    Criterion Goes BluRay

    DVD enthuiasts who subscribe to the Criterion Collection's newsletter got a welcome piece of news this evening. The label is planning on releasing titles in the high definition BluRay format starting in October.

    Here's the news, cut and pasted directly from the horse's mouth.
    We’ve picked a little over a dozen titles from the collection for Blu-ray treatment, and we’ll begin rolling them out in October. These new editions will feature glorious high-definition picture and sound, all the supplemental content of the DVD releases, and they will be priced to match our standard-def editions.

    Here’s what’s in the pipeline:

    The Third Man
    Bottle Rocket
    Chungking Express
    The Man Who Fell to Earth
    The Last Emperor
    El Norte
    The 400 Blows
    Gimme Shelter
    The Complete Monterey Pop
    Contempt
    Walkabout
    For All Mankind
    The Wages of Fear


    Alongside our DVD and Blu-ray box sets of The Last Emperor, we’ll also be putting out the theatrical version as a stand-alone release in both formats, priced at $39.95. Our Blu-ray release of Walkabout will be an all-new edition, featuring new supplements as well as a new transfer; we will also release an updated anamorphic DVD of Nicolas Roeg’s outback masterpiece at the same time.
