The Official BD Wishlist and "When or will this movie come out on BD? Thread - Page 80

Without a doubt, Kingpin. So many crappy comedies get the BR treatment, and this cult classis is left with pushed back date after pushed back date...

- All the remaining Spielberg titles, particularly Munich (2005) and The Sugarland Express (1974)
- Quick Change (1990)
- True Lies (1994)
- The Abyss (1989)
- The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
- Red Beard (1965)

Bunch of posts moved here from dupe thread.

Oh hell yeah, forgot about that one! Good call. NEED IT!

Really it's a pretty sweet time for Blu Ray. We have all the major franchises, along with Lone Wolf and Cub, I can only think of a few titles I actively want for.

True Lies and The Abyss(along with everyone else)
Red Eye
People Under the Stairs
8MM
Ravenous
Ghostbusters 2

Pi. It's out in Europe. It was shown in High Def on Showtime last month. Enough already.

Interesting interview. Of note is how LionsGate told Aronofsky No Thanks on the 5.1 remix he wanted (if NOAH is a hit, they might finally relent) and more importantly, that he had no idea if his first two films were even on Blu-Ray. Most directors look at a transfer, approve it, then move on. They have no clue about the actual DVD and Blu-Ray releases because they are onto the next project.


Q: Your other two films, when are they going to be on Blu-ray?

Darren Aronofsky: They’re not?

Q: I thought I looked last night…

Darren Aronofsky: You might be right. I have no idea. I went to Lionsgate. It’s the tenth anniversary of Pi this year. I was like, “Let’s do a 5.1 mix and update it.” It would be great. Update it, but I couldn’t get them to do it. That film comes back to me in 10 years. I get it.

Q: Oh really?

Darren Aronofsky: Yes. I get full control of that film in 10 years. I’ll be able to do something with it. Hopefully, Requiem there’s some technical issues with the DVD. There’s some technical ****-ups that need to be repaired as well. At some point we’ll get back into that. It would be great for Pi to do a digital remastering of it at some point. I would love to do that.

Witness - an overlooked Harrison Ford film.

I agree about Kingpin too- great comedy.

- Vertigo. They released North by Northwest. Why not this Alfred Hitchcock classic?[/quote]

I'd like that, too.

I'd prefer the theatrical cut; I think the director's cut slows down the comedy way too much.

One I'd like to see is John Wayne's War Wagon.

I'd love to see Happiness (Todd Solondz), especially since the dvd was never done properly in the first place and is now looking very dim indeed. Excellent film that rewards multiple viewings.

O Lucky Man
Forbidden Zone
Hired Hand

Disney's
Peter Pan
Fantasia
Aladdin

Streets of Fire..it's already on hd dvd, how hard would it be to get a blu version out??

Gummo

Any Blu-ray release dates for the Rodgers & Hammersteins Classics?
Carousal, Oklahoma and The King & I.
Sorry, I've asked this in another thread and lost it somehow.
Terrible thing Ol' age!

I'd still love to see "The Right Stuff" on Blu Ray. I just wish it was filmed in scope.

It's coming Q4 2013 - 30th anniversary:

Sweet!

Earthquake (1974)

Anyone remember the release day hinted at here ealier this year for the individual Jurassic Park Blu Ray? Googled for it several times. Nothing. Thanks

http://www.play.com/Search.html?searchstring=jurassic+park&searchsource=0&searchtype=BLU

Or in the USA?

Thanks for the links, yeah, guess I shoul've specified I'm in the US, definitely not out here yet in B&M stores...the amazon version/link looks like they're importanting the Italy, UK, etc versions. I just seem to remember a short thread at AVS mentioing the individual release dates here and can't remember if it was for 2012 or next year. Oh well, no biggie, it'll show eventually.

Jurassic Park is being re-released in theaters on April 5th 2013 as a 2D to 3D conversion so I suspect that the 3D BD and BD will be released sometime in August 2013.

Howard the Duck

Wow, still no word on Spirited Away? Even as an import with the english dub option?

exit wounds,saint,blue chips

Again.... Open Range. The transfer on StarzHD looked fine to me and much better than the piss drenched French BD.

C'mon Disney. Get with it!
