Hi
The two parts of Grindhouse is released separately on DVD September 18
But when will they be out in HD?
I haven't seen either movie so I'm restless...
Thanks
Jakob

There's a rumor going around that both parts are coming to high definition on the Blu-ray forum, from someone who spoke to Weinstein representatives at ComicCon in San Diego recently. It's unsubstantiated, and there's been no official announcement, so take it with however large a grain of salt as you'd like.

There are photos of red cases and black cases from ComicCon.

There are photos of red cases and black cases from ComicCon....neither of which are Blu-ray discs or HD DVDs. There's the traditional two-disc DVD packaging and a Best Buy exclusive steelbook case.

As an apparent rule, The Weinstein Company doesn't release movies day-and-date in high-def. I think we'll see Death Proof and/or Planet Terror (maybe not both, but at least one) before the year's out. Their window is usually 2 or 3 months, off the top of my head. They still haven't announced titles like Arthur and the Invisibles and Bobby still haven't been announced for HD DVD or Blu-ray, so I wonder if they're being pickier about what they put out in high-def these days.

Maybe they will release 1 film on each format to annoy people, or to push people format neutral ;)

Shrek 3 was just announced for DVD . . .and no HDM info was given . . TBA. Today, Weinstein is an HD DVD exclusive. Until we have an official announcement - can we please stop the with rumors.
