This is one of my fav movies and I was curious if anyone had heard if and when it might come to HD-DVD?

I suspect it will come out some day. But I don't know when.

Does anyone know when the following will come out on HD DVD or BD:

Shakespeare In Love
Nuns on the Run
the entire James Bond series
Mr. Holland's Opus (the SD DVD is a disaster--non anamorphic)
The American President (the SD DVD is a disaster--non anamorphic)
All previous released SD non anamorphics such as The Abyss
the original Debbie Does Dallas
Behind the Green Door


100 other movies I'd like to see. I'll put together a complete list tomorrow and post it.

Thanks.

Last year two online sites had a "coming soon to HD-DVD", page promising Collateral. I don't recall which sites had the "coming soon" "on them but I really enjoyed this Michael Mann film and would like to see it in HD as well. Since this is a Paramount Pictures release we may soon see it in 2008 as part of the promised 30+ movies from their studio vault. Amazon.com still has a "place holder" up which I have provided a link to below.

That movie has grain everywhere. And it was filmed with HD video.

Collateral would be awesome, but it's another Michael Mann film with grainy low-light night scenes, so once again people will be crying out "excessive grain".

I personally loved the look of the film.

I friggin' hope it comes... Yeah people will complain about the grain... But Michael Mann makes those cities look sexy at night. In addition to it being a great movie... I rather enjoyed his helicopter views of the city lights.. like the scene in Miami Vice.. oooohhh it gave me chills it looked so clean!!

I agree with Frank's point and I enjoy his use of humor to make his point.

Use the search engine to see if a title has been asked about before. If it has and it's old...then bump it and ask for an update. It doesn't serve anyone by having multiple "wish" threads on the same title (see LOTR or SW).

Here's one of a couple that came up in the search engine
