Delay in Fantastic Four: Rise Of Silver Surfer Blu-ray??

KevD · 24-09-2007, 5:35 PM

Not one of the normal sites for news but just noticed at Movietymes Blogspot that "possible production issues" may have caused a delay in the release of F4/Silver Surfer Blu-ray.

While I am sure many (if not most) will say no loss, I like the F4 films and was looking foward to this. It had a street date of 2nd Oct and I would have expected this to be processing/shipping from alot of the import sites already but no news.

Could this be similar to the Master & Commander delay??

Same- I actually liked this and am looking forward to it.

I don't want to wait till 2008!

3rd party BD50 disc replication was supposed to go online this summer but hasn't yet. I wonder if this is the problem.

Bit of a disappointment!

Tut (if true) was looking forward to this

Fox have said there is no truth to the rumors and that the disc will be released next Tuesday as planned. So thats good news.

Yes I hope so

I would have expected Movietyme to have sent this now if all was normal- still I hope its all ok

Ha Ha
Apparently the RRP for the UK release next month is £39.99!

That must be a mistake! Is it a Laserdisc?

DVD.CO.UK have it up for £17.99, that's not too bad for a new release

Amazon.com show the US release as the 9th now!

My Sendit.com order for this is now showing "Ready for Dispatch". I wouldn't be surprised if they sent it today/tomorrow due to the imminent postal strike which will likely see delivery delayed until next week.

Sounds like there is lots of problems with this disc, Very long (as in multiple minute) load time on many players and doesn't play at all or has real stuttering on others. Seems like it's fine on the ps3 though but a little slower than most discs, some other players are fine but slow too.

Is this a BD+ issue?
