film was made in the first place. Whether or not the movie was going to have subtitles was in question early on as Gibson said in an interview I watched. However that would require either knowing the languages spoken or reading the Bible to understand what was being said or what was going on. Overall it was too bloody for young kids to see and the movie's message is not clear unless you believe in the Devil on Earth (since Satan makes an appearance at the start), and that Jesus is God and not simply a man who was crucified for his crazy notions. Religion aside, this movie should look excellent in Blu-Ray since the SD-DVD is of extraordinary quality already when upconverted. There are many people who watch this movie simply for the merits of excellent filmmaking and others like me who watch it for religious reasons. To me, it was a very hard movie to see and not something I enjoyed watching. However when the movie was over my heart went out to Jesus and I felt my faith strengthened even more than it already was. Peace

I haven't seen Apocalypto yet, looking forward to getting it on Blu-Ray :)

Superman Returns was softened up a bit and looked that way in the final print. I know the Genesis HD camera is capable of "the best" HD quality possible and would hope Apocalypto didn't get a softening treatment..

It pleased me. Sorry if you don't agree that Jesus was a God.

Hes a profit, not a god, christianity isnt supposed to be polytheistic and idol worshipping.

I know against the rules, delete this both, just had to reply.

The Passion cinematography was stunning but I am not sure I want to seat through such torture again in 1080p. Torture implies the graphic content of this film ...it was not a comment on the film itself.

Braveheart is in my top 3 (of course).

I just strongly dislike the continuity issues during the Stirling battle scene where Wallace has no weapons, then has an axe, then has no weapon, then has his sword. Among others...

Don't they hire people to keep the movie in continuity? Ugh.

I bought into the HD-DVD side for price reasons but can't wait to see Apocalypto. The Mayan culture is very interesting to me and I am surprised it has taken so long for Hollywood to make a movie about it. Kudos to Mel for doing this.

So is this the title that will get me to buy a BD player? IOW, will this title be BD only or is it made by one of the studios that support both formats?

Greg

BD only.

Having watched Braveheart on DVD recently, I am looking forward to this BIG TIME. Here's hoping that it gets the Special Edition treatment it deserves.
