Fox and MGM Unveil Blu-Ray Exclusive Worldwide Releases for 2007
Aug 20 at 15:59


29 Titles To Debut Packed With Soon-to-Be-Announced BD Industry 'Firsts' - PLUS
- Fox's First TV Title 'PRISON BREAK' FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER
And LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD and Other Titles To Debut Day-and-Date on BD/DVD --
Blu-ray Out-Performing HD DVD 2-to-1 At Retail in 2007 --

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment (TCFHE) today unveiled an
aggressive global Blu-ray Disc release strategy including 29 new release and
"must-have" catalog titles that runs through the end of the 2007 calendar year.
Among the many highlights of the impressive worldwide slate are six day & date
BD/DVD new theatrical releases from Fox including the $241 million box-office
family favorite FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER and the $335 million
box-office action powerhouse LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD, four day & date BD/DVD (U.S.
only) new theatrical releases from MGM, 19 'must-have on BD' films from the two
studios' libraries, Fox's first-ever TV release on BD - PRISON BREAK -- and
Fox's intention to release at least one state-of-the-art title per month
featuring numerous BD 'firsts.'
The only high-definition packaged media universally supported by the film,
music, gaming and computer industries, BD is the #1 selling high-definition
packaged media. In fact, on a worldwide basis, BD is averaging nearly 70%
market-share per week of all high definition titles sold this year and, in the
U.S., it is out-performing HD DVD by a margin of 115%.
"Given that Blu-ray has consistently outsold HD DVD all year, and this is
the case for any titles released by any studio in both formats, we believe that
the time is right for us to accelerate our activities and help convert the
nearly 60 million high definition households worldwide into Blu-ray households,"
noted Mike Dunn, President Worldwide, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
"By the end of this calendar year there will be expansive availability of
technically vibrant releases featuring never-before-seen, advanced BD-J
interactivity as well as a broad offering of playback devices at attractive
prices that will prove to any doubting consumers once and for all that Blu-ray
is the only way."
"And as Blu-ray continues to grows stronger, it has become survival of the
fittest which is most apparent in the retail landscape where our eager and
growing global Blu-ray consumer base has caused a shift that is forcing the
allocation of more space to the format that is selling the best. And, in many
recent instances of note, top retailers in North America are choosing to promote
the Blu-ray format exclusively in their stores," continued Dunn.
Among the BD industry 'firsts' from the Studios' upcoming global release
slate are picture in picture capability, enhanced viewing and surround sound
modes with the ability to mix and match picture and sound, direct access to
in-movie features through one of the four colored buttons on the BD remote and
the most technically vibrant BD-Java interactive multi-player challenge and
trivia games to date. The Studios' slate also takes full advantage of BD-Live
functionality this fourth quarter. Internet-connected consumers will enjoy
unique, title specific "web-enabled" interactive features and games and
"web-exclusive" downloadable content with the ability to connect and interact
with other broadband BD users worldwide.
Cementing its leadership position within the industry - previous BD
releases NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM and X-MEN THE LAST STAND rank in the Top 20
best-sellers - the vast majority of the Studios' upcoming global slate will be
presented on 50 GB dual-layer discs with advanced BD-J interactivity and feature
numerous Blu-ray exclusive high-definition bonus materials that further realizes
BD's incredible potential. Consumers will enjoy the superior video and audio
elements of AVC encoding and Lossless HD audio on many of the coming titles as
well as enhanced and integrated menus, personal scene selections, search
indexing, trivia and other title specific games and high-definition bonus
materials.
Upcoming BD-J features exclusive to priority catalogue titles from Fox and
MGM include an "Alien Scavenger Hunt" (INDEPENDENCE DAY) that challenges players
to earn points by identifying the correct number of aliens in select scenes to
unlock additional bonus features; a "Global Warming Trivia Track" (THE DAY AFTER
TOMORROW) where users must correctly answer questions about global warming to
keep the Earth's temperature from rising and being destroyed; and a historical
and geographical pop-up map (MASTER & COMMANDER) that tracks the location of
Captain "Lucky" Jack Aubrey and his enemies.
Listed below are the upcoming Blu-ray Disc releases from Fox and MGM
excluding new theatrical day & date BD/DVD releases. EXACT TITLE CONFIGURATIONS

current DVDs, and is particularly well-suited for high definition feature films
with extended levels of additional bonus and interactive material. Blu-ray also
features the most advanced copy protection, player backward compatibility with
the current DVD format, connectivity and advanced interactivity.
Fox takes advantage of the next generation format's high definition
technology and advanced functionality to present its titles with the highest
quality audiovisual elements. Showcasing picture quality with six times the
resolution of DVD and theater quality "uncompressed" audio for the purest
digital sound, the cutting-edge discs also feature enhanced and integrated
menus, games, high-definition bonus materials and Java-encoding for more dynamic
and sophisticated interactivity.
The Studio's commitment to emerging technologies is dedicated to enhancing

Uh...

