Saving Private Ryan has a ton of intense audio moments. However, the recent Sapphire Series might be causing some really intense moments -- and they aren't within the movie.
Paramount just announced a recall for the the Sapphire Series Blu-ray edition of Saving Private Ryan, which was released on May 4, 2010. The recall will effect North America, the United Kingdom and the Benelux countries. Apparently, the Technicolor authoring process caused an audio synch error.
"Technicolor has been/ a valuable partner to Paramount Home Entertainment, and both Paramount and Technicolor are committed to providing the highest quality product to consumers," said Dennis Maguire, President, Paramount Pictures Home Entertainment Worldwide. "Our Sapphire Series was created to present our greatest films with the finest picture and sound quality available. Saving Private Ryan is afive-time Academy Award winning film including Best Director from one of America's most acclaimed filmmakers so we are recalling this edition to ensure that every Blu-ray disc honors Steven Spielberg's vision."
