Rumor: The Abyss and More from Fox on Blu-ray in 2010

According to French site Les Numériques, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment is preparing a hefty list of titles for Blu-ray release in 2010. Apart from the obvious mention of the Alien quadrilogy, other interesting titles are in the slate, such as 'The Abyss' or 'The Sound of Music'. Steven Spielberg's 'Minority Report' and Sam Mendes' 'Road to Perdition' are set for May-June 2010, as previously reported (see blu-ray.com, November 13 and November 16). Also in June, Fox expects to release some westerns, such as 'The Magnificent Seven', 'Hang 'Em High' and 'For a Few Dollars More'. The second half of 2010 will reportedly see Blu-ray releases for James Cameron's 'The Abyss', Baz Luhrmann's 'Romeo+Juliet' and 'Moulin Rouge!', the 'Alien' quadrilogy/anthology and 'The Sound of Music' (which is being remastered in 4K).

What about 'Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines' that was supposed to come out before the end of 2009? Will that still be released?

THE ABYSS - hells yes!!!! It better include the "Under Pressure" making of, one of the best making of documentaries I've seen in years!! MINORITY REPORT - I thought that was Dreamworks?? I guess Fox owns the video rights. MOULIN ROUGE and ALIEN QUAD, another huge hells yes!!! Would be nice to see the words "STAR" and "WARS" on a news link sometime. Sigghhhhhhh....

Fox owns the overseas rights to Minority Report.

This would make me so happy as The Abyss is my favorite movie of all time. I've been waiting on an HD version since BD was first announced... Thanks Greg

The Abyss better be in anamorphic widescreen, or else I am not going to be impressed.

The Sound of Music will be truly epic on BD! Great list of stuff from Fox!

Alien Quad in the second half, sigh....even longer to try and not rewatch any of the DVDs

ripclaw, OF COURSE "The Abyss" will be anamorphic widescreen on Blu-ray. No offense, but duh. There are no un-anamorphic Blu-ray discs. Even the discs that have a full screen movie or TV show are 1:78:1 ratio with the pillar boxes built in. I CAN NOT WAIT for "The Abyss". I have resisted buying it because it would look screwed up on my HDTV. I'd have to zoom in. To have it HD widescreen on my big screen would be a dream. That movie is so underrated. The level of detail Cameron put in to that is astounding. Note to FOX- Seamless Branching of both versions please. And let's just release "The Abyss", "True Lies" (Which also needs an anamorphic release), and "Avatar" to Blu-ray on the same day!

Yes!!!!!!! The Abyss, finally! I really hope the aliens are done justice!

Minority Report, The Abyss, and Alien Quadrilogy for me....

Sound of Music in 4k! Awesome. The Abyss in HD! Awesome! Baz Luhrmann in HD? Spectacular, spectacular.

It must be the Directors Cut of The Abyss or no purchase from me.

Finally The Abyss in 16x9 widescreen. Why the DVD was never 16x9 is beyond me. Can't wait! 'Hang 'Em High' and 'For a Few Dollars More' Awesome!!!!

Nice!! The Abyss is great! and Clint Eastwood is a great overall actor, i'll pick up for a few dollars more!!

obriensg1, Um, in fact NO Blu-rays are anamorphic. Never have been, never will be...

Um, sounds bad that "Minority Report" is Fox distribution overseas -- does that mean no U.S. release for it next year? Spielberg supposedly "embraced" blu-ray -- where the heck are his movies? I am so hoping for Jurassic Park(s) before I die (unlike most of you young uns, that's a big concern for me :>)
