'Alien' Quadrilogy on Blu-Ray. GIMME!

[Legion2213]

From Blu-ray.com... More Details of Alien Anthology Blu-ray Surface German site Bluray-disc.de has received an advance review copy of Minority Report (which is distributed in Europe by 20th Century Fox) to find that it opens with a short teaser for the upcoming Blu-ray edition of the Alien Anthology. After the extended tagline "In space no one can hear you scream – but on Blu-ray they can," it is revealed that the Anthology will consist of the movies Alien, Aliens, Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection. Additionally, according to the print edition of the UK movie magazine Empire, this release is being produced by Charles De Lauzirika, who is behind the BD releases of most of the movies directed by Sir Ridley Scott, including the monumental five-disc Blade Runner. De Lauzirika said that, while the Quadrilogy DVD was already very comprehensive, this Anthology Blu-ray set will blow it out of the water, with new extras and commentaries. Also, a new sound mix has been done for the extended edition of Alien 3, which involved bringing back some of the cast to reloop their dialogue. Could be one of the best BD releases of 2010.

oh man. I'm foaming at the mouth for this. Sounds well worth the double dip. You ever see that new cut of 3, Lou?

I have it, but I haven't watched it yet - probably will this weekend. My schedule is so hectic I haven't had time to scratch my ass much less watch a movie. Did I say that out loud? I'll post once I've watched it. I am really interested to see how much different/better this is gonna be. We shall see.

Great news....they dropped the bullshit "Quadrilogy" title. It is now the Alien Anthology. Packaging and details can be found here.(a bit past halfway down the page) The collector's egg edition is probably a purchase for me.

[Legion2213]

They've messed up the Egg IMO. It should be the original egg, not some alien morphing into it. I would've been willing to pay a premium price for a replica egg, but not with the added alien...I mean it's not even a face hugger, it's a fully grown alien! Fortunatley, both the black and white box sets look nice, I'll grab one of those.

It's just a cool case, man. I don't think they were going for 100% screen accurate. And why finish off the alien body if it's going to be the back of the case anyway? Just have it go into the egg and it cuts down costs for them and then in turn, for us.

of course you did.

Well, I personally hope they do take their time releasing this and other flicks. There is nothing worse than waiting for a HD release of a movie just to find out the jackasses at the studios used a crappy source Sure there is: waiting a loooooong time for a HD release of a movie just to find out the jackasses at the studios used a crappy source. Studios care little about being prompt when it comes to jackassedness. EDIT: This is cool as all hell. Fox's ALIEN Comicon set-up
