The Sean Penn-directed drama “Into the Wild” will be released on HD DVD on March 4.
Just days after the announcement that “Bee Movie” would be DreamWorks’ next big HD DVD release, that deal is done—as in, it ain’t happening.
Both DreamWorks and Paramount have just announced (via Video Business) that they are done with the defunct format.
The final HD DVD titles for Paramount will be “Into the Wild” and “Things We Lost in the Fire,” which will be released on March 4. However, there will be no “Bee Movie” (which was scheduled for March 11) and no “Sweeny Todd” (April 1). For now, both titles will only come as standard DVD releases.
As previously announced, “There Will Be Blood” will also only be available on standard DVD, starting April 8.
Neither studio has announced its first Blu-ray titles.
Well I guess the companies don´t think they have any obligations to the HD DVD people who bought it, just to be fuc… in tha as. by the moviecompanies leaving the shipping ship like RATS.
Low low moral is all I can think of.
Looks like they are trying to get people to buy the SD disks and then later anounce the BR version.
Unless as Peter Smith said that they would be breaking their contract by producing BR. Maybe this is Toshiba’s way of getting back at Blu or They are trying to hold out till Tosh makes their Blu player.
All speculation of course..
I was done with buying DVD the day I bought a PS3. I’m holding out for Blu-rays of my collection to upgrade. Please, oh please give me the Indiana Jones trilogy, Star Wars trilogy, James Bond boxes, and Lawrence of Arabia on Blu-ray. :-)
So they are not as absent-minded as I thought.
Now, where’s Transformers BD.

A History of TV Remote Controls
It’s hard to imagine life without remote controls, but it’s been a long, strange path to the modern incarnation we know and love today.
Seems like a pretty stupid thing to do on their part considering that the number one selling high def movie right now is American Gangster which is HDDVD. Why not go ahead and get sales from the HDDVD population that exists? Apparently, they are still willing to buy for their format when there’s a movie worth buying.
