Yes, I think those release dates are correct.

 

[jk1988]

Are you looking forward to any of them two come out Andrew.

 

[Oldboy]

Great news!! Been waiting for Saving Private Ryan on bluray for some time, any ideas what sound format we should expect on the disc? I've got my fingers crossed for 7.1 DTS HD Master but somehow i doubt that will happen.

War of the Worlds i'm not so fussed about but as a test disc it should be great, just a shame ickle Mr Cruise is in it LOL.

But more interested in the Pacific-set Band of Brothers sequel, and if I were buying a version of The War of the Worlds it would be this one

I too am looking forward to the new Pacific series really enjoyed band of brothers.

Many thanks for the info! So we get new extras for the bluray release then, thats good news. Should be a corcker of a bluray i just hope no corners are cut and that we get a good quality transfer.

Don't know much about the new Band of Brothers but i'm really looking forward to it as the first series is an essential purchase and an incredible piece of television, americans can be useful sometimes LOL.

 

[Frank Harvey]

I'm looking forward to War Of The Worlds. Except the rubbish ending.

Where's Alien and Aliens, that's what I want to know...

 

[Clare Newsome]

Fox is being uncommonly slow with a wide range of releases; Alien on BD has been scheduled/rescheduled several times. Last I heard was 'Spring', along with a range of other titles i'm v.interested in, including Moulin Rouge.

Here's hoping the delay is due to loads of lovely restoration work....

[Andrew Everard]

...And not some fumbling about trying to work out whether they can fake the titles up into 3D for a later release...

Now there's an idea:

In fact, I suspect much of the 3D content is going to look like that.

+1

One of the reasons I got Sky HD

 

[aliEnRIK]

The only thing I dont like about 'Saving Private Ryan', are the intentional glitches in the movies (Streaks of fire etc)

Id have rather he HADNT been so authentic

Andrew - I'm sure well have the BD "Ultimate Edition". Followed by the "Director's Cut". Followed by the "3d Ultimate Edition. Followed by the "3d Director's Cut". Followed by brain-streaming Total Recall-stylee memory implant. Etc.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! It's here! Arghhh!

At last.

Breath slow Paul. Breath slow!

 

[Anonymous]

Not yet.

I got vouchers that I am saving for HMV just to buy a copy.

April I think

 

[Anonymous]

Ok. I'm breathing good now.

I hope the transfer will be as good as I think it will be. Does anyone know the specs?

 

[Anonymous]

Its spielberg, I am sure it will be amazing.

And lets hope 7.1 for the people that have it.

 

[Clare Newsome]

Already being discussed here, too....

 

[Andrew Everard]

I think a merge is in order: anyone got any objections?
