If there ever was a title that would benefit more from HD this would be the one. Has there been any word, or rumor of it coming anytime soon?

Re: Any word on Moulin Rouge
I agree, Ron!
Actually, exactly a year ago I talked with Fox about
Moulin Rouge coming to Blu-Ray.
I was told that it was not on their immediate slate due
to the fact that it would require Baz Luhrmann's
involvement.
I should be talking with someone at the studio within
the next 30 days and I'll see if I can get an update.

Re: Any word on Moulin Rouge
Thanks for the update Ron, that's a shame it's not on their current list. Hopefully we might see it next year, but please do keep us posted.
I just watched the SD last night and all I could think of was how amazing this would look and sound on Blu.

Re: Any word on Moulin Rouge
Baz has Australia being worked on now. Any chance that they try and get MR out on HD when they bring that out (late 2008 maybe...I'm not sure of the schedule). I know Ron likes MR more than me (probably more than anybody!), but I do love me some Moulin Rouge. HD will really help the film at home
Hey buddy...did you just see a real bright light?

Re: Any word on Moulin Rouge
I talked to Fox earlier this week.
Moulin Rouge is not currently in development for Blu-ray.
As I posted earlier, Baz Luhrmann needs to be directly involved
with the title, and currently he is working on a huge movie project.
I'm afraid we will have to continue waiting for this title to surface.

Re: Any word on Moulin Rouge
Well, we're waiting for tons of titles from Fox. Tons of great films. Reminds me of the salad days of 1998 and 1999 on DVD
But MR will be an absolute knockout on BRD - the sound, the image! Among Fox titles, I only want Aliens more than this on high def.

Re: Any word on Moulin Rouge
So Baz has pretty much wrapped up Australia, what are the chances that he'll be headed back to Moulin Rouge? Any news on an update yet?

Re: Any word on Moulin Rouge
Plus I wonder what it is that he's supposed to do. I guess supervise a new transfer, color correct it, or something? But they don't need him for that, they have the dvd as reference, assuming he liked the colors etc on that edition.
Definite buy if it comes out.

Re: Any word on Moulin Rouge
Hell, this film should come bundled with players upon it's release lol!
It's been awhile since i've watched the film but i'll never forget the sheer feeling of intoxication I felt the first time I saw it years ago, quite simply the film knocked me on my ass and i'm there day and date when it goes Blu.
