NASA Vintage Film Footage Restored for Hi-Def Broadcast and Blu-ray Disc Sales


The Discovery Channel is turning to the power of high definition to bring us restored NASA footage in all of its non-grainy glory. In a multi-part mini-series, set to debut in June, the Discovery Channel will debut When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions.
The footage being shown in the series will detail NASA's first 50 years of space exploration. The documentary, being produced in part to celebrate NASA's 50th anniversary year, will showcase footage from NASA's "secret film vaults" and with the help of Discovery be transfered to high definition for the first time.

The Discovery Channel is also selling DVDs of the documentary $69.95 and making a Blu-ray version available for $79.95.
Highlights include the early days of the Mercury program to put a man in space, the moon landings and the first un-tethered space walk by Bruce McCandless. The documentary was produced for Discovery by Dangerous Films and includes Bill Howard and Richard Dale as executive producers.

Already available in Europe, Sony will bring 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' to this side of the pond. Video will be presented in 2.35:1 1080p and accompanied by a 5.1 lossless English soundtrack.

Also coming that day will be 'Urban Legend'. Video will be presented as 2.40:1 1080p AVC accompanied by a 5.1 English TrueHD soundtrack. No special features have been announced at this time, but many are expected to be ported from the DVD release.

Additionally, Sony will bring the two "I Know What You Did" films to Blu-ray on the same day. Both 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' and 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer' will be presented in 2.40:1 1080p AVC video accompanied by a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD soundtrack. The only extra announced for the first film is audio commentary with the director, while the second film in the series gets a making-of featurette and the Jennifer Love-Hewitt music video for "How Do I Deal". More extras are expected for both releases, with more information coming as the release date approaches.

Fox has announced updated details for the Blu-ray release of 'Jumper,' which will now add D-Box to its extras menu.
As previously reported, Fox has set a June 10 street date for the Hayden Christensen teleportation thriller (day-and-date with the standard DVD), and unveiled a complete line-up of specs with hours of extras.

D-Box combines real-life motion control of your home theater seating in sync with the on-screen action, and Fox will now enhance the 'Jumper' Blu-ray to deliver plenty of rumble during the film's famed teleportation and other action scenes.
Previously-announced supplements on the Blu-ray will feature audio commentary (with director Doug Liman, writer-producer Simon Kinberg and producer Lucas Foster), four featurettes ("Jumping From Novel To Film: The Past, Present & Future of Jumper," "Making an Actor Jump," "Doug Liman's Jumper: Uncensored," "Jumping Around The World"), six deleted scenes, "Future Concepts" pre-visuzalizations, and the animated graphic novel "Jumpstart: David's Story."
Exclusive to the Blu-ray will be the picture-in-picture feature "Jumping Around the World," which will make full use of the Blu-ray format's Profile 1.1 capabilities (a Profile 1.1-enabled player required).

Universal has announced full specs for the Blu-ray release of 'The Mummy Returns ,' which the studio will launch this July with exclusive U-Control content.
As we first reported last month, Universal announced their premiere line-up of Blu-ray releases for this Summer, jump-started by a July 22 bow for the blockbuster sequel 'The Mummy Returns.'

The newly-unveiled tech specs boast a BD-50 dual-layer disc with 1080p video (no codec specified) and DTS-HD Lossless Master Audio 5.1 Surround audio.
Extras will equal the previous HD DVD release, including audio commentary with director Stephen Sommers and co-producer Bob Ducsay, a quartet of featurettes ("Visual and Special Effects Formation," "An Army to Rule the World Part 2," "Spotlight and On Location of the Mummy," "Unraveling the Legacy of the Mummy"), deleted scenes, and an interview with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Exclusive to the Blu-ray is a U-Control picture-in-picture track offering behind-the-scenes footage and filmmaker interviews.
Universal has not yet confirmed a suggested list price for 'The Mummy,' but we'll keep you posted.

Boy do I hope their inside info is right.

Transformers DVD news: Hasbro Answers Questions About the Sunbow Acquisition | TVShowsOnDVD.com


We hope it's not AstroTrain, of course! But it probably makes sense that we should, at the very least, expect Transformers and G.I. Joe classic releases to come out on DVD in time to tie in with upcoming new theatrical films of those properties, which hit the box office in 2009. We've gotten advanced, inside word (you heard it here first!) that the 2007 Transformers live-action film with Shia LaBeouf will be coming to Blu-ray Disc on September 2nd, in a 2-Disc Special Edition (similar to last year's HD DVD version)...but its doubtful that Hasbro would be ready with their first "G1" Transformers cartoon release on DVD by that time, to tie in with that release. You never know, though! Stay tuned for new reports, as developments occur.
