Big welcome to Paidgeek.

First off - Great work on Hellboy, The Fifth Element (redo), Casino Royale, etc. Really looking forward to Bram Stoker's Dracula, Close Encounters, Life of Brian, 20 Million Miles to Earth and the Spider-Man flicks.

Also can't wait for the rumored 08 titles: Das Boot, Taxi Driver, Lawrence of Arabia and Bridge on the River Kwai so I have to say I'm glad you folks at Sony are opening up the vaults a bit as it's the only way to expand the demographics - tempting the classic film enthusiasts into adopting this format. Not to mention how much I want these titles in High Def.

I guess my question is what kind of shape are the other Ray Harryhausen titles: Jason and the Argonaughts, 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Golden Voyage of Sinbad, Mysterious Island, etc? and is the format too young to expect older genre titles such as these and others like Curse of the Demon, etc?

Also can you drop a hint if the first 20 Bond films are at least being considered in the next 12-18 months?

Lastly a request:
To port over all extras from SD editions. Even though the extras may only be available in standard def for us collectors repurchasing these titles, we feel shortchanged by not having everything available that previous SD editions had. Don't give collectors a reason not to upgrade.
