HTF Chat Spills Beans on Upcoming Warner Titles

The Home Theater Forum held one of their annual chats with Warner Home Video earlier this week. As usual a number of interesting nuggets were unveiled, including:

• POLTERGEIST Special Edition - Coming for DVD, HD-DVD and Blu Ray later in 2007
• BLADE RUNNER Special Edition - Coming later in 2007, with the news that all versions will have the same content...great news for those looking forward to the HD-based editions!
• DARK SHADOWS Movies - Remastered, Restored and Coming Later This Year
• More Kubrick in High Definition (THE SHINING perhaps?) by year's end
  
• TWILIGHT ZONE-THE MOVIE - Finally out of the Zone and primed for release before Halloween, apparently. I wouldn't hold my breath on supplements for obvious reasons.
• GRUMPY OLD MEN, its sequel, and some Chevy Chase comedies (one would hope SPIES LIKE US and even FUNNY FARM, one of my favorites) all remastered in 16:9

Warner did not specifically talk about the future of HD-DVD and Blu Ray, or asked not to, as memory serves. There were also a good deal of titles put off for 2008 including GOODBYE MR. CHIPS.
