Paramount Home Entertainment has announced 'The Jack Ryan Collection,' 'Face/Off (Special Collector's Edition),' 'Disturbia' starring Shia LaBeouf, and 'Top Gun' are all coming to HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc in the coming months.

While Paramount has not released any disc information for these titles, we can tell you 'Disturbia' will be released on August 7, 'Face/Off (Special Collector's Edition)' will span two discs and be released September 11, 'The Jack Ryan Collection' will be released September 25, and 'Top Gun' will take off on October 2.

'The Jack Ryan Collection' will include 'The Sum of All Fears,' 'Clear and Present Danger,' 'The Hunt For Red October,' and 'Patriot Games.'

On the speculation front, Paramount has announced 'Saturday Night Fever' on DVD will be available September 18. Since the studio has already confirmed a high definition release, don't be surprised if it doesn't hit stores the same date.

I cannot wait for Hunt for Red October. This is fantastic news

I hope they give us a TrueHD track for Top Gun... and Face Off, both those movie screams Loseless!

I'm all over that Jack Ryan collection! Excellent.

TASTY! I'm all over a few of those titles!

I cannot wait for Hunt for Red October. This is fantastic news
I'll 2nd that ! I also liked the other 3 so this is great news for HD-DVD :)

Top Gun for me!

IMO, this is the greatest single announcement of different titles that I've seen so far for HD DVD. I'd say the BD one was when they announced The Rock, Con Air, etc at the same time.

NOTE: yes, "action" is my favorite genre

If Paramount doesn't start supporting lossless, especially with these titles, I will be waiting for them to double-dip before I purchase.

top gun is one of my favorite movies for audio. what a great soundtrack.

Jack Ryan Collection would be a must, Top Gun Pretty high. But I would have to see Disturbia before I would purchase it.

I'll wait until the Jack Ryan Collection is available as separate disks (like Mission: Impossible). The only 2 I want are The Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games.

Face/Off is SO mine in Sept. :D

I hope they give us a TrueHD track for Top Gun... and Face Off, both those movie screams Loseless!


+1! Top gun would be insane!

I can't believe I have to buy the Sum of all Fears. :(

But I'll be all over Jack Ryan and Top Gun.

I can't believe I have to buy the Sum of all Fears. :(

But I'll be all over Jack Ryan and Top Gun.

LMAO!!! That is exactly what I was thinking...I'll be picking up all of these titles including SNF. This is a huge announcement IMO.

This is GREAT news. Glad to hear about more coming from Paramount. Coupled with the stuff announced from Warner yesterday (Deliverance), looks like it's going to be a very interesting Fall indeed. I thought I was going to have a bit of a break from buying movies, silly me! Top Gun, Face/Off, and the Jack Ryan Collection are musts for me. Maybe even Disturbia as a blind buy. I'd need to read up on it a bit.

Disturbia, jack ryan collection ( I love Sum of all fears, might be my favorite Jack Ryan flick)

I hope they give us a TrueHD track for Top Gun... and Face Off, both those movie screams Loseless!
From some of the talk in the Blu-Ray section and other forums, it seems that Paramount is partial towards DTS-HD MA and will eventually use this codec. It's lossless, but we need a player that will decode the damn thing.

Top Gun

I'll be buying all but disturbia.

I hope they give us a TrueHD track for Top Gun... and Face Off, both those movie screams Loseless!
DVD Talk has a member who works for Paramount and he said Top Gun should be the company's first title with lossless audio. HD DVD will get TrueHD and the BD will get a PCM track. I'm buyin' all of these.

The Man Room (http://dvd.themanroom.com/dvd-newsview.php?id=599)

Amazon here I come! I want them all.

Yessss! The Hunt for Red October is my all-time favourite movie! I'm all over that Jack Ryan Collection.

So I guess people in the Blu-Ray section misquoted that Paramount insider when they said Paramount favors DTS-HD MA?

Top gun should have loss less audio. if not i send megatron to their studio and nuke those in charge of the audio :)

I'll ask the DVD Talk member if he's heard anything about their favoring of DTS MA. I can't wait for Face/Off. The dvd had such a terrible transfer.

Im all over Top Gun and Hunt for Red October!

I can't wait for Face/Off. The dvd had such a terrible transfer.
The DVD was at least anamorphic at a time when Paramount were still persisting with non-anamorphic transfers, but yeah, it was piss-poor. So grainy. I actually preferred the laserdisc edition, both for picture and sound. Hopefully the HD-DVD will lay that disc to rest!

And Top Gun + Jack Ryan too? Hells. Yeah.

Top Gun gets priority, though i would love to own the Jack Ryan collection as well.

I'll have the lot!

I can't wait for the 640 kps soundtrack! :)

Just kidding - I hope Paramount gets its audio act together before the releases. I have not purchased a single paramount title yet because of this. And, no doubt, there's been some good ones out there.

Noel.

In for Face/Off. Probably Top Gun as well.

My guess is Top Gun on HD DVD becaomes the newest top seller when it comes out in October.

I'll be one of those getting it, along with "Hunt" and Sat Night Fever".

Top Gun!!

"Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash"

alinski...

FINALLY another good batch!

Jack Ryan and Top Gun are mine!

Done and done.

Great releases - best movie of the bunch is Clear and Present Danger.

