Blade Runner 25th Anniversary & Kubrick Collection Advertising Insert
I've mentioned this in the recent 2001 - A Space Odyssey on HD-DVD discussion thread, but thought it was important enough to do a separate post, for those who are interested & may have missed it.
This flyer was included in my Ultimate Matrix HD-DVD Boxset;
 
It's good to see a date in print for the Blade Runner HD-DVD  I only hope Warner can stick to it. I remember the early flyers included in the first HD-DVD releases that touted Harry Potter as coming in Summer 2006. Unfortunately, you guys in the US are still waiting..
As for the Kubrick collection, hopefully the Full Metal Jacket release is remastered, as the current HD-DVD is well known for it's problematic transfer. Fingers crossed too that Eyes Wide Shut is the unrated version.
Personally I can't wait for all these. It seems the whole year is shaping up to be a costly one for us HD nuts! |

Re: Blade Runner 25th Anniversary & Kubrick Collection Advertising Insert
The more I hear regarding the Q4 HD releases, the more I'm starting to think the guys that sold off all their SD DVDs aren't nuts. Not only is going back to SD a let down, but, damn it, I'm going to need to free up some cash to afford all of this! |

Re: Blade Runner 25th Anniversary & Kubrick Collection Advertising Insert
Interesting that the Blade Runner Ad only mentions HD-DVD, whereas the Kubrick one mentions both. I know Warner said they'd release Blade Runner on both - I hope for the BD people it isn't delayed until the issues with the interactive features are ironed out.

Don't count on it. Unless BD Java is sorted out well before October, a BD release may not happen for some time.

Re: Blade Runner 25th Anniversary & Kubrick Collection Advertising Insert
The link at the bits doesn't work anymore, but I think the Blade Runner set was like $100. But I think that was Australian dollars if that helps.
I just remember it registered as a lot. I want all the cuts, but I'll sure be shopping for specials. And I don't doubt it will be a longer wait for BD. More time to save the money I guess.

Very excited about the Kubrick releases but there's no way I'm buying Eyes Wide Shut if it's the rated/edited/whatever release.
DVD & Blu-ray - It's all about the movies!

Re: Blade Runner 25th Anniversary & Kubrick Collection Advertising Insert
Very disappointed that the upcoming Kubrick Collection doesn't appear to include Barry Lyndon. The current 1.66:1 transfer is beautiful - but NOT anamorphic, and as such is perhaps most in need of an upgrade.
