The 'Bits has related info in the past on big titles that hasn't panned out. Last year they said the original Alien was likey for the first half of this year. The year before that, there would absolutely be a huge 30th ann set for Star Wars. I'm not accusing Mr Hunt of lying, I realize this is what he hears. But most of us have been around the block here a few times to realize how this works. It is a rarity to see a given property make it out well in advance of synergistic promotion for a related theatrical product or sequel. I suppose there is a chance that Fox could release the first two this year and then offer some kind of discounted (or more feature laden) repackage a year later with the Wolverine vid release, but my gut says spring next year is more likely- unless Fox is missing big summer movies this year. A void there might push the two X films further ahead in the queque sooner. We'll see. Even Mr Hunt usually is sure to add the caveat that 'remember- plans can always change' . I've been meaning to pull out the old dvds and see how they look on my current pj. They had always looked great before on the XGA with just a good prog scan player.
