Warner Brothers Home Entertainment has announced that they will be releasing two classic Elvis Presley films on September 18th. 'Jailhouse Rock' and 'Viva Las Vegas' will both come on BD-25s, sporting VC-1 video encodes and Dolby Digital soundtracks. These represent some of the oldest films ever to be delivered in high definition, so it will be interesting to see how Warner does with their remastering techniques. SRP has been set at $28.99 for both.
Jailhouse Rock: In one of his best-loved films, Elvis Presley stars as a small-time convict who uses his time in prison to practice music, then goes on to become a big-time performer. Co-stars Judy Tyler and Dean Jones.
Viva Las Vegas: Elvis Presley and vivacious Ann-Margret sizzle in this dazzling funfest that's brimming with high-voltage musical numbers, roaring race cars and glittery Vegas action.