Can we seriously combine all these threads into one? lol

good, I'd hate to have to buy the Simpsons film on DVD.

Most likely they will get delayed.....

If they dont I will buy the following.

Finally some good news on this dark day :)

Could we hope for Alien this year as well? ;)

I don't see a major studio going exclusive to HD being "neutralized" by a string of announcements from Fox, big movies or not. Which is not to say I'm not going to be broke this fall so long as Fox has learned its lesson on price and supplements.

I don't have much hope for any of the catalog announcements. I suspect the new ones will get released, however. It still isn't a big deal for Fox to announce that they are in the BD camp. Most suspected that, even though there wasn't a lot of evidence to support it.

did you really use the word neutralize to describe this?:eek:

Sweet now there are some must owns.

I will pickup many of those titles. But I wonder how many will get delayed.

As good as that catalog release schedule looks, it will be easily neutralized by the day and date release by Transformers.

Catalog titles just don't sell that well.

"Fantastic Four 2" and "Live Free and Die Hard" will be much better performing, especially since a majority of the BD supporters are PS3 owners and that caters to their demographic.

Fox is simply trying to minimize the collateral damage from Paramount. If Fox had been releasing titles all along like they originally announced, then the 65:35 marketshare might be wider.

I don't see a major studio going exclusive to HD being "neutralized" by a string of announcements from Fox, big movies or not. Which is not to say I'm not going to be broke this fall so long as Fox has learned its lesson on price and supplements.
Well, there were 2 upcoming Paramount/Dreamworks titles I was interested in, and there are 10+ titles on Fox's list I'll buy, so Fox's re-emergence is quite significant to me, if not completely removing the sting of the Microsoft bribe.

Just means I won't be buying any Paramount or Dreamworks titles on DVD or HD now, same as Universal, not until they turn back to the good side of the Force.

And I'm probably far from alone in that position. I'll go back to the theater to see TF a 2nd time and that will have to hold me for a while. No hopes of replacing my stolen Gladiator any time soon either. I'd been waiting for a BD announcement of that title too. Sorry HD DUDies; looks like Fox will get more of my money than I was ever going to give you anyway.

I don't see a major studio going exclusive to HD being "neutralized" by a string of announcements from Fox, big movies or not. Which is not to say I'm not going to be broke this fall so long as Fox has learned its lesson on price and supplements.

I agree, Fox re-announcements do not compare to the Paramount announcement, all Fox did was give us new dates for discs they promised would be out starting in May, Fox was exclusive to BR, so no change there, Fox is going to put out discs day and date, they were doing that already before they stopped putting out BR discs, their announcement is nothing more then "Fox is coming out of it's Blu Ray hiatus."

While I agree that it is nice to see Fox announcing titles again and there are some GREAT titles in there, they are still short of what they had already announced and indefinitely delayed before. There were some big titles on slate for Fox and MGM that are now no where to be found. Also, Paramount's exclusive venture has some titles that more than match up to that list:

Blades of Glory
Top Gun
Hunt for Red October
Patriot Games
Sum of All Fears
Transformers
Shrek 3
Saturday Night Fever
Zodiac
Next
Face Off
Star Trek TOS

And that is only what's been announced. Remember that Paramount actually has been the highest grossing studio this year so far, with two of its properties in the top 5 highest grossing of all time for that studio (Transformers and Shrek 3). Warner is 2nd this year for studio gross.

You also have Beowulf, The Bee Movie and Stardust for Paramount/Dreamworks coming this year.

QFT.

Neutralize :D

Correct :(

This hardly neutralizes the loss of paramount. I'm sorry but Fox should have had many of these titles announced and released already.

Fox had better do the following:

1) ACTUALLY RELEASE THESE DAMN TITLES!!! No more bait-and-switch BS!

2) Drop MPEG-2 compression and DTS HD-MA audio.

3) Lower the prices for catalog titles. $39.95 for day-and-date is fine since everyone not named Disney is guilty of the same practice.

4) Port over all the extras from the DVD counterpart.

I thought because of the camera used for 28 days later that it wouldn't look good in HD. Are you guys sure it's not 28 weeks later.It is due out on Oct 9. that would make it day and date.

I think the list is wrong.

I think the list is wrong.

The list only has dates for catalogue releases, so 28 Days Later is the correct title.

Day-&-Date releases are pending. I would be very surprised if 28 Weeks Later is not among them whenever that announcement is made.

Nice list, 9 titles I'll surely buy. Also great to see Prison Break on that list.

The only title I'm really pissed about from Paramount is Transformers. I can't believe that they would just throw away hundreds of thousands of sales. It just boggles the mind.

Taken Fox's release as a whole along with the blue schedule it's looking like a full schedule of must haves for this year!

The list only has dates for catalogue releases, so 28 Days Later is the correct title.

Day-&-Date releases are pending. I would be very surprised if 28 Weeks Later is not among them whenever that announcement is made.

