Superman Returns Gets TrueHD Treatment

In an early announcement to retailers, Warner Home Video has revealed that they will re-release the Bryan Singer film 'Superman Returns' on September 9th with a Dolby TrueHD and PCM soundtracks. To the disappointment of fans, the original Blu-ray release featured only a Dolby Digital soundtrack while the HD DVD got the lossless audio track. Warner is now rectifying the situation with a proper Blu-ray release. Editions of 'Superman Returns' with the Dolby TrueHD soundtrack were originally made available in a limited quantity with the purchase of certain Pioneer Blu-ray players. Since that time, fans have been eagerly awaiting Warner to re-release the title with the upgraded soundtrack. No other specs are expected to change for the re-release. The release has been given a new UPC code.

Did they give a new UPC? I imagine TrueHD will be listed on the package too.

This movie further proved that you cant make a good superman movie. Not even Kevin Spacey could save it. Thankfully Batman is such a better character that when smart people make a movie about him it works. I cant wait for the Aquaman movie!!!!

It would have been better soundwave if they would have got tom welling (from smallville) to play clark kent.

It couldnt have been better even if they dug up Christopher Reeves and had a zombie superman.

Actually...zombie superman could have been pretty cool Anyway...not sure if this will be a purchase for me or not. Depends if I can get a good deal on it.

Hmmm I guess in two years I may be able to buy Speed Racer with HD True audio.. once they decide fans want it.

Wow...so...now...the..um...holy grail of Blu-rays....is just a Blu-ray. I never thought too much of it and frankly, it just sits on my shelf. At least we don't have to read anymore stories of people paying 80 bucks for the TrueHD version.

looks like I'll double dip on this title for the one with better audio... if it's cheap.

Anyone know if Warner will do exchanges like with Terminator 3?

Warner needs to re-release Happy Feet on Blu-Ray with TrueHD track, also.

ECWaenigma  » Aug 21, 2008
If they don't exchange, mine will be on eBay in a New York minute.

Finally! This movie has a great, aggressive soundtrack.

They also need to re-release The Last Samurai

SapGoblin  » Aug 21, 2008
They should also add the 'Director's Cut' with the touted krypton scene...at least then it's REALLY worth gettin an additional copy!!!

jimmybobo  » Aug 21, 2008
MI:3 could use a TrueHD as well.

Lets get one thing straight Warner is NOT rectifying the problem, they are double dipping. I will not rebuy this one as it sucked as a movie, sorry I got it the first time.
