Posted July 19, 2007 08:19 AM by Josh Dreuth
Entertainment in Video (UK) has announced that they will be releasing their first wave of Blu-ray titles on August 13th. Their first seven releases feature three titles already on Blu-ray in the US ('The Departed', 'Phantom of the Opera', and 'Million Dollar Baby'), two HD DVD exclusive titles in the US ('Brokeback Mountain' and 'Lucky Number Slevin') and two titles eagerly awaited for by Blu-ray fans ('Gangs of New York' and 'The Crow').
No specs have been given at this time, but expect a 1080p transfer. Word is that these titles will all be coded Region B, so US fans will have to wait a little while longer. See below for the extra content provided on each title.