Prison Break says day and date. That would be in 2 weeks. That's not catalogue.

I really don't think the list is correct. Where did it come from?

Prison Break says day and date. That would be in 2 weeks. That's not catalogue.

I really don't think the list is correct. Where did it come from?

Prison Break is not on the list that is in the middle of the press release. It's simply mentioned in the blurb at the top where they basically say "Live Free Or Die Hard, Fantastic Four 2, Prison Break, and OTHER day-and-date releases" are coming.

Beatboy's list just takes the catalogue releases, and the SAMPLE day-and-date titles, and combines them. The official press release says other day-and-date titles are pending announcement.

all blu ray needs now is a Star wars HD release and the battle is over. Lord of the rings would be nice too. :)

Bah! Give Me X-men 1 & 2!

I get what you're saying. I saw 28 and PB and just knew it was wrong.
I am so amped for Robocop. I hope it's a good transfer.

It's odd that this list includes THE SIMPSONS MOVIE - the one I got sent doesn't include that. Did they send out two different press releases?

Fox had better do the following:

1) ACTUALLY RELEASE THESE DAMN TITLES!!! No more bait-and-switch BS!

2) Drop MPEG-2 compression and DTS HD-MA audio.

3) Lower the prices for catalog titles. $39.95 for day-and-date is fine since everyone not named Disney is guilty of the same practice.

4) Port over all the extras from the DVD counterpart.

Agreed. Otherwise, STFU.

Fox has just neutralized the Paramount annoucement with a stunning list of upcoming Exclusive Blu-ray releases, including the Die Hard Quadology:


BATTLE OF BRITAIN 11/06/07
A BRIDGE TOO FAR - 11/06/07

~Josh

These two caught my eye...For anyone who hasn't seen Battle of Britain recently, this should look astounding. The dogfights are amazing, not to mention the sheer amount of footage shot. Remember, no CGI :D

BTW, there was so much extra footage shot that a Czech film, Dark Blue World, used some of the deleted dogfight footage in 2001.

Bah! Give Me X-men 1 & 2!

Ditto!

Fox has just neutralized the Paramount annoucement with a stunning list of upcoming Exclusive Blu-ray releases

It's great to see Fox finally announcing titles again, but how, exactly, does this "neutralize" the fact that Paramount will no longer be releasing on Blu-ray?

Do you mean Fox is somehow going to get us Transformers or Face/Off on BD?

Fox had better do the following:

1) ACTUALLY RELEASE THESE DAMN TITLES!!! No more bait-and-switch BS!

2) Drop MPEG-2 compression and DTS HD-MA audio.

3) Lower the prices for catalog titles. $39.95 for day-and-date is fine since everyone not named Disney is guilty of the same practice.

4) Port over all the extras from the DVD counterpart.

Excellent points that summarize how I feel. The format needs Fox to be credible for a change, and they ought to be encoding their audio in TrueHD if they must go the way of lossless compression. And I don't care what anyone says, bare-bones releases for big blockbuster movies should be non-existent at this time.

I will be buying a lot of these announced Fox BDs if they deliver on all four of your points.

Has anyone kept track of how many releases Fox has had this year? Should be interesting to see if they can hit that 100 mark they were talking about early this year.

In any case, from the looks of it, this is something they've been planning for quite some time. I guess the Paramount news shocked them into realizing that if they really want their DRM, they're going to have to do more than just talk about Blu-ray. Silver linings in clouds, as it were.

Announcements mean nothing-especially from a studio which was supposed to have released many titles but backed out and has released nothing for months. PR spin. Show me the money. I will take Day after tomorrow, die hards, bridge too far, 28 days, and a couple others.

That hardly a neutralization of Paramount considering most of these titles were promised at CES last year.

It's good to see these titles FINALLY COME OUT, I'm very much looking forward to about 8 or 9 titles off that list especially "From Hell". It;'s good to see my pre order of Ronin will finally get delivered this year.

don't kid yourself though these are titles that were already SUPPOSED TO BE OUT!!!.

No 'Commando'?

I have to admit I was feeling pretty down about HDM's surviveability earlier today with the Paramount annoucement, but with Fox back in and some other big annoucements (I am hearing) from Disney, Fox, Sony and WB on the way in favor of Blu-ray, I think there is still a good chance HDM will survive.

Blu-ray success = HDM survival

~Josh

I wonder how many hackers are salivating at the thought of taking a shot of BD+

However, lots of titles in there I'll be picking up for sure!

"Blu-ray success = HDM survival"

Come on please,

Cheap Dual Format players = HDM Survival

They are both here to stay, once dual format players are the norm average joe won't care if he is buying a movie in a red case or a blue case.

did you really use the word neutralize to describe this?:eek:

Yeah, he did, and "Quadology" too.

maybe a few rentals, oh well.

