Dreamworks studio Drops High definnition for the short term


29/02/2008 DreamWorks announced Thursday that it will end its support for the HD DVD high-definition format and will not release its Bee Movie in the format on March 11 as originally scheduled. Meanwhile, a Paramount spokesman has told the website High-Def Disc News that next week's releases of Into the Wild and Things We Lost in the Fire will be the studio's final ones in the format. It canceled its April 1 release of Sweeney Todd and its April 15 release of There Will Be Blood, but they did not indicate when or even if those titles will be issued in the Blu-ray format.

Sounds like Paramount is having second thoughts as to what it wants to do.
Its a shame because an animated movie like "Bee movie" would benefit greatly being out in High definition. I had to settle for the SD version because of this.
