Does someone has the Howling Laserdisc ?

it features some rare bonuses

Dante’s commentary on the deleted scenes, or the eight-minute interview with special effects wizard David Allen, who created a couple of stop-motion werewolf shots that were dropped from the film.

Speaking of, just saw an interview with James Cameron talking about his decisions to extend movies (specifically Avatar, but also the current BD restoration of Aliens)... and he said there are a few nice deleted scenes from True Lies he's considering putting back.

Enough with the giant smurfs already, I want some TL in a special edition BD.

Btw: is there interest in a full DVD PAL2NTSC DVD9 conversion of True Lies?

 You don't need a PAL2NTSC.  There's already a 16x9 version in NTSC from the Japanese Disc.

I'm currently making a blu-ray of the HD version with all extras.

There's no labor involved.  it's a very quick process.

I also have the Japanese DTS DVD as well. ;)

The back to the future DVD's in the US did not have the restored DTS mix found on the Japan DVD's.  Wonder if they are on the blu ray?

As to Cameron will he ruin true lies with DVNR like he has promised to remove all grain from Aliens?

 Back to the Future is going to have lossless audio so the dts track is moot.

As far as we know, everyone has over-reacted to the Cameron statement.  It apparently looks amazing.

@ digitalfreaknyc,
So when do you think it will be finished(True Lies BD) and will you share it?

Do you have a problem downloading 25gb? :)

I'm just waiting for the extras from the German version. :)

Blunt rip from TDB:

First up today, there's been a small degree of panic in some quarters online in the last couple days about director James Cameron's recent comments on the remastered Aliens transfer. Cameron was video interviewed over at Coming Soon.net about Avatar, and about 5:30 into the clip he talks about the new Aliens HD master for the upcoming Blu-ray. To quote: "It's spectacular. We went in and completely de-noised it, de-grained it, up-rezzed, color-corrected every frame, and it looks amazing. It looks better that it looked in the theaters originally. Because it was shot on a high-speed negative that was a new negative that didn't pan out too well and got replaced the following year. So it's pretty grainy. We got rid of all the grain. It's sharper and clearer and more beautiful than it's ever looked. And we did that to the long version, to the 'director's cut' or the extended play."

As you might expect, all that talk of de-noising and de-graining has some fans freaked out that the release is going to suffer the same excessively DNR-ed fate as Fox's recent Predator: Ultimate Hunter Blu-ray. Here's the deal: Everyone we trust who was involved, and/or has actually SEEN the new Aliens HD master for Blu-ray, reports to us that the film looks terrific. To the degree that DNR was used, it was applied carefully and with a light hand, with an eye toward striking the proper balance between maintaining the detail and integrity of the image and the desire to reduce grain and address the deficiencies of the stock used at the time. There is apparently STILL grain left in the image, it's just no longer excessive or distracting. Plus, Cameron is no slouch when it comes to the presentation quality of his films on disc, and he approved this transfer and master. Look, there's a VERY big difference in digital mastering when the filmmakers are directly involved in the process, as opposed to when they're not. So we're told the disc looks great, we trust that it looks great and I'll personally work to directly confirm that. My own feeling is that Predator was probably an aberration. Fox has generally been doing very good mastering work for Blu-ray in the last year or so, and I suspect this is going to be a non-issue when we all get our hands on the Aliens disc. 'Nuff said for now. By the way, it's a good interview at Coming Soon, so do check it out.

 I'm aware of the blurb.  I trust the bits to know when it's done right.  I don't think it's going to be a problem.

Does anyone remember the movie The Howling? I just got my copy on Blu-ray from Australia, yet another old classic not released in the US.

Hey DJ,

The Howling was a great werewolf movie back-in-the-day.  Didn't know this one was out on blu.

Man.. It's been a while... we need to talk sometime.  I've added some new goodies to my foreign collection!! :-)

I was just talking about this film a couple of days ago.

This news is not about an out of region movie but just a heads up to all the Resident Evil fans here, Walmart has RE1-3 plus Degeneration available in Exclusive Walmart Steelbooks right now for $15 a piece, OH and did I mention it is Blu-ray, and the steelbooks are Blu-ray sized, not DVD.
