Tombstone and Robin Hood

These are the two movies I want the most. Anyone hear any information on these two titles? BTW the Robin Hood I am referring to is Prince of Thieves with Kevin Costner.

Oh, ok, I thought you were talking about this one:

"These are the two movies I want the most."

Well, both of these films are currently available in standard definition. Do you mean you want them in high def? If so, you may have to wait a while.

When and if they do arrive in high definition, "Tombstone" will probably only be available in Blu-ray because it's a Disney/Buena Vista product, and "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" will probably be available in both Blu-ray and HD DVD because it's a Warner Bros. release. But neither studio has announced any plans to release either movie in high def yet.

John, I heard somewhere recently [forgot, sorry] that Disney is bringing both TOMBSTONE and CON AIR to Blu-ray in 2008, among others. Of course, we will never know for sure until an official announcement from the studio.

Very probable, Love. "Tombstone" and "Con Air" are among Disney/BV's most popular titles. They should make it to Blu-ray before long. The studio has already issued both of them in high-bit-rate deluxe editions, so the high-def masters are undoubtedly waiting and ready until the studio thinks the timing is right with market penetration.

How about this Robin Hood?

Hood, I know I've seen that one but I don't remember anything about it

Speaking of Mel Brooks, and to take this thread as far off course as possible so the Message Board police will get after me, I see that Brooks is bringing "Young Frankenstein" to Broadway as a musical. If so, a few years down the pike we may be seeing a musical film version. Just something to think about or look forward to or regret. Whatever, it's a slow day....

Hey John,

I just picked up the SpEd DVD film version of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN this past Sunday, on sale for $4.99 (at Circuit City). Anamorphic and remastered special edition. Since most Fox Blu-rays are very expensive (highest of all studios), I will buy some of their classics on standard DVD, when on discount sale. Already this year, I've picked up several of their War classics, etc.

I own just two Fox Blu-ray discs [each was $14.99 on sale], Kingdom of Heaven and Alien vs Predator, but have rented several of their others. I liked their comedy Employee of the Month [funny!], and would buy it one day, if on discount sale.
