Countdown to Kong...
T-minus 16 days and counting ...at least that's the rumour I'm hearing.

Re: Countdown to Kong...
That would be cool.
If true, when do you think it is likely an official announcement will be made? Hopefully at least a week prior to the release date.
That would mean we should hear in about a week if true.
My fingers are crossed.

Re: Countdown to Kong...
I thought Batman Begins was the "big" rumored title, but maybe it's KK instead.

I would love to have both titles, but I guess that's asking for too much.

Re: Countdown to Kong...
Kong has been promised on HD DVD so many times it's funny. But hey, if that helps them to sell some more gear, more power to them.

Re: Countdown to Kong...
Universal has been much better at giving retailers ample lead time between announcements and releases than Warners, so 16 days from now seems unlikely.
"If you write a story about a soldier going AWOL and kidnapping a pregnant woman and finally shooting her in the head, it's called searingly realistic, even though it's never happened in the history of mankind. Whereas if you write about two people falling in love, which happens about a million times a day all over the world, for some reason or another, you're accused of writing something unrealistic and sentimental."
-Richard Curtis, Screenwriter and Director

Re: Countdown to Kong...
Well, Batman Begins wouldn't really be a rumored title since it is a title that we officially know is coming. It had it's release date changed, and now it is a mystery as to what date it will actually come. But it won't be a surprise when it comes. So it could be BB.
King Kong, on the other hand, has never (as far as I know) been listed by Universal as an HD DVD that was "coming soon" (with the exception of its presence on the HD DVD demo disc). There's been lots of speculation about it being released soon, but nothing showing it in a list of planed titles from Universal around launch time with only release dates that are uncertain. Correct me if I'm wrong.
So, a big upcoming title in two weeks would seem to fit BB more than Kong. We know BB is coming and we know Warner Brothers has been terrible with the amount of time between official giving release dates and the actual release date. Though if the "angle" of this information is that the title itself is big AND also surprise, then it would fit Kong better.
I'd be happy with either, though I hope for both soon.
The titles I'm most anxious to get soon are:
Batman Begins
The Matrix
King Kong
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the colors in this should SHINE on HD DVD)
The Corpse Bride (I'd bet this one will be out closer to October)
Hope to have all of those within this year (hopefully soon for some of them).
