they should have released it on both long time ago... they are long overdue, but the announcement at least give us the time of the release

Damn. I recently bought the DVD, too (really ****** video). :(

Old news. Hope it's the 188 min extended version.

what extended version. Don't remember anything being released domestically

The studio has now revealed even more of its next-gen plans to the folks over at The Digital Bits, highlighted by an initiative to release all future high-profile catalog special edition titles on both DVD and Blu-ray simultaneously.

I wonder how much it bothers Peter M. Bracke that Digital Bits gets the exclusive from Warner. Must chap his hide. :D

I want Heat period. Must has lossless audio too.

Why, do they have a history?

Oh Yeah Baby... can't wait for a much improved audio track in that shootout... it's giving me goosebumps already.

This is what is going to get more people to adopt the format... movies... keep them coming Warner... give me Band of Brothers next!!!

They need to redo Thief. PRONTO. This DVD copy blows.

Old news. Hope it's the 188 min extended version.

Indeed.

Can't wait.

Old news. Hope it's the 188 min extended version.

my first time hearing it, very happy:D

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113277/

Runtime: 171 min / USA:188 min (original pre-aired NBC version)

Lossless audio a must for this title considering the sonic range of the climax shoot-out scenes.

A quick something to keep me tided over till release... since it's probably my favorite film. Anyways, its kind of a hack job due to lack of HQ artwork/images and my laziness in editing.. hopefully I can find some better images for the actual release.

No doubt. The best version I seen was on HDnet Movies a couple of years ago. I would love to hear Tangerine Dream in lossless audio:)

Definitely a must buy... the shootout is going to be so friggin intense.

This has gotta be one of the best movies of all time imo. I have probably owned this in every format possible, VHS, Laserdisc whihc was DD, Both DVD versions, and now Blu-Ray!!

Man I cant wait for this, I hope its realeased in the spring and not the fall but there have been no specifics yet on a release date just 2008.

Best line, Pacino says to Ashley Judd, " Clean up go home"

def one of my favorite movies as well, starring two of my favorite actors. however, that's deniro's line not pacino after he finds out ashley judd is cheating on val kilmer and tells her to give him another chance

My understanding is Heat is getting remastered for this release.

A 10+ year catalog title being released on Blu-Ray? Stop the presses!!!

It will take a Star Wars like scoop to get me to ever visit the Digital Hack, err I mean, Bits again.

I visit Bracke's site all day long.

Your right man, I love it someone is more obsessed about this movie than me, here is another Deniro line, "there is a dead man on the other end of this fcking line"

My understanding is Heat is getting remastered for this release.

I certainly hope so. That special edition DVD was quite lackluster in the PQ department.

DeNiro

Will they include the footage from the real deal that went down in SoCal a few years back;)

This will be a must buy... great movie!

Yes, big disappointment.

I want Heat period. Must has lossless audio too.

Must also have a new Master in HD to Make the PQ outstanding.

What gun did Al Pacino use in the movie Heat?

Hmm might just be my first BR disc if done right...

Not that one... someone did a little photoshopn'

Same here bro.

I am looking forward to this disc and it BETTER have lossless audio. Here's hoping Warner pulls out all the stops for this release.:D

Nice Photoshop. His real gun was a Fabrique Nationale FNC 80

Where did Al get that M4? Kinda looks like mine :)

I think some people will complain on the PQ for this movie. But the audio is the real star of this movie.

I have never seen this movie, but then again I was 10yrs young when it came out, judging by the posts in this thread it may be one to pick up.

You have never seen the movie heat? what the hell is wrong with you. Have you been living underground for the last 13 years or something?

i highly recommend it, the sound is great obviously but what i really love is the dynamic between pacino and deniro. among the many great scenes in any moving the diner scenes rates up there as one of my favorite all time. i just really liked the characters so much i wanted it to end differently not to give anything away for those who haven't seen it. however, even with that said it is still a great movie and the ending is still great.

I still think it might have been better with the roles reversed (Pacino as the bad guy and Deniro as the cop) but it still worked out great and one of the best gunfight scenes ever. I dream of a 7.1 PCM track for that shootout in front of the bank.

lol, you must be an arfcommer. :p

I was 6 when it came out, and I regret not seeing it until a few years ago

I remember seeing it in the theater. I thought I was going to die during that shoot-out, as it was so unexpected and so well done. Can blu-ray make a bookmark so I can jump right to it?

I want Heat period. Must has lossless audio too.

Absolutely! This is one movie that I hope Warner doesn't mess up in the audio department.

I hope they fix that ugly echo sound that exists on both dvd releases. I own the laserdisc version, you can almost feel the bullets.

I own the laserdisc version, you can almost feel the bullets.

The audio on the laserdisc is outstanding, and I don't mean the gunshots, which can be adequately reproduced using just DD. It is the quality of the snipets of music that makes it so special, and which sounds so hollow on the DVD.

The hope of this movie is why I bought an HD DVD Player and Blu Ray player last year. I didn't want to miss it!