Top Gun is a WEE bit off on the bang/hype ratio.

Definitely gonna drop some wad on these.

YowZA!! Kudos to Paramount for Top Gun! We all love it, despite the gawd awful line from Kelly M. to Tom C., "I couldn't let them see...that I had fallen for you." I laugh my keester off every time I hear her say it, but the movie delivers in spades. I'm biased though; I used to fly military, and met my wife-to-be when she was a lifeguard at the O'Club pool. :)

"I feel the need; the need for..." a very fun screening party this fall! :D

I'll probably get all but Disturbia and Sum of All Fears at some point. Top Gun and Hunt for Red October are definite purchases.

This is gonna get expensive...... :cool:

Another for top gun here. That will go good with the Patriot (blu ray, sorry I am format neutral) and 300 when they come out, and now if we could just get LOR and Gladiator in HD I would be content for a while

Soooooooooo many memories. I saw this movie opening day, the day I got my first job way back in 1997! I was 15 at the time.

If Paramount doesn't start supporting lossless, especially with these titles, I will be waiting for them to double-dip before I purchase.

You're gonna be waiting a loooong time, then.

It is going to be one expensive Fall! :eek:

Soooooooooo many memories. I saw this movie opening day, the day I got my first job way back in 1997! I was 15 at the time.

I can't wait to see this in HD. Even in SD you can clearly see the faces of the stuntmen doing the boat chase scenes at the end. This will be even more comical on HD-DVD. I love this movie, but you have to take it for what it is. A comedy action. :)

it wasn't until i saw FACE/OFF on home video that i realized how many continuity/stunt/bloopers there were...i noticed NONE of them in the theater!!!

Sum of All Fears
Clear and Present Danger
Patriot Games
and The Hunt For Red October

Wow I just looked and found out what was in that Jack Ryan collection... I'd buy everyone of these individually.

I wonder if they take into consideration all these box sets when there figuring out attach rates and software sales etc... I know the Matrix collection got a rough deal comparing two indiviual pirate sales togther but then basing that against the sales of 3 movies and counting it as one.

I think Disburbia is the only one I have not hear of, the other 6 I will pre-order and look up the seventh

I hope they give us a TrueHD track for Top Gun... and Face Off, both those movie screams Loseless!

Top Gun and the Jack Ryan collection are going to have it. TrueHD for HD-DVD and PCM for BD.

You're gonna be waiting a loooong time, then.

It's a good thing that you're wrong then.

Great flicks!

I remember seeing Clear and Present Danger in the theaters and the opening sequence with the Coast Guard cutter bouncing on the waves of the ocean...it was amazing.

As for Top Gun. Cool.

While we are waiting...some thoughts on "Top Gun"....

I know what you mean... What a great summer for movies... Face/off and Con-Air...

Top Gun will have to pick that one up, I remember when that hit theaters when I was 7yr old, it came out at the same time has the original Transformer moive LOL

I though there were more Jack Ryan movies out there.

My dream has come true, saturday nite fever in high def. I love to dance, this is a dancer's dream come true. Nite fever sound track with travolta doing him moves in high def, this is what hd dvd was meant for. WOW. Jack Ryan collection is great too.

I will definately be testing the limits of my A-20 with Top Gun. I don't know if it will ever leave my player. Do you think that they will release a special edition that cuts out the scene where Goose dies? :D

I'm all over that Jack Ryan collection! Excellent.

I hope they don't pull a Warner and sell these discs separately. Hunt for Red October is one my favorites - the rest I don't really care for.

Patriot Games maybe... but really, the only Jack Ryan is Alec Baldwin. :)

The Man Room has added the cover for the Jack Ryan Collection:

When I saw face/off the scene when they undergone the face swap was freaky as. Everything after than was enjoyable.....But I'm still gonna order it as part of my September order.

That's only available in the Special "Lucas/Speilberg" Edition. They also take out the missiles and replace them with marshmallows.

Count me in for Top Gun. My wife and I love that movie and here's hoping its in TrueHD!

I definitely won't. Unless someone gives me a free copy, there's no excuse for cutting every single extra.

I have the BD version of Face/Off (Japan edition) released by BVHE.
It has uncompressed PCM and DD tracks with English Menus.
I got so tempted and bought it. One of my happiest buy so far.
Hope that the HD DVD release does well.

Already have disturbia hd-dvd. Top gun is pre-ordered. The jack ryan collection I'll pre-order as well once its on amazon. I can't recall how well I liked face-off... might dig out the dvd and watch it again.

I will have to preorder the JR collection. I have been consistently impressed with the PQ on all of the Paramount releases so far. I just watched Disturbia last night, it was a really good movie, love DJ Caruso's work. As for them not going lossless on their audio tracks, I think it's not as big of a deal as most make it out to be. I know on Shooter and Disturbia they have given us some high quality DD+ tracks and all of the special features in 1080p, not a bad trade off if you ask me.

I watched Disturbia on HD-DVD last night and I must say that movie was great! Tense and great performances all around. I rented this, but will be buying when I find a good deal on it. The PQ and AQ was great, and that opening was just WOW!!!!

Agreed made me jump out of my seat.

Me too! I was like holy S!#t!

Have any specs been announced for the Jack Ryan collection? I can't find any on a google search and I was wondering if I missed it.
