Shaun Of The Dead - July 31st
Thought I'd start this thread as no-one else seems to have done one. Personally, I can't wait for this one... Looks like July 31st is going to be quite a good day for HD. Shaun of the Dead, Shooter and 300! Next up, Hot Fuzz!!


Quote:
Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced it will bring the British cult favorite 'Shaun of the Dead' to HD DVD on July 31.

The zombie spoof, conceived by 'Hot Fuzz' cohorts Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, became a surprise sleeper in the U.S. during its original 2004 theatrical run. But it has since enjoyed an even greater afterlife on video, which should bode well for sales on HD DVD.

Universal will present the film in a 1080p/VC-1 transfer, along with a Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 surround track (at 1.5mbps).

Extras will mirror the standard-def DVD version, which includes a wealth of "Raw Meat" bonus features: audio commentary with the filmmakers, a director video diary, deleted scenes, outtakes, zombie trivia and more.

Universal has set a $29.98 retail price for 'Shaun of the Dead.'

Re: Shaun Of The Dead - July 31st
Love the film. Hate that cover.

Will probably be buying, being the inveterate Pegg-head that I am.

Isn't fandom an expensive thing?

Shaun of the Dead is great. Didn't fancy Hot Fuzz that much though.

Re: Shaun Of The Dead - July 31st
Shaun isn't an impressive HD disk but it's still might fine HD DVD all things considered and not owning the DVD the extras are excellent.

Re: Shaun Of The Dead - July 31st
Mines here but still wrapped - does it ONLY have the cast commentary, or are all those from the DVD on there?

Re: Shaun Of The Dead - July 31st
Yeah the commentary's missing is a bit of a kick in the nads Then again they may be on the UK version.

Pretty sure they weren't on the US DVD.

Picture quality seems excellent at start then went downhill a bit. Still a quality Rom-Zom-Com though

The UK DVD release is the only one with all 4 commentary tracks so I guess if you want them all you should wait for the UK HD-DVD release.

Re: Shaun Of The Dead - July 31st
I watched the US HD DVD a few days ago.

I really liked the movie (never seen it before). Thought the PQ was good, but started much stronger than it finished.

Waiting for the UK version of Hot Fuzz as hate combo discs, but went for the US SoD, as hate the Universal UK boxes!

I got Shaun/Dead from Movietyme last week. It's an average transfer, good in places with grainy artifacts elsewhere.

I have used them for the last 7 or so years and never had a problem with them so hopefully Hot Fuzz will arrive on or before release.

I really would advise waiting for the UK. So, so many extras missing from the US release - the outtakes aren't even included

- Audio Commentary by the Zombies
- Fright Fest 2003 Teaser (1:28)
- Official Teaser (1:38)
- 2 TV Spots (0:43)