~Josh

How can you be happy about this at all?
If it was not for Paramount doing what they did TODAY, Fox wouldn't have said a thing. They were forced out by the BDA TODAY. With all your contacts how could you have not known this was going to happen? I'm shocked how many insiders knew nothing of this but in the same breath will say 'big news is coming for Blu-Ray...BIG BIG News'. We'll see.

It's odd that this list includes THE SIMPSONS MOVIE - the one I got sent doesn't include that. Did they send out two different press releases?

I caught that too. I think the OP may have gotten a little too excited and tried to reinforce the announcement with an extra title. It stands to reason that The Simpsons is a Fox property, so it's HD alignment is a no-brainer. Adding it the the announcement is a bit immature though without anything to back it up.

why so many threads of this?

"I'm shocked how many insiders knew nothing of this"

Yeah this whole thing really takes the air out of all the message board insiders that couldn't know about a huge announcement like this, Also Fox's announcement here came after it went live around the world so more so called "INSIDERS" missed that one as well.

If the insiders can't get it right when it comes to huge bombs like today is there really a purpose to them other then servicing themselves?

One look at any of my collections, be it BD, DVD or HDDVD and Paramount easily makes up the least amount of films in it by any studio. Sure they have some hits, Gladiator & Transformers that will be missed by the BD exclusive guys, but I'd only trade Lionsgate for Paramount of studio's already backing Blu-ray. Paramount has the 2nd weakest (IMO) library of newer and catalog releases of any studio. Just based of of 4th quarter alone purchases
my FOX/MGM wish list for BD is 12, my Paramount/DW wish list for HDDVD is 4.

PS,
I seriously doubt those Older Catalog titles such as Top Gun & The Jack Ryan stuff is going to Shine in HD, without some SERIOUS cleaning up. Most of those are from the 80's and 80's stuff has been either "Okay" or "Bad" on most transfers regardless of format/codec...Hell even some 90's stuff sucks!

Man I wish Fox had some titles I cared about.

Bring on Firefly!

Die Hard 4 only if its not the nasty ADR filled version I had to sit thro at the cinema

Wow, thats a good looking list.... To bad for HD DUD

"I'm shocked how many insiders knew nothing of this"

Yes, but apparently there is a TON of great, good, awesome Blu-Ray news coming soon! They missed todays GIGANTIC news story and Fox coming out again but who cares. :)

Some nice titles in there. A couple I already have on DTheater ... and I'm looking forward to being able to retire them. BUT ... I really don't think I'd call them "stunning". "Lawrence Of Arabia" would be stunning.

And ... since today's announcement by Paramount was indeed stunning, I'd say this does not neutralize it. Rather, it looks like an attempt at repositioning the limelight.

Bottom line. Fox has no credibility at all. I hope these dates hold ... and I'll even go so far as to say I think they will (simply because today's Paramount news has them under a lot of pressure) ... but given past history, I'll wait 'til I can buy them before I start to get at all excited.

I wish I could play a press release on my Panny. Or a "new date". 'Cause so far, that's all we've gotten from FOX.

Edit: I know "Lawrence" isn't from FOX. Just trying to point out how stunning THIS IS NOT.

Do you mean Fox is somehow going to get us Transformers or Face/Off on BD?

Well, Face/Off is on BD already, with high bitrate AVC encode and a killer PCM track to boot.

I really doubt any Paramount offering will beat it.

The list is ok. Paramount has plenty of catalog titles that can go up against many of these though.

Well, Face/Off is on BD already, with high bitrate AVC encode and a killer PCM track to boot.

I really doubt any Paramount offering will beat it.

It is? Where?
To my knowledge, it was canceled effective today.

THE SIMPSONS MOVIE - Day/Date With DVD

Can you point me to the spot in Fox's press release where they announce this?

It is? Where?
To my knowledge, it was canceled effective today.

He's referring to the Disney release in Japan.

He's referring to the Disney release in Japan.

Can you import that though?? I thought BD had region coding??

is anyone surprised?

I think the BDA had Paramount locked up till now, but the HD-DVD camp Payed for the next years contract. So the BDA could have known about this for months. They then hold back some movies so they can swamp the Paramount defection news.

We will see even more movie release announcements, but the big question is do we see a hardware price drop? or a announcement of even cheaper blue-ray players?

Can you import that though?? I thought BD had region coding??

The disc is all-region (like most Disney catalog releases), so it will play on any Blu-Ray player. Whether people feel like coughing up $40 to import it is another matter.

While I agree that it is nice to see Fox announcing titles again and there are some GREAT titles in there, they are still short of what they had already announced and indefinitely delayed before. There were some big titles on slate for Fox and MGM that are now no where to be found. Also, Paramount's exclusive venture has some titles that more than match up to that list:

Blades of Glory
Top Gun
Hunt for Red October
Patriot Games
Sum of All Fears
Transformers
Shrek 3
Saturday Night Fever

And that is only what's been announced. Remember that Paramount actually has been the highest grossing studio this year so far, with two of its properties in the top 5 highest grossing of all time for that studio (Transformers and Shrek 3). Warner is 2nd this year for studio gross.