Wow!!! I'm actually shocked by the amount of fans waiting for this movie to come out on Blu-ray fully remastered with lossless audio. I thought I was the only one!!

Next to the street shootout, I think the diner scene between Pacino and De Niro is the best 5 mins of film ever!!!!!! It's unfortunate that it was only around 5 mins.

However, in their new movie coming out this year, Righteous Kill, they practically share the screen for the duration of the movie! Hopefully Jon Avnet doesn't butcher it as I'm highly anticipating this movie based off of that one scene in Heat...

Absolutely! This is one movie that I hope Warner doesn't mess up in the audio department.

I'm pretty sure going forward Warner will provide lossless on all discs; especially now that they are encoding for one format.

I agree, excellent scene. Good editing, Deniro and Pacino never shares the same frame in the entire movie. It is always the back of a head, or a reflection in a car window.

Hell yes!

I want this move so bad it's not even funny. In my top 5 all time favorites. This is huge, especially if Warner delivers on the transfer.

Too bad we couldnt get the "no overacting by Al Pacino" edition, then I would be all over it.

i mean you know you're going to get a little of that, but i can't do without it bc it would ruin 2 of my favorite scenes

"Cause she's got a great ass... and you got your head all the way up it! Ferocious, aren't I? When I think of asses, a woman's ass, something comes out of me."

and of course

"You can lounge around here on her sofa, in her ex-husband's dead-tech, post-modernistic bs house if you want to. But you do not get to watch my f***** television set!"

Car-15 baby

Or as some of us ARFcommer's like to call it, M4'gery:)

But thats not what he uses in the movie. The picture is photoshoped.

The real gun would be an FNC.

Nice Photoshop. His real gun was a Fabrique Nationale FNC 80

as mentioned before

I am also eagerly awaiting the arrival of Heat to BD. I just watched Gone Baby Gone, it's sound track is lossless 5.1 and the gun fire in it had me wanting to hide behind something solid. Part of that is the surprise of it but.......If Heat is as good, it will be over whelming!!!! :) :) :) :) Can't wait.

I'm curious if the audio stems in this film are outdated. 1995, correct? Fidelity could be limited?

Just last night I listened to the laserdisc version (PCM - yes we had lossless way back then!), and it definitely did not sound dated.

Looks to me like a MA41 automatic assault rifle. If I'm correct, thank my years wasted playing Counterstrike on the PC ;).

EDIT: I should've read ahead... didn't notice the PS job.

Car-15 baby

Looks like a M4A1 with a tactical stock. Car15s don't have removable carry handle with rails below it.

Hmmm.... any updates?? I'm getting anxious and upset that this wasn't given a date to look forward to :(

The only update I have is the Premier Edition DVD being played in the HMV stores out here and god only knows why it's priced at $30.
No new updates I guess.:(

I want to get a Blu Ray -- if this movie is coming out in Blu Ray i get a player morra!!!

........any new news?

thanks

Easily Michael Mann's best. a real classic. Some corniness here and there: Pacino: "Well I'm Donald Duck!" as he slams the desk, and Ashley Judd is kind of lackluster in one of her earliest roles. Otherwise a great flick.

no new/old news??????damn.

according to IMDB, there's a game coming out next year.

Tie-in?

1. I NEED this movie on Blu w/ teh lossless audio.

2. Seeing an Arfcom tie-in to AVS w/ the "What gun did Al Pacino use in Heat?" and the photoshopped M4 instead of his FN FNC (model 87) was priceless.

THE BEST MOVIE EVAR.
PERIOD.
THE END.
I can watch it over & over.

Yeah, I'm going to have to grab this one (only having the original SD DVD release as of now). And I suppose I'm going to have to finish setting up my ghetto 5.1 rig now, too...

They wanted Al Pacino play as he was high on cocaine all the time , as it was the reason why he had the "energy" to keep going.

Also explains the TV incident. ;)

I also heard that tom Sizemore and Val kilmer couldn't stand each other.

I jumped on this thread expecting a release date, unless I missed it. Does anyone know.

I don't think WB ever said. I probably wouldn't even worry about it until Q2 '09 earliest...

Reminds me of the Ronin BD....is it even out yet? I remember a local BB even had it listed on their shelves some 6 months ago, on it's erlier expected release date.

Still haven't seen Ronin BD in the US, but then again I don't keep up with such things anymore...

The latest rumor is that Ronin will show up in February.

Heat has one of the greatest shoot-outs ever done.
Here is to making sure they give us GREAT GREAT sound....

Considering how good it sounded on DVD, I have no doubt it will sound good on BD.

I just had my hopes high for a minute..... again....:(

Guess, I have to wait a bit longer - for this one and for Ronin :(.

Please quit bringing this to the top...


All this Extreme Jubilation ---> Extreme Sorrow swings are not good for my health.

Is there at least an import of this?

Let's just wait till the date is announced. Continue in the Wishlist thread if need be. Every time I see this thread pop up I get excited... for no reason again.
