Has anyone picked up a copy of THE WILD BOYS yet?? It's kinda the best movie of the year in my small opinion. For fans of Kenneth Anger, Guy Maddin, and James Bidgood!
Latest reports on the U.S. blu-ray indicate that while the back of the box promotes a lossy DD 5.1 track it in fact has a 5.1 DTS-HD track and a 2.0 PCM track.
BD-25
People are starting to get their copies of GOC on Blu-ray from Samuel Goldwyn!
The back of the box says Dolby Digital 5.1 - so there might not be a lossless audio option. I've put a query in.
That was a title they distributed through Warner Bros. I believe - Now they're doing home video themselves or through a smaller Home Video company. I was using this for reference: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?studioid=2154
If I'm wrong please forgive me! :)
I can guarantee you it's that they entered into production so late on this one that they weren't able to get ANY product to Amazon by street date. Give it 1-2 weeks and then I'm sure it'll arrive at their warehouses.
Remember this is the first time Samuel Goldwyn has produced a blu-ray EVER...
Yes! It's an entirely new technology both on the software side and on the hardware side.
For your average indie studio it would cost at least $3,000 or more (over what they usually pay) to author the disc and probably two to three times as much to replicate the discs.
Big studios have to think...