You also have Beowulf, The Bee Movie and Stardust for Paramount/Dreamworks coming this year.

To much paranoia with FOX and Disney.
I see some movies on the list that were supposed to have been released a year ago. Now suddenly they decide to release them. What a joke.

Craig

I'm sure these Fox titles will get delayed....they always do.

And this is coming from a dual format owner.

all blu ray needs now is a Star wars HD release and the battle is over.


PLEASE!!!!! We are talking FOX here!!!!!!!!!
Well this is your FOX!!!

Craig

if this was true wouldnt we at least some some, or even one pre-order available?

~Josh


It's not ironic that Chicken Little is Blu-Ray exclusive, or Exclusive as some like to say.

This changes the whole game, but doesn't remotely bode ill for HDM (yet) - the BDA could purchase some exclusivity like HD-DVD and we could see some fireworks of that variety. Or, some non-Fox studios who like me thought 24 hours ago that HD-DVD wasn't gonna make it past 2008 may grudgingly decide that it doesn't look like either are going away for a while, and hedge their profit bets on going neutral ala Warner. This could cause a ripple effect with other non-Fox studios to the point where we could end up with Paramount, Fox, and (possibly) Universal being the only format-exclusive studios. One has to think if that were to happen at least 2 of those three would go neutral. Either way, it's way to early in the came, ESPECIALLY when there are moves like this being made, to declare the sky to be falling.

"If Blu loses, HDM dies!" is the new format war fear mongering - it was preceded by "If Blu-Ray wins, DRM will control our lives!"

Can you import that though?? I thought BD had region coding??


Yes you can import it. No, it has no region code, and if it did, it would not matter as Japan is the same region as US.

There are numerous threads here about Face/Off Japan. Just use search and you'll find plenty of info ;)

Excellent news! I've been wanting Master and Commander since it was first announced. Very good stuff indeed. I'm down for at least these discs.

To much paranoia with FOX and Disney.
I see some movies on the list that were supposed to have been released a year ago. Now suddenly they decide to release them. What a joke.

Craig

I totally agree. To use a line from a Paramount Show, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!" As far as these titles being released, I'll believe it only when they are in stock and I can my hands on them. Till then, no pre-orders, no getting excited. A pox on Fox till they get their act together.

I'm in for a number of the Fox titles...I just hope they deliver. There's no room in the 4th quarter for delays and cancellations.

~JoshSome decent titles here for sure...But I think that Paramount and Dreamworks going exclusive HD DVD neutralized this announcment from FOX. ;)

It's both depressing and disturbing so many of you equate BluRay with the entire future of HD media. I've endured so much rah rah crap as a supporter and frequenter of this board but this is beyond the pale. The phrase delusions of grandeur come to mind. I applaud people on both sides of the format battle that have kept their dignity and self respect through todays announcement. From HD DVD fans gleeful about the disappointment of BR fans to this almost eerie tone of fatalism and denial from the BR side. We're all HD enthusiasts. You HD FANS coming in here to gloat, how do you feel when BR fans did that during the Blockbuster announcement? Sure say "they did it to us" but it was always a vocal trollish minority and now you are just emulating them. You are simply attacking yourself in effect.

Let's get the F back to talking about titles coming out and how much we are all going to enjoy the sh#t out of them. That's what this is all about. It's not a damned presidential race.

The disc is all-region (like most Disney catalog releases), so it will play on any Blu-Ray player. Whether people feel like coughing up $40 to import it is another matter.

at least it's the same price as most 20th's releases on BD.

Fox has just neutralized the Paramount annoucement with a stunning list of upcoming Exclusive Blu-ray releases, including the Die Hard Quadology:


"neutralized"?

yes, if you think adding 10 ounces on one side of a scale balances out 100 pounds on the other...

I had many of there titles picked out and ready for purchase when announced 7 months ago. They had there chance and now want to try to overcharge for 25g discs with no features again, not this time, I'd rather purchase all as an import now

Fox's announcement is great news for me! Die hard quad, I robot, DAT, Master & Com, are no-brainers for me as long as transfers are decent and there's lossless. As much I worship Michael Bay and love Transformers, I'd trade all of those titles for TF. I can still get The Rock, BadBoys 1& 2, and Armaggedon :)

Now I want Aliens.

INDEPENDENCE DAY - 12/04/07

i am interested in these

The HD dVD version of Mr. and Mrs Smith looks good. I wonder if I'll have to pick up the BD version also? I'll definitely be picking up ALL of those other titles.
Assuming they aren't delayed.

I am so glad that Fox is back in the game. With Fox finally releasing again it is going to be a VERY tough 4th Qtr for HD-DVD. I think we will see Blu-ray win the 4th Qtr 80:20.

Expect to see some very big title announcements during CEDIA from members of the BDA ;)

~Josh

Some decent titles here for sure...But I think that Paramount and Dreamworks going exclusive HD DVD neutralized this announcment from FOX. ;)

and vice-versa.

