From Disney on 10/16:

The Hoax comes to Blu-ray

Miramax (via Buena Vista) has announced that they will bring the Richard Gere film 'The Hoax' to Blu-ray on October 16th, day-and-date with the DVD. The film will be presented in 1.85:1 1080p video with accompanying PCM 5.1 audio. Extras include two featurettes, a commentary with the film's producers, and some deleted and extended scenes, same as the DVD.


In the early 1970s, author Clifford Irving (Richard Gere), with accomplice Richard Suskind (Alfred Molina), attempts to pull off one of the greatest media scams of the century. He writes a fake biography of reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes, claiming that Hughes commissioned it, and sells the book to publishing giant McGraw-Hill. Based on a true story.

Disney to Make 'The Invisible' Visible on Blu-ray

Disney Home Entertainment has announced it will bring the recent teen thriller 'The Invisible' to Blu-ray this October.

Disney continues to impress with their commitment to quality transfers and refusal to issue barebones discs. Now if they'd just get some of the titles out of the Vault...

I'll be renting The Hoax. All the good press has gotten me curious.

We can all hope for this, but the most important thing is quality Blu-ray disks DAY AND DATE with new releases.

The Hoax may very well be the best film released this year. I really haven't seen any movie so far that's been this enjoyable. It's just pure fun to watch, fascinating stuff.

I'll be buying the Hoax as it is one of the years best, but I'd urge everyone to skip The Invisible - worst movie of the year (or at least in the top 5 worst movies so far)...just awful.
