The Chronicles of Narnia: Blu-Ray (US) 13/05/08

[KeanosMagicHat]

Specs as announced below;

"The Blu-ray release will include the 135 minute theatrical cut and not the 150 extended cut.

The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe will be presented in widescreen 2.4:1 1080p video and PCM 5.1 uncompressed 48 kHz/16-bit lossless audio.

The supplemental features mirror those found on the two-disc standard DVD set with one exception.

'Battle For Narnia' All-New Game
Creatures Of The World
Explore Narnia 3-D Map
Legends In Time
Audio Commentary With Director Andrew Adamson And Stars
Audio Commentary With The Filmmakers
The Bloopers Of Narnia
Chronicles Of A Director
The Children's Magical Journey
Evolution Of An Epic
From One Man's Mind
Cinematic Storytellers
Creating Creatures
Anatomy Of A Scene

The 'Battle of Narnia' game is described as an 'interactive role-playing' experience which we presume will be authored in BD-J. Notably missing from the specs is full motion picture-in-picture support, a feature Disney previously mentioned as being included in the release."

Buena Vista have not been consistent in their approach to region coding, so it's unknown whether this will be locked or not at present.

are you sure about 16bit audio ?

I hope that it's just typo...., there is hope for 24bit

Does anyone think we will get the extended cut at some point?

I prefer that version

PQ on the first disc (the movie) is superb in my view. Although this is a mixed blessing as it shows up the truly shoddy CGI blue-screen in places.

All the extra's are SD which makes one wonder why they're advertising this as a 2-disk Blu-Ray release. The second disc might just as well be a standard DVD.

The blu-ray comes in a cardboard library case much like "Golden Compass" did.