Great news for HD-DVD! Now combo disks will seem like a great bargain next to the FOX studio titles.

4th Qtr 80:20.



~Josh

Yep now with paramount/dreamworks/mtv/weinstein/universal and others being HD DVD exclusive and warner not releasing movies like matrix,batman begins and only on HD DVD, will really help hd dvd get to (hd dvd)80:20(bluray) split.

I had many of there titles picked out and ready for purchase when announced 7 months ago. They had there chance and now want to try to overcharge for 25g discs with no features again, not this time, I'd rather purchase all as an import now

Ya what was their last movie? night at the museum? and I remember talking big talk at ces 2007 about how many titles they would release on blu ray and this and that and then later people saying they are testing bd+, IMO I can predict a delay already.. We might see 2-4 movies this year if any from fox...

Believe it when I see them on the shelf. Then I'll buy a few.

isn't trolling against forum rules. hd dvd can have paramount. after tranformers and overrated shrek movies they have nothing, nada. tranformers won't be out til december anyway because of the july release so by then bda will have a couple 75% weeks of nielson share. the spiderman week will still be a 80:20 or worse slaughter as the cars, ratatouille and potc weeks. if universal' bourne identity couldn't get 40%, how can tranformers if a blu exclusive is released the same date. rememember, of all the neutral titles blu-ray outsold hd-dvd 3:1. paramount will see the "1" only on all the hd dvd exclusives.

"Expect to see some very big title announcements during CEDIA from members of the BDA "

Yawn, dude if you couldn't get the Paramount announcement and the Fox releases with your so called "insiders" why should we believe you ever again? Both are only the biggest stories to hit HD in a LOOONG time and some how the "INSIDERS" totally missed out on them.

LOL i guess NOBODY knew about that.. check the reaction in the press most people are shocked by the news and nobody saw that coming even if it was probably planned, secrets can still be takes..

LOL everybody knows that the HD DVD Group and BDA will announce stuff at CEDIA just like last year..

Paramount never had a top ten that stayed more than 2 weeks even with a new and catalog release. They'll sure have it with TF and Shrek but that's all for the year floks ... most HD DVD buyer won't buy the Star Trek kit because of it's price and the Combo thing. I mean if Paramount is thinking that Combo is the way to go.. lol they are sure wrong there (even if it's released alone, will probably fake the whole Neilsen videoscan stats for a week because of ST Fan will have to buy this set even if they don't own HD DVD)

Does the OP even have any credibility anymore?

"Does the OP even have any credibility anymore?"

At the very least I hope the Paramount announcement does away with the message board insider wannbe's and also gives Bill Hunt and other format Zar's a huge dose of humility and calms down his fanboyism so he can again serve the community properly instead of being a format cheer leader. Consumers need objective clear headed information not slanted shills getting checks from either side to sway un suspecting consumers.

Let's face it know matter how inside some people claim to be when it comes to real news and real deals going on inside the industry they aren't going to be giving us anything worthwhile as far as information goes. They find out the news the same time we do.

At this point the best they give us is a release list about 30 mins before it hits the studio's official websites.

A person can back whatever format they want, just as it is your right to back whomever you want. Bill Hunt has been a HD guru for years, I find it funny on how many people used him as reference for years and when he decided to take a side he was labeled a fanboy.. lol....... I also find if really ironic that so many so called "format neutral" people are taking the side of HD-DVD I guess we can say fair weather fans... Right now I am not sure one can stay format neutral... I guess it might be time to take the Blu-Pill.... ;)

where the hell is x-men 1 and 2? hopefully die hard 4 does come out in november because that and transformers are probably the only movies i can see myself buying this year.

""format neutral" people are taking the side of HD-DVD"

Who's taking sides? I just think it's time to end the so called message board insiders and paid shills from either side. It's been proven neither of these entities actually gives us anything other than slanted views on the formats and false information and they totally drop the ball on delivering actual REAL news.

It's time for more level headed fact oriented commentary, Both formats are here to stay the mud slinging and used car salesman tactics being employed in this format war are not going to help the average consumer make an educated decision.

""format neutral" people are taking the side of HD-DVD"

I support both formats - but there is a great deal more whining/immaturity on the BD side, currently.

The HD DVD side took blow after blow over the last several months and the BD side really dished it out. Now that the table has turned....they can't accept it.

Deal with it and get over it already.

LOL Fox has actually released more movies for HD DVD for the last little while, MR. And Mrs. Smith
This is to funny. People with HD DVD can watch it now but if you have BD wait til Xmas (maybe).

But I would love to get Master and Commander , I hope their announcements are true.

Nbay I was thinking about ordering the Mr & Mrs Smith as an import for HD DVD and would like to ask what extras are on the disc?

I am so pissed at Fox with all kinds of popus BS promises of 3 dozen titles still missing that were due out before June, $40 movies that are all on BD25 discs with no extras and including a sound track that no players can fully decode and play...

