NIce to see The Kingdom there, didnt expect that so soon, probably out in the States for a bit noe though. No doubt another grainy Mann film but not a prob for me.

Will definatley pick up Inside Man, Carlitos Way, Chuck & Larry, Tremors, Bourne, Balls Of Fury and American Pie aswell

The Kingdom is directed by Mann? I thought it was by Peter Berg (did the film Very Bad Things).

Jim Morrison · 20-09-2007, 8:06 AM

Just The Bourne Ultimatum out of that lot for me.

klacey · 20-09-2007, 8:33 AM

Evan almighty(laughed my ass off)
Weird science (one of my favs)
Bourne (probably the best film this year)
The kingdom (looks good from reviews)
American pie (nadia in hd, need i say more)

all of these will be mine.

Me too, Jim.

Thank heaven's for that!

I sat down with Me Julie last night and...erm...shall we say 'negotiated' our high def purchases between now and Christmas.

At least I don't have another 7 titles to add to the list when i get home tonight - I'd have been in the dog house.

You missed Battlestar Galactica!

Already on pre-order here

I think American Pie, Bourne and Weird Science will get added to my order list

Ditto - the best TV series on at present

Hopefully they won't be too sluggish about getting the rest out on HD DVD. I'm hoping we'll see Razor before too long - and if they can get the HD DVD set of Season 4 day and date with next years DVD release I would be delighted.

I've already seen Mr Beans Holiday out on HD DVD (It's in HMV in Birmingham and I've seen it in ASDA.). We must have had it early or this list is out of date.

Jeff · 20-09-2007, 9:18 AM

Mr Bean was released early in the UK, it's nice to get the odd film ahead of the US for once.

You're right! Mann is Producing and wrote the intial story it seems, his name was in huge letters on the poster at the cinema so presumed he was directing.

danvitale · 20-09-2007, 10:35 AM

Only Carlito's Way and The Bourne Ultimatum really float my boat out of all that lot.

Jamz3k · 20-09-2007, 11:03 AM

as much as i totally back HD-DVD and all that i can't shake the feeling of disappointment for films coming out. Out of all those films the only one i would consider purchasing is Bourne because am i really going to get anymore more out of buying Weird Science on HD-DVD than DVD?

JamesL · 20-09-2007, 11:11 AM

Another one for Battlestar Galactica here; it's the HD highlight of the year for me

Also going to pickup the Bourne Trilogy boxset (not listed by OP), Pride & Prejudice, The Kingdom and Inside Man.

I guess Atonement and Golden Age won't arrive until next year?

Don't forget that's only the releases from one studio... and probably not complete either. I also hope we get more from all the studios as HD-DVD do tend to release details just before the disc rather than large lists months in advance.. I think there are about 150 titles due to be released on HD-DVD Q4 2007, according to the HD-DVD group.. so there might be some more that take your fancy..

Yes this list isn't complete (as is obvious from the lack of battlestar) and it's been going around for at least a month it's not in anyway official and doesn't include some of the other titles from universal that have been very heavily rumored.

I wouldn't get too pleased or disapointed by list to be honest.

Another vote for both of these titles - hopefully we'll see them sooner rather than later!

JayEm · 20-09-2007, 1:01 PM

I'll pick up American Pie.

Transformers? Shrek 3? Second and third highest grossing films of the year. Or what about whatever else Paramount or Warner etc release.

From your list it looks like the UK got The Reaping before the US too.

BenchyUK · 20-09-2007, 9:47 PM

There's quite a few Major HD-DVD titles being released with box sets of Harry Potter, Bourne Collection and Oceans Box set

I'll be getting Blade Runner, Shrek, Transformers, Bourne Ultimatum, Oceans Collection, and the combo-redo's of Superman Returns and The Departed

*Spidey987* · 20-09-2007, 9:53 PM

Lee, where are you getting your Warner re-issues? I've been having trouble finding many sites with them up for pre-order.

Me too - S4 HD-DVD day and date with the DVD would be most excellent!

TBH mate, i hadn't thought of it. I was just assumed i could buy it from movietyme as soon as it comes available. I hope there won't be problems getting them

Apparently we might have a long wait before we see the DVDs let alone the HD DVDs

The SciFi Channel are currently not planning to finish screening Season 4 until Feb 2009

Blimey!

Do you think they might release Season 4 in two parts on DVD?

Hopefully Universal will release Seasons 2 & 3 on HD-DVD to tie us over through 2008.

I believe it's what they do in the US so you never know.
