We are reading that as well as the new titles for Blu-ray we reported earlier, Paramount will reinstate a number of the the titles they discontinued last year.

Titles being re-released as Paramount gets back into Blu-ray production are Aeon Flux, Babel, Black Snake Moan, Coming to America, Disturbia, Dreamgirls, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Sleepy Hollow, The Untouchables, The Warriors, Trading Places, We Were Soldiers and World Trade Center. This represents a little less than half of the Paramount distributed titles before they discontinued the format.

We should add thought that while Paramount discontinued these titles, Amazon has had stock of Babel, Dreamgirls and World Trade Center as well as Failure to Launch, Four Brothers, Hustle & Flow, Manchurian Candidate, Mission: Impossible, Mission: Impossible II, Nacho Libre, Norbit and Reds - so at May 20 there could easily be over 20 Paramount titles available at the site.

We also see that Blades of Glory has been added to the release slate and also that all but Face/Off will have lossless audio, so it seems that those who imported Face/Off from the UK have not necessarily wasted their money since the UK version features PCM audio.
