"We're gotten word from our industry sources that Sony is current working on Blu-ray Disc versions of Das Boot and Run Lola Run for release early in 2008."

Das Boot, yes! Here´s hoping that they´ll include also the TV-version! (I can hope...)

Das Boot is a must have title for me! I've been hearing Feb 08.

and I'll second the longer cut request.

Run Lola Run will be insane with a PCM or TrueHD audio track.

I'm sure that Run Lola Run will look amazing in HD. It's been on my wish-list for months now; I hope this is true!

This is too much to hope for, but it would be nice if Sony put some more extras on the disc this time. The commentary from the SD-DVD is ok, but I'd love to see a retrospective documentary, particularly in light of Potente's moderately successful career in the English-speaking market. (Even if Creep wasn't any good....)

Excellent!! Das Boot is an amazing film and well worth an upgrade from SD DVD.

I'm all over Run Lola Run.

Here's hoping for Amelie to be announced next...

Hopefully, with how they are doing seemelss branching on Close Encounters and Spider-Man 2, they will do the same for Das Boot.

With BD's storage capacity, would a single disc version of Das Boot be possible without degrading image quality? Is there even such thing as a variable bit rate video on BD?

Lola Rennt might be enough to make me go HD (I'll buy a dual format player if I take the dive). The SD version currently available in Canada sucks (from Seville Films, not SPHE).

Even the new compression algorithms aren't static as to their bitrate. I'm sure given a competent compressionist this release will look (and fit) just fine.

I expect a high quality variable bitrate single disc "Das Boot". A terrific film but I own the Superbit DVD and will pass, I have too little money and I just bought a bunch of DVD-A/SACD's. It is probably wrong to say the image won't be degraded at all compared to a higher bitrate 2-disc release since it is a long film. Like most things in life compromises are necessary.

This year is the 30th anniversary of Das Boot's release in Germany.  If they're looking for an excuse to release it on blu, this is it!
