The Golden Compass on DVD & Blu-ray

So when is the HD DVD version coming out?

if I'm not mistaken it's also being released over sea's, around the same exact time, THX...:-)

correct me if i'm wrong, but as an aussie, it is my opinion that Nicole Kidman is one of our most overated actresses of modern times, personally i don't even think she can act because she only ever plays characters that are very similar to herself..... just throwing it out there

This is one title i wont mind waiting three weeks for the HD DVD release lol (should it even be released)

It is my understanding that even though New Line is an affiliate of Warner Bros., as is BBC Pictures, the companies follow their own paths in terms of high def. WB is continuing to produce HD DVD until the end of May, BBC will continue to be dual format for the foreseeable future, and New Line seems to have stopped all HD DVD production as of here and now. Although New Line's press site still lists "Hairspray" as "forthcoming on HD DVD," I think maybe "Pan's Labyrinth" will be their first and last HD DVD (unless they have a sudden change of heart). I honestly don't think anybody knows where HD DVD is going at the moment. We'll have to wait and see.

According to 1Advd's website it's being released April 4 of 2008 along with a few nice surprises such as L.A. Confidential, Robin Hood, Mystic River, Death Sentence and that flick with Robin Williams Hillary Swank and Al Pacino.... I'm having a major brain fart right now but I'm sure you know the one I'm trying to remember, THX..:-}

Interesting. 1Advd is a German Web site, and the edition announced there is the German edition. I wonder if New Line is only releasing the German version, because the studio hasn't announced anything about an HD DVD edition for this country. (Unlike their WB affiliate, who will continue making HD DVDs until the end of May, New Line now seem to have stopped production of all HD DVDs in the U.S.) Well, at least HD DVD owners may be able to buy it from Europe, and it says there is an English soundtrack:

I could be another studio in Europe. This is very common.

I could not help notice on the shop site that the ULITIMATE EDTION of Terminator 2 now has a date. March 20th.



Trailer recorded at Electronics Show

Looks to be the best HD version yet.
