Citing technical difficulties Fox and MGM Home Entertainment have revised their Blu-ray Disc release schedules for March and April, with all but two titles now postponed to as yet unknown future dates. The titles which remain on schedule and will appear on 13th March 2007 are Hoosiers and Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
The titles no longer set to appear in March are: Dances with Wolves, The Thomas Crown Affair (1999), Ice Age, Dodgeball and Commando. The fate of From Hell (which was rescheduled for March) is also unknown at this time.
The full April slate has been removed from the schedule, which includes: Dude, Where’s My Car?, The Fly (1986), Me, Myself and Irene, Tristan & Isolde, Hannibal and Silence of the Lambs. New release Turistas is also off the schedule. Original specs for these titles can be found here, with details on Turistas here
What gives here? I was hunting around for a cheap first get Blu Ray player to go neutral but titles I want keep getting pushed back with no release dates.
Is this due to piracy? I know Fox is a bleed Blu studio so I don't think them going neutral is the issue. Perhaps getting Blu Ray pressing lines operational is proving more expensive and difficult than originally thought?
