Paramount Pictures Plays Both Sides of the Fence


Good news for Blu-ray Star Trek fans. Paramount will release movies in both next generation high definition disk formats HD DVD and Blu-ray. Coming this October 30th is the high def disk version of Mission Impossible III with Tom (I know the history of psychology) Cruise – no, he’ll never live that one down. I’ve never seen the movie but word is it’s not such a bad action spy thriller if you can get past the last two. It has Philip Seymour Hoffman so it can’t be all bad. MI-iii will be simultaneously released in both HD DVD and Blu-ray. In fact Paramount makes it possible to get your Mission’ on in a big way with the Ultimate Missions Collection which consists of all three Mission Impossible films and you can choose from either HD DVD or Blu-ray.
Originally Paramount had backed the HD DVD format along with Warner and Universal but got cold feet about being exclusively HD DVD when Sony announced that PS3 would include a Blu-ray disk player. So, instead of switching to the other side Paramount decided to simply start releasing movies in both formats. It appears the very next simultaneous HD DVD / Blu-ray release by Paramount will be Warren Bettie’s proletarian uprising picture “Reds”. It’s fitting that Reds should give the power to the people to decide which format they wish to choose.

Not really. Warner release several titles in Blu-ray last August that it had previously released in HD DVD. For Corpse Bride, Warner released in Blu-ray first, followed by a few weeks later releasing it in HD DVD.

Corrected. But it's still good news for trek BD fans
