I got the below email from Entertainment Store last night after enquiring about what they had lined up and it seems to be a clue pointing towards a forthcoming release. Really cool way of dropping details about their releases and hopefully this one comes out next!!

Fingers crossed! I assume it's Forbidden Planet from that pic. If anyone has any other guesses then shout

Any news on whether this will be an Arrow or Eureka release? Seems like the sort of film that they would release.

Has the film received any special restoration for the Blu-Ray release, or are they just transferring the Dvd version to Blu-Ray just for the hell of it?

This is a classic film and needs a restoration done before transferring it to blu ray.

1956 Sci Fi classic.

Edit : 2010 released on Blu Ray...

It's a Warner release I think

[Killian Faust]

It's a Warner release I think

Yeah, it was released a couple of years ago...got it for Christmas that year. Waited a long time for a blu-ray release, couldn't even find it on DVD, had an old VHS copy.

 

[adrenaline78]

I bet it will be after earth.. or whatever that M.Night movie is.


nevermind. I didn't see "CLASSIC" ..

 

[mattyt2k11]

By looking at that picture it could world war z just a thought as they have had paramount steelbooks recently

But you don't know the price yet so why be so quick to make that decision?

I can't work out if you are bitter with Zavvi or ES from your comment

Not bitter with anyone, if my post had been left alone and not tampered with it couldn't have been more clear.

I said that ES have obviously caught a cold with their recent batch of so-called "Exclusive" releases and as a result have had to rethink their marketing strategy and pricing structure. They have seen what Zavvi have been doing, i.e releasing catalogue titles and thought they would jump on the bandwagon. What's good for the Goose is good for the Gander and all that.

It seems to me that anyone who doesn't follow the crowd or who comments negatively about ES & their so called "exclusive" releases have their posts edited, deleted or get called a "hater", which is nothing more than a pathetic cop out used by people who have nothing valid or intelligent to respond with.

So much for freedom of speech :movie:

2 pages of nothing really as nothing has been confirmed and nothing is up for pre order

 

[Sage the Owl]

im glad im not the only one.

I'd much rather Disneys Treasure Planet but thats a very low possibility.

I can't believe that you haven't heard of this film, it's one of the few movies that deserves the title of classic.
Ignore the poster art of Robbie with Anne Francis in his arms, it makes it look like a cheap "creature feature" when it in fact has a very good & mature storyline based on Shakespeare's "The Tempest".
The VFX still hold up today, with the scene of the "ID" monster attempting to break through the ship's forcefield being a hi-light.

 

[Shayid]

O yeah the classic with a very young Leslie Nielsen before his classic airplane and naked gun films

 

[Strikeman]

I've heard of it but never seen it. Whenever I think Forbidden Planet, I think of the London shop and not this movie

 

[Steeler]

I got the US tin (DVD edition), which looks great, even with a few dents. I'll probably stick with that one unless they come up with something really interesting. I try to stay away from ES exclusives

 

[digitalbabe]

I have the HD DVD Tin with cool extras Looking forward to this...checking into if this one is a go...stay tuned......

I have that set too, it was pretty cool, especially with the little Robby figure. Haven't had time to check to see if the movie still plays; the Warner releases are the ones giving everybody problems.

Might be a good time to switch over to a Blu Forbidden Planet...

 

[digitalbabe]

Yeah, bummer about Warner...one of my favorite sets! OT, but pic of that ed here

Loving the artwork on that tin!! Hoping for similar effects if this one comes into fruition too

 

[ausnew]

Ah, so that's what it looks like inside. Thanks DB

I still have mine sealed

That picture & embossing would be great on the steelbook

 

[digitalbabe]

Confirmed-it is coming-final artwork hopefully soon.

 

[bigducknfish]

Love the art, an original poster with this art went for a hefty sum on eBay not so long ago.