I see at least 10 on that list that will be mine! :D

Man i can´t believe why FOX didn´t release anything earlier on, they must have been under great pressure the last 24 hours from Sony!!

How many titles did Fox promise to release in 2007 at CES?

I support both formats - but there is a great deal more whining/immaturity on the BD side, currently.

It's comments like these that simply blow my mind!!

I'm going to miss Paramount/DreamWorks on Blu-ray this year, but all that means is that I will have more money to spend on other studios' releases... and I look forward to getting their titles again next year.

However, anybody, even HD DVD supporters should understand that Paramount/DreamWorks choosing to be format exclusive to a format that sells less product for them is surprising to say the least. All HDM fans should be outraged by the fact that this draws the war on LONGER!

Also, why is is that if there is more whining and immaturity on the BD side currently, all I see are people putting down Blu-ray on Blu-ray message boards the last two days... much worse than a day or two ago?

~Alan

Welcome back Fox, and just in time for the Holidays.:)

"It's comments like these that simply blow my mind!!"

Sorry but it is true there are far more BLU-RAY only fans now having a freakin hissy fit stomping around like children shaking their rattles in the air then ever before. It a mass hysteria of bitterness and immaturity, and in the case of Bill Hunt his rants are bordering on becoming a legal issue for him, since he is making unfounded claims about MS paying off movie companies for the HD-DVD group.

And all of this is happening because HD-DVD did NOT curl up and die like all the BLU-RAY only fans wanted. It's as simple as that they didn't die so it is now a hysteria of bitter anger.

It's completely sad, it takes very little right now for real movie fans to have both formats. Right now it is cheaper to have both formats than it was the first year DVD came out.

What we are seeing is a bunch of FORMAT fans freaking out not movie lovers.
It's a piece of plastic that come in two different colored cases, they both effectively give you the exact same experience.

It's time for real movie lovers to stop picking sides and realize both formats are here to stay. Drop your pitch forks and relax a little.

How many titles did Fox promise to release in 2007 at CES?

70-100? how many got released? like 15? how many times have the new announcements been delayed? I would guess 2-4 times already.

Alan,

It is sad but true. You didn't see legions of HD DVD only fans acting like this when Blockbuster went BB, etc.

Look at the number of threads that basically boil down to "the earth is going to explode" "I'm going to go back do SD DVD" "Boycott Paramount" etc. It is ridiculous.

Well that's certainly better than your contribution to the Blu-Ray board.

"Well that's certainly better than your contribution to the Blu-Ray board."

Well maybe if I prance around here and pretend to be Mr. inside scoop reporter, giving out false info and leading people on, conducting strategically false damage control tactics, and of course back peddling and disappearing when my information is proven wrong I can make a much more valuable contribution?

Maybe we should just do a poll on how many of the people here just want the war to end so we can enjoy HD movies in some sort of disc instead of having to wait for hours download lower quality video over the Internet, which might have DRM up to our nose? I know that is what I want, but it seems some companies want the confusion to drag on so they can force us to only watch HD content from download.

The other question that I really want to ask is this - why is prolonging the format war a good thing? The general public just want something they can put into their player without having to worry about which format it is in, and if this war keep on dragging, by the time the cheap dual format player comes out, another new "format" (right now most of us are guessing video downloads) will come out and the confusion would just either get started or the old "medias" would just go the way of DVD-Audio/SACD. Why cannot they just get together and make it so it would be more like DVD-R/DVD+R...

Fox is pathetic. They announced MOST of these titles in January at CES. Then they cancel/postpone them. Now with the Paramount news they wake up and "oh yeah, we are releasing these titles" which we promised earlier this year. Fox has really treated the Hi Def supporters like crap and now we are supposed to jump and say "thank you!". Gimmie a break! I'll buy I ROBOT and that is it from this list.

Fox is pathetic. They announced MOST of these titles in January at CES. Then they cancel/postpone them.

wow, you're like the 8.902.324.423.000 person who said that today :rolleyes:

now relax and enjoy those upcoming movies, stop whining over something that's been and gone. They're actually releasing again in case you missed that?

Where is the Alien Quadrilogy?

I wonder if fox is sticking with DTS-MA as the only uncompressed audio on these discs?

I'd buy very few of them, because I already own most of the ones I want on D-Theater tape. But it's a good start, hopefully nothing gets delayed. Let's see if the new RoboCop is better than the press version.

I have to admit I was a little annoyed by the paramount news, okay it will have little effect, but it's still a slap in the face for HD DVD owners and BD owners alike. Sadly the HD DVD cheerleaders are prepaired to overlook anything for some short term excitement.

These titles are fantastic and personally speaking I'm going to buy more Fox titles than the paramount titles released or to be released.

Where's Borat?

I have to admit I was a little annoyed by the paramount news, okay it will have little effect, but it's still a slap in the face for HD DVD owners and BD owners alike.

