I see a few unusual titles listed in the UK for Blu-ray Disc release recently.
Until Death is being planned for release by Momentum Pictures on October 6th, 2008.
This 2007 Jean-Claude Van Damme film was directed by Simon Fellows
Nothing looks nicer in High Definition than animation and Disney is running a promotion to help you increase your collection.
Right now take 40% off selected Pixar and Disney animated titles at Amazon, bringing the price down to just under $21 each.
Titles include Cars, Pixar Short Films Collection: Volume 1, Ratatouille, Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons and Dinosaur.
DVD Times has an interesting report up about the BDA press conference at IFA in Berlin.
Along with BD Live presentations, there are reports about Disney’s plans for Blu-ray over the next few years.
Another interesting week with new releases from studios big and small.
Perhaps of most interest, Walt Disney Studios is releasing The Nightmare Before Christmas.
This wonderful film from the imagination of Tim Burton is finally out in High Definition with loads of extras including Digital Copy. A must have in my opinion!
The Nightmare Before Christmas on Blu-ray Disc is only $27.95 at Amazon.
The Abba-centric Mamma Mia! has been listed by Universal Pictures UK for Blu-ray release on November 24th, 2008.
This is a movie of the musical that is based on the songs of Abba.
The Lost Prince has been scheduled by 2 Entertain Video for release on October 27th, 2008.
After listing both 2 and 3 Disc Editions for Prince Caspian, it looks like Disney is doing the same for Wall-E.
The Wall-E standard 2 Disc Edition will be released by Walt Disney Video on November 18th, 2008.
Retail will be $35.99, only $24.95 at Amazon.
The recent Angelina Jolie action movie Wanted will be released by Universal Pictures UK on December 1st, 2008.
Hopefully we will see an official US announcement soon also.
Universal Pictures also has some TV coming - Ricky Gervias in Extras - The Christmas Specials - on November 3rd, 2008.
A range of titles are scheduled for Blu-ray Disc today, August 19th.
Walt Disney Video is trying its hand at teen related movies on Blu-ray, releasing Best of Both Worlds Concert: The 3-D Movie, which is $23.95 at Amazon, and Camp Rock: Extended Rock Star Edition, which is $22.95 at Amazon.
Amazon has a new sale listed today, that includes the recently reduced Lionsgate and Starz titles reported previously.
The sale also includes Disney titles as well as small distributors like Magnolia and HDNet - 83 titles in total.
Titles include Sex and Death 101, The Bank Job, Mad Men - Season One, The World’s Fastest Indian, Rambo and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.
Looks like the UK is getting some new Blu-ray release announcements ahead of the US again.
