What's the deal? I heard Legend is slated for a release in HD, but the rumor has been laying low for a few months now. Shouldn't we be hearing about possible release date? Universal should bank on this title, because it's all money for them. I'm sorry, but this is one film I'm dying to see in HD, because it's just a beautiful film, and my standard dvd already looks stunning. Ridley Scott's crowning achievement.

Re: When is Legend coming out in HD???

I don't recall ever seeing it on any release schedule (rumored or otherwise) but I wouldn't hold my breath for it especially after seeing how many times it was rumored to be hitting SD DVD and then not seeing a release date. This film always seems to get the run-around.

DVD & Blu-ray - It's all about the movies!

I heard 9/18, along with Cat People. Obviously that didn't happen (and Cat People got indefinitely delayed).

I was told Universal was set to release the THEATRICAL cut -- yes, the short U.S. version -- and not Ridley Scott's original version which was painstakingly restored for the Special Edition 2-disc set.

Apparently this did not sit well with Scott and the set was delayed.

Hopefully they'll give us both versions, or at least Scott's original restored version, when the HD-DVD does eventually come out.

Given the alternative -- that we were only going to get the cut U.S. version -- I'd say the delay was a very good thing.

Maybe they will do a Ridley Scott lovefest and release Legend with Blade Runner around x-mas...

Gues we won't be seeing Alien out on HD DVD anytime soon... too bad. Guess I will just have to settle for the Quadrology box set until the war is over. Thankfully it looks awesome upconverted on the HD A1.

Unfortunately, it's probably a title whereby, you could substitute at least a couple of hundred other titles, and ask the same question.
