Paramount Gives Blu-Ray Cloverfield Date

Paramount gives Blu-Ray date for CloverfieldFinally we can all stop our complaining, hemming, and hawing because Paramount has announced its initial Blu-Ray lineup, and of course Cloverfield is on it.

Following The Spiderwick Chronicles, Face/Off and Next, the Blu-Ray edition of Cloverfield will land in stores on June 3rd. New to the disc will be the feature-length “Special Investigation Mode” with “added details about the film”, whatever that means.

Commentaries, making-ofs, deleted scenes, and alternate endings will also be included; Blu-Ray’s got a lot of space to fill so I hope they make this worth the double dip that I’m sure it’ll be to most of us!

We’ll get you art as soon as we can; stay tuned!

I bought the standard DVD, sure. Patience was not an issue. If they announced the Blu-Ray release the same time as the standard and they were both available to own the same day I would hav gotten the standard DVD anyway.

I said in the earlier news story about the initial announcement of DVD release the same thing MM said - for a movie made to look like shit, why am I going to spend more $$ to see crap quality in hi-def? I'm not.

As Kryten said, it's annoying that they did not announce the date when they announced the other. It's a shify practice...as when there was no Blu-Ray release dates stated fo The Mist or There Will Be Blood. You know they are coming out, but no date has been issued yet, none that I am aware of.

It's a BS double dipping shenanigan.

Heh. I find it hilarious that a film made to intentionally look like an amateur video is being released on Blu-Ray. Kinda defeats the point, no?

I didn't buy the DVD, so patience isn't the issue. It's the fact that Paramount didn't bother to announce the blu-ray edition until afterwards.

Really? Did you guys not think that a BD edition wasn't coming out? And you didn't have the patience to wait and see, since Paramount hadn't announced ANY BD releases? Jesus...
