Hey folks,
As if you needed another reason to go ahead and invest in a Blu-ray player, the latest Criterion newsletter announced that they will be unleashing their first batch of Blu-ray titles in October. Supplemental content will be the same as content on the standard DVD releases.
The titles being released on Blu-ray are:
The Third Man
Bottle Rocket
Chungking Express
The Man Who Fell to Earth
The Last Emperor
El Norte
The 400 Blows
Gimme Shelter
The Complete Monterey Pop
Contempt
Walkabout
For All Mankind
The Wages of Fear
Criterion adds: "Alongside our DVD and Blu-ray box sets of The Last Emperor, we'll also be putting out the theatrical version as a stand-alone release in both formats, priced at $39.95. Our Blu-ray release of Walkabout will be an all-new edition, featuring new supplements as well as a new transfer; we will also release an updated anamorphic DVD of Nicolas Roeg's outback masterpiece at the same time."
I know I'm excited about seeing some of these titles in hi-def. How about you?
