Go ahead, make my day...!! Clint in HD DVD.
This just in from WB:
--------------------
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRESS RELEASE ATTACHED
Warner Home Video's Definitive
New Dirty Harry Collection
Due To Launch In 2007 with
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment's
Dirty Harry Videogame
Los Angeles, May 10, 2006 -- Warner Home Video (WHV) will release the definitive Dirty Harry Collection in 2007 to coincide with the launch of the Dirty Harry videogame on next generation consoles from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (WBIE).
The joint announcement was made today at E3 2006 by Jason Hall, Senior Vice President of WBIE and by Jeff Baker, WHV's Senior Vice President and General Manager of Theatrical Catalog.
Clint Eastwood will be a key part of the unprecedented studio wide initiative, consulting on all creative aspects of both the projects. For the DVD release, all films from the celebrated franchise -- Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool -- will be upgraded to HD DVD with completely revamped sound and, with the help of Eastwood himself, may feature some never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage and many other bonus materials.
Beginning September 1 of this year, the five movies will be placed on moratorium for more than a year prior to their release.

 Great news!
Do you know if Warner will be presenting these in OAR or will they be adjusted to fill a 1.78 aspect ratio? |

The first four Dirty Harry movies (DH, MF, TE, SI) were shot in anamorphic Panavision 2.35:1 AR anyway.
DP was filmed flat/spherical on 35mm. Let me guess:  They will open up the mattes to fill the 16:9 screen. (and I don't mind that, unless they crop the sides instaed of opening the frame) |

Re: Go ahead, make my day...!! Clint in HD DVD.
I'd really rather have Play Misty For Me. That would make my day. I know, guys like Harry. My dad and brother loved Harry.
Rachael, the big disc cat! I used to be looking for Hi-Vision Laserdiscs & D-Theater tapes, now I'm looking for HD-DVD's and Blu-rays.
I survived the AFI top 100 Film Challenge! I've seen them all.
