Eric Doctorow, General Manager of MGM Worldwide, revealed in an interview for Home Media Magazine that the studio is currently preparing “the entire Rocky collection” for Blu-ray in time for the holidays. So far only the first and the last Rocky films ('Rocky' and 'Rocky Balboa') have been released on Blu-ray.
Doctorow also mentioned that the studio will release other “cool releases,” such as a 40th anniversary edition of 'Hair,' and a 30th anniversary edition of 'Mad Max,' and “a couple of 'Stargate' surprises.” Hopefully all those releases will street on Blu-ray as well as DVD.
The MGM exec also said he was “very confident” that Blu-ray would triumph, and he stated, “Blu-ray is a wonderful format and plays right into our culture's obsession with quality and all things high def.”
