At last! Moulin Rouge on Blu-ray! (1 Viewer)

[Ron-P]

What happened to the "The Digital Bits said "By the way, we've learned from industry sources that Fox will likely announce the release of Baz Luhrman's Moulin Rouge! on Blu-ray in the weeks ahead..."

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Did Bill Hunt say "the weeks ahead?"

I don't have the exact quote in front of me.

He's merely reporting that they are working on the title.

If it were going to be a Christmas release we are past
the announcement date. If they are looking for a
February window then perhaps something will be
announced shortly.

You can't always time these things.

Yeah. He said "By the way, we've learned from industry sources that Fox will likely announce the release of Baz Luhrman's Moulin Rouge! on Blu-ray in the weeks ahead..." Like you said though, it's not an exact science and I originally posted that quote on September 20 so it's not like it's really been that long since Bill Hunt said it.

Maybe they're going for a tie-in with Valentine's Day?

Sounds plausible, since that would also be about the time a home video release of The Men Who Stare at Goats would be.

Typical Bill Hunt, I should have know better. When I read "weeks ahead", that means with in three or four weeks, at most.

The studio know's exactly when they plan to release titles, it's all about timing.

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Not always, Ron.

All we know the title is being prepp'd.

Perhaps there is no release window selected yet.

Furthermore, when it comes to dates set in stone
you of all people, a veteran of this forum, should
know those dates always change.

Heck, there is Warner stuff that was supposed
to be out 3 years ago despite the fact it has been
in the preparation stages since then.

Valentines Day sounds reasonable at this point.

I signed up to be notified by Amazon when it becomes available.

Looks like Romeo + Juliet is also getting prepped, according to blu-ray.com: http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=3665

Any idea when MR will street?

I did as well and just got the notice it was available for preorder:

http://www.amazon.com/Moulin-Rouge-Blu-ray-Nicole-Kidman/dp/B001G8XON0/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1279208145&sr=8-7


What I haven't seen is an official release date? Is this wishful thinking on Amazon's part or has a date been set?

[Ronald Epstein]

Date has not been set though it should be

forthcoming very shortly.


Would not be surprised if we see an official

announcement as early as this week or shortly

thereafter.


Gotta say, most all the studios thus far have

not really announced any "meaty" BD catalog

releases for the holiday season. Fox has really

pulled out the stops to ensure that there are some

great fan favorites coming our way.

^ Finding Nemo and the Fantasias were announced by Disney?

Jesse,


I'm not denying that the list of titles you provided

aren't good ones. You compiling and offering up

that look presents a very compelling list of titles

to choose from.


I am sure you are aware, however, that there has

been some loudly voiced concern about some of

the studios sitting on a lot of catalog product and

dragging their feet in getting releases out on Blu-ray.


I'm simply saying that, in my opinion, Fox has

really pulled out some prime offerings that are going

to easily compete what is being offered by other

studios. Of course, everyone has different tastes

in film so perhaps not everyone will be as enthusiastic

as I am at this point.
