Our good friends at The Digital Bits have posted an update on its Rumor
Mill section regarding BD titles that are expected for the rest of 2009, as
well as movies that have been bumped into 2010 or later. Sadly, it seems
that some major titles have definitely fallen off the 2009 slate, such as the
Alien and Indiana Jones collections.
Here is the updated list of titles that are tentatively slated for 2009:
New Line: Boogie Nights, The Green Mile, The Lord of the Rings
Trilogy (theatrical editions), Magnolia
Paramount/Dreamworks: Braveheart, Forrest Gump, Galaxy
Quest, Gladiator: Extended Edition, It's a Wonderful Life, South Park:
Bigger, Longer, Uncut, Star Trek: The Next Generation Motion Picture

Warner: Gone with the Wind, Heat, North by Northwest
The 2010 schedule now includes the following titles:

Nemo,

2010)

Note: with regard to 'Monsters, Inc.', our own contacts have confirmed to
us that the title is still in schedule for the fourth quarter of 2009.
As always, all of the above is to be considered as unofficial until a studio
makes an announcement.
