Universal Catalog Titles on Blu

[PfR73]

the question remains-will 1941 include the original theatrical cut, or just Spielberg's longer version?

As I said above, according to this press release...1941 will contain both cuts.

Universal Monsters Coffin Edition is coming back in print in the UK

I just wish they would upgrade all the sequels to HD instead of just releasing the same discs of the same titles as before...

Holiday Inn (1942) - 10/7

Jean-Claude Van Damme 5-Movie Blu-ray set with three new to Blu-ray titles on October 14th

[flyonthewall2983]

Was honestly expecting Timecop to be in that, but I guess Warner Bros. has it in a double-feature with Bloodsport. I really liked that one, as it had some cool FX for it's time and an interesting enough story (I'm a sucker for time-travel stories).

[flyonthewall2983]

Charlie Wilson's War, The Constant Gardener and The Good Shepherd will come out January 6th.

Those have all been out for a while in the UK from Universal on region-free Blu-rays, these will just be the exact same discs, so might as well import 'em for cheap (they're actually part of the 3 for 17 pounds promo at Amazon .co.uk right now)

I think the UK version is bare bones, whereas (according to blu-ray.com) the US version will retain the special features from the DVD.

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993) - 2/3/15

Kull the Conqueror (1997) - 2/3/15

[cdnchris]

I have a list of films in my head that I figure will never see the light of day on Blu-ray and that was one of them, right under Rage of Honor and above Knockoff.

[Gregory]

This Amazon review gives the likeliest explanation for why they've chosen to release this on Blu-ray

[med]

They'll have DNR'ed his abs into a smooth flatness, alas.

[captveg]

Kull seems like an obvious result of a catalog re-issue/generation cycle, which is approximately every 7-8 years.

[Gregory]

The time between releases varies a lot from film to film. Kull was released on DVD, VHS, and laser 16 years ago when it was a new release. And there are surely many Universal properties that they'll never get around to releasing on Blu-ray, just like there are some they never even released on DVD. One of our former members even compiled a list of them some years back.

3/3/15

Curious George (2006)
Jesus Christ Superstar (2000)
Mobsters (1991)

[domino harvey]

Mobsters? Seriously? What's next month's announcement, Kuffs?!

[FrauBlucher]

Look on the bright side, they'll all be shitty transfers.

[AfterTheRain]

Mobsters? Seriously? What's next month's announcement, Kuffs?!

Yeah, that's an 'out of left field' announcement there; didn't expect that to get a Blu-ray upgrade.

[Ashirg]

It was on HD DVD and never upgraded to blu. Other films released on HD DVD by Universal and not on blu in region A -
Accepted (2006), American Me (1992), Balls of Fury (2007), Breach (2006), Carlito's Way: Rise to Power (2005), Dead Silence (2007) (released in UK), Evening (2007), For Love of the Game (1999), The Getaway (1994), Half Baked (1998), Hollywoodland (2006) (released in UK), In Good Company (2004) (released in Germany), The Interpreter (2005) (released in UK), Midnight Run (1988), Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007) (released in UK), Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps (2000), Patch Adams (1998), The Pianist (2002) (released in UK), The River (1984), Sneakers (1992) (released in UK), Streets of Fire (1984) (released in UK), Talk to Me (2007) (released in UK), The War (1994), The Wedding Date (2005)

So expect any of them released on blu at anytime..

[captveg]

Also, while they have Region A releases, Universal has yet to release US BDs of The Hitcher (2007), Slither (2006), and White Noise 2

[aox]

I would welcome The Pianist.

[hearthesilence]

Never wished for any of those, which may help explain why I never got into HD-DVD.

[domino harvey]

Hollywoodland is a piece of shit, so I'm sure that's next

[scubadonc]

I really want Streets of Fire to hit Blu-ray. I'd get it from England, but I intend to lend it to several non-all region people.
