Criterion wanted "Benjamin Button" but not "Forrest Gump"?

Paramount really needs to get around to releasing "Saving Private Ryan".

Agreed. Doesn't Paramount also own the Shrek movies? I know they were Dreamworks movies but I thought they were released while Dreamworks was owned by Paramount. (?)

Do we know if these "sapphire" releases will be technically different than the other blu-rays? Similar to the superbit? I mean, apart from the extras, are they encoding them in higher bitrates than normal blu-ray discs?

Paramount also has most of spielbergs body of work, the only spielberg movie out on Blu is Indy 4

actually, most of spielberg's career was spent at universal with occasional forays to warner ("empire of the sun", "the color purple") and columbia/sony ("close encounters of the third kind", "hook").

dreamworks animation was spun off from dreamworks before paramount bought dreamworks, so paramount doesn't own any of the animated movies. it does have a distribution deal with dreamworks animation, though, so paramount is the most-likely candidate to release those movies.
