Não compro BDs japoneses portanto o da Criterion é o melhor caminho; o do Bergman eu já vi, é ótimo e me interessa muito; concordo com o resto. Portanto, para mim, é o melhor mês do selo no ano.

20th%20Century%20FoxThe Blu-ray release of Alien Anthology, just announced, is only one aspect of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment's yearlong campaign to honor the studio's 75th birthday. Select Fox fan-favorites are coming out on Blu-ray this year, and have just gone up for preorder (albeit without a date): The Last of the Mohicans, Moulin Rouge!, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Romeo + Juliet, and The Sound of Music.

The Sound of Music will initially be available in a Limited Edition Collector's Set, probably in the vein of recent ultimate collector's editions such as The Wizard of Oz.

New Gladiator Blu-ray release sports updated transfer, disc exchange program

 

By Brenden July 22, 2010 Post a comment

 

 

 

 

< height="385" width="640">< name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LROuaotbqZ8&hl=en&fs=1&">< name="allowFullScreen" value="true">< name="allowaccess" value="always">< ="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LROuaotbqZ8&hl=en&fs=1&" ="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="385" width="640">>

This is some shocking and very welcome news! You might recall all the hubbub surrounding the release of Paramount‘s Gladiator: Sapphire Series Blu-ray last year (read our full review of the disc here.)

Fans and critics were truly disappointed when the highly anticipated

disc turned up with a less-than-stellar transfer, complete with edge

enhancement and DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) which effectively turned

the film into a muddy mess. Well, now a new Blu-ray release of the film

has been unleashed on European audiences, sporting a gorgeous new 4K

transfer. And, according to Paramount, those who purchased the

previously issued, flawed disc here on this side of the Atlantic, will

be able to exchange it for an updated version featuring the same 4K

transfer from overseas!

Those screengrabs above, along with several more examples of the new transfer can be found at comparescreenshots.slicx.com.

Now, we don’t have all the details of the exchange program yet but rest

assured, it’s happening. Here’s Paramount’s official statement on the

matter:

 

“We are implementing a limited exchange program. This

program is only for those consumers that may have preferential issues

with some of the technical DVNR (digital video noise reduction) and EE

(edge enhancement) choices made in the original source transfer, and so

would prefer to exchange it for one that addresses those preferences in a

different manner.

While the version that we originally distributed was of the

highest quality, some enthusiasts may prefer to view it without the Edge

Enhancement and DVNR implemented as standard process in bringing the

film to hi-def. This new master resolves those issues.”

Apparently, a running change will be made to the current Gladiator

release which will see all future shipments of the title being revised

with the updated transfer. Call Paramount Home Entertainment’s customer

service hotline number (323-956-3010) for more details and to arrange

your exchange.
