We learned of some very interesting news that has me jumping for joy. We discovered that Fox Home Entertainment is currently working on brand new Blu-ray releases for Alien, Aliens and Alien 3. Each film is said to be released in a new special edition set with brand new special features made just for these releases! The only concern I have is Fox's lackluster Blu-ray releases, where the quality looks like a simple up-convert as opposed to a brand new transfer (see Predator, Commando, Donnie Darko and numerous others). No release date has been set, but I'm praying we see this before year's end.
I will slaughter someone at Fox if these transfers are bullshit, they better look damn good to make me upgrade from my Quadrilogy set! I think no matter what they do Aliens will look grimey just because of the film stock used.
i only like the first movie but i like it so much that i would invest in a blu-ray deck to see a really great transfer. oh, and it would have to have the theatrical and directors cut versions on the disc or no sale from kandyman. KM
fox actually did an awesome job with the original Planet of the Apes movies on BD. all five movies look absolutely pristine, so i have faith that the Alien series will look superb as well.
