Both Alien vs Predator Movies See Blu-ray Release

Fox Home Entertainment has announced that they will release 'Alien vs Predator: Requiem' for Blu-ray on April 15th, day-and-date with the DVD release. Additionally, Fox will reissue the original 'Alien vs Predator' movie on the same day as a Unrated Collector's Edition release. Fans will have the choice of purchasing the films separately (for those who don't want to upgrade their existing 'Alien vs Predator' Blu-ray) or as a two-pack. 'Alien vs Predator: Requiem' will present both the rated and unrated versions of the film via seamless branching in 2.35:1 1080p AVC on a BD-50. Audio will come via a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track. Extras include audio commentaries, digital copy, five behind-the-scenes featurettes, and seven still design galleries. Exclusive to the Blu-ray release is the "Weyland-Yutani Archives" picture-in-picture reference guide which allows viewers access into the movie-based corporation's top-secret computer mainframe to discover information on all things Alien and Predator. This feature will require use of a BonusView player or PS3. Specs for 'Alien vs Predator Unrated Collector's Edition' have not been released at this time, but we do know that this film will feature the "Alien vs Predator vs You" game we reported during CES. We'll be sure to update this post when we receive the specs for this release.

Hmm, the current version is the unrated one anyway, is it not? I have it and I'm pretty sure it's unrated.

Cool 2.0 features on this disc! I'm glad they're selling them individually I'm not sure I want to buy the first one...depends on the price I suppose.

unless AVP gets a new transfer I will just stick with requiem

The first AVP is the 'rated unrated' version. The new AVP will be the 'unrated unrated' version. Ridiculous!

commence double dipping!

I'll buy the set

i don't mind the double dip as long as they upgrade the original release... i'm glad i didn't buy the first AVP... here's hoping they release it a maxed out AVC encode

Hope this comes out in the UK (the boxset) as I will have to purchase. Though Fox titles here are ridiculously expensive, the cheapest you get them online is around £24 ($40+). And as Fox seem to want to region code their discs I can't get them from the US, bugger!

Moefiz  » Feb 14, 2008

Thats great, didnt see Requiem yet, Liked AVP. I want the Quadrilogy on Blu now!!....

mechagrover  » Feb 14, 2008
One of the reasons I've kept my AvP DVD is because it has a ton of extras that weren't on the blu-ray, so I'll be glad to double dip on this title, even if it's not the best film in the series.

I'll get the two pack , glad I held out:) Great news!

nathanp  » Feb 14, 2008
If the A/V reviews are 4.5 plus on each, I'll be getting it too.

little_boy_blu  » Feb 14, 2008
Cool! .. how about the earlier titles please!

owa  » Feb 14, 2008
Like someone else already said, if AvP gets a new transfer I'll double-dip on that one, otherwise I'll just be picking up AvP: Requiem. Anyway, great news. Looking forward to seeing Requiem since I missed it in the theater and it's great that they're providing both rated/unrated versions with seamless branching. Should satisfy everyone that way.
