Warner lets some of the Q4 releases out of the bag, including some surprises.....
http://www.warnervideo.com/warner_br...ml/titles.html
Click on "Browse Titles"
A lot of these were expected, but there are some surprises on there as well, such as Burton's Batman (which looks to be HD-DVD only - IME features I presume?), Batman Anime (might be the rumored anime "prequel" to The Dark Knight that bridges the gap between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight), the theatrical cut of Superman II, SUperman: Doomsday, Twister (w/ cover art) etc. It also lists The Departed: Special Edition separately from the standard version that's out now - are they double dipping it already?

from the Warner Bros. HD website.
A bit disappointed that there are so few (almost none) pre-1965 classics.
OTOH, I'm glad to see Justice League: The (New) Frontier listed.
Also a bit baffled by the inclusion of The Cincinatti Kid. The other two Steve McQueen movies, both arguably more popular than TCK, were poor sellers. It seems odd that Warner would go back to the well on another McQueen title, when there are a bunch of other classics (and stars) that seem more ripe for exploitation. I know I would be more excited about something like East Of Eden or Rebel Without a Cause...or a especially a new transfer of Giant. Just seems odd to me.
A few of these do look a good ways off though, so I guess the list doens't mean all that much at the moment. |

ya beat me by a minute Nick 
hopefully the mods can merge that post into this thread.
as I said in that thread though, I don't think all that many of these are going to see a Q4 release.
I think its apparent that Dark Knight is at least 13 months off, and some of these other titles are also still in production or likely to be tied into movies still in production. |

Seeing Heat on that list brings warm feelings to my heart. That is the one movie I have ever really wanted -- nay, NEEDED on HD-DVD.

How did I miss that? That really is a great list. I may have to get another job just for that list.

I Am Legend
In the Valley of Elah
The Invasion
Justice League: The New Frontier
L.A. Confidential
A Little Princess (1995) (Blu-ray only)
Magnum Force
The Matrix films (Sold separately - both formats)
The Matrix Online Game Card (?????)
Men
Michael Clayton
Mutiny on the Bounty (Blu-ray - already out on HD-DVD)

Spring Breakdown
Sudden Impact
Superman Doomsday
Superman II (Theatrical) (HD-DVD only)
Taking Lives - Unrated
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Blu-ray - already out on HD-DVD)
That's Entertainment
That's Entertainment 2
That's Entertainment 3

Twister
The Ultimate Matrix Trilogy (Blu-ray - already out on HD-DVD)
V for Vendetta (Blu-ray - already out on HD-DVD)
The West Wing: The Complete Seventh Season
Whiteout
The Wizard of Oz
Now, some of these are obviously listed because they have been in plans for a while (The Shawshank Redemption on the insert ads, anyone?), while others are complete surprises to me.
Hopefully, the several HD-DVD exclusive (and one Blu-ray exclusive) titles are only listed as such due to how the info is on the website. I mean, I see no reason why The Shawshank Redemption or A Little Princess would be exclusive either way.
Personally speaking, at the very least I'll be getting the following releases on Blu-ray:
The Adventures of Robin Hood
The Aviator
Batman Begins
Bonnie and Clyde
Casablanca

but Eraser was classic Arnold. Bad Ass and carrying big daddy guns. 
And we never got any SE disc for Eraser. Just the first 1997 issue with "jump to a scene" features.
