Paramount Catalog Titles on Blu

[DFR]

Wonder Boys arrived from Amazon. Burned disc. Also, the cover art looks like it was cropped and cut by a child with scissors.

Wonder Boys arrived from Amazon. Burned disc.

DVD-R?!

[DFR]

Not pressed. I was surprised because the other recent Paramount discs I've picked up from Amazon (The Two Jakes, Atlantic City, etc.) were pressed.

[domino harvey]

I’m pretty sure a warning was issued about the December titles, that ordering them from Amazon meant BD-R. The universally pressed discs have a different MSRP. Also the lack of Blu-Ray logo tipped people off. Still waiting for DD to ship mine to confirm it’s pressed elsewhere online

Ladybugs (1992) also getting re-issued in February. Lionsgate released it in 2010 as part of a very small distribution of Paramount titles.

Just got my Blu-Ray of Wonder Boys in from DeepDiscount and can confirm that it is PRESSED

Thanks for confirming. I've ordered it from them now (backordered, but I've waited this long, so what's another month or so).

Amazing how this gets a Blu while Istvan Szabo's Sunshine(1999) is still only available on DVD.

Things must have changed fast, it's no longer backordered and listed as in stock at DD

More February releases:

Good Burger (1997)
John Hughes 5-Film Collection - Includes Pretty in Pink (1986), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987), and the BD debuts of Some Kind of Wonderful (1987) and She's Having a Baby (1988).

[soundchaser]

Can we take Ferris Bueller off the Forthcoming Criterions list now? I think it's clear in hindsight that the author of that interview made an interpretation error.

[CSM126]

Hopefully that Hughes det gets broken up sometime down the road - I’d love to get She’s Having a Baby on Blu but don’t really need the rest.

Lady Sings the Blues also coming in February (presumably to cash in on the new Billie Holiday movie)

As the old new game in town, Paramount is now re-releasing the Mirimax films fast and furiously. The last couple of days many of the titles are hitting the preorder lists.

She's the Man (2006) on 3/2/21

[Ribs]

Paramount will in April be releasing UHDs of My Fair Lady and a tenth anniversary (where has the time gone?) edition of Super 8.

The Saint with Val Kilmer is coming to Blu-ray later this year

[Brian C]

I saw The Saint theatrically, but instead of remembering anything about the movie itself, I only remember Entertainment Weekly’s F grade.

[therewillbeblus]

I used to get The Saint and Spartan mixed up when I was in high school (two Val Kilmer deception-thrillers that begin with S..) until I actually saw them. Now I remember literally nothing about The Saint, while Spartan remains as one of a small group of films sticking out slightly from my closest shelf to signal its status as a go-to movie for a bad day. Where's that film's U.S. blu-ray release?

Other releases listed at some retailers as coming soon are:

Bad News Bears (2005)
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005)
The Last Castle (2001)

[domino harvey]

Is the first title released from Imprint to show up stateside from Paramount?

[swo17]

I believe so, unless you count Criterion licensing War of the Worlds from them

[Ribs]

The Greatest Show on Earth coming via Presents in March.