Ignoring the "will have little effect" comment (I think this will have a huge effect)... how, exactly, is this a slap in the face for HD DVD owners?

I think it'll have an effect, what that will be is still up for debate. HD DVD had to make a play to keep their teeth from getting kicked in, and in all honesty, I am glad to see them make a play.

Taking all of the fanboyism out of it... It will have a positive effect for HD DVD in the short term, will allow HD DVD to stay competitive in software releases over the Christmas season, but long term is still up for question.

Now, if they get Warner, I'd agree right now that having both Paramount and Warner on your side exclusively would be HUGE.

I don't understand why people are so pumped about the Fox title announcement. After all, FOX has released more BD title list than actual BDs. How about we wait until FOX actually release something other than list?

All i know is that the 2nd and 9th of october will be blu-ray domination. go to dvdempire and look at those weeks. impressive, most impressive, as lord vader would say. alot of fox/mgm titles those 2 weeks leading up to the big 80 percent or more week of spider-man.

28 Weeks Later - 10/9
The Hills Have Eyes 2 (unrated) - 10/23
Home of The Brave - 10/23
Mr. Brooks - 10/23

I am also hearing we may get Fight Club and Young Frankenstein in December.

Now Fight Club would be nice. :-)

Where is Day Watch?

Fight Club -- yes!!!!!

Tommy Boy is a Paramount Pictures property - thus HD-DVD only.

Fox, give us The Abyss. GIVE US THE ABYSS!!!

Robocop on BD will be the first time I've seen that movie. I'm 33, I just somehow missed it when I should have seen it 500 times in my life up until now.

Fight Club -- yes!!!!!

Tommy Boy is a Paramount Pictures property - thus HD-DVD only.

Fox, give us The Abyss. GIVE US THE ABYSS!!!

My Mistake. I meant Young Frankenstein. On a side note, it appears that Tommy Boy may be out in December on HD-DVD when looking at this email I just received.

~Josh

Thanks Josh for the update.

After watching Fight Club on SD...can't wait for the HD version of this title. Lots of good movies coming from both formats in the next couple of months....4Q is going to be expensive.

best news ever

OMG!!!! FIGHT CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLASE FOX, bring fight club.

Do not talk about the Fight Club Blu-ray disc.

Seriously, that would be awesome. And I second (or third, or fourth) The Abyss.

True Lies and Predator would be amazing too.

28 Weeks Later - 10/9
The Hills Have Eyes 2 (unrated) - 10/23


Awesome to hear to hear these 2 are coming out! Any word on a Turista's release date?

In addition to the announced list, let me get Fight Club, the Abyss, Young Frankenstein, Predator, Commando and History of the World Pt. 1 and I can relax for a while. :D

I am looking forward to Dances With Wolves, Hannibal and Silence of the Lambs.

I will pickup many of those titles. But I wonder how many will get delayed.

agreed

Robocop on BD will be the first time I've seen that movie. I'm 33, I just somehow missed it when I should have seen it 500 times in my life up until now.

You're damn right you should have seen it 500 times by now :D This is one of the best movies ever made IMO.

Where is The Hills have Eyes 1? 2 sucked...1...badass!

hills have eyes 1 is being prepped to be released as the "academy awards edition" ala american beauty......................................just kidding.

28 Weeks Later - 10/9



Great!!!

Where is The Hills have Eyes 1? 2 sucked...1...badass!

ya 1 is good, 2 is terrible..... worst movie I have watched all year imo

ya 1 is good, 2 is terrible..... worst movie I have watched all year imo

ditto

Bring on Number 1. Skip the second one.

According to highdefdigest, MGM's Mr. Brooks is DTS-HD MA like the past releases and carries a steep MSRP of $39. Looks like some things haven't changed.

Looks like I'm going to continue to be very selective about which Fox/MGM BDs I buy. Their pricing is simply out of line compared to other studios.

Ignoring the "will have little effect" comment (I think this will have a huge effect)... how, exactly, is this a slap in the face for HD DVD owners?

I'm missing where you're going here.

He also said BD. So as I understand it he meant us as Consumers !

Hopefully the paramount switch means no region codes on Fox titels..:)

Love those Fox release choices .... right after PM/DW

"Day After Tomorrow"
"Die Hard"
"Red Dawn"
"Cast Away"

too ironic

Why are you here?

He also said BD. So as I understand it he meant us as Consumers !

I'm still not getting it (and I'd love if he could clarify). He said that Paramount's decision was a slap in the face to HD DVD owners and BD owners.

I get the BD owners part. But the HD DVD owners is a head-scratcher.

Hopefully Fox is actually going to come through with some releases. I'm not holding my breath though.

Why are you here?

To discuss Fox movies releases.

I am already done with Paramount and "Transformers" ....

I see an original announcement back in the day (Man on Fire) is subsequently abscent.

Could have fooled me. I just see reposts of sarcastic comments originally posted in the HD DVD forum.
