'Beowulf - Director's Cut' Announced for HD DVD

Paramount Home Entertainment has just announced that Beowulf - Director's Cut will be available to own in high-definition exclusively on HD DVD, come February 29 (day-and-date with the DVD), for $39.99 SRP a copy.

We know that this title will not be an HD DVD-exclusive in some other countries and it has come to our attention that the HD DVD release in other countries will not have picture-in-picture track and web-enabled features.

Therefore, if you've come to appreciate the enhanced and advanced home entertainment experience - picture-in-picture track and web-enabled features - that the HD DVD format now offers, we recommend that you get this North American HD DVD release from Paramount (Since there's no region coding being established for HD DVD yet, the disc will remain playable in the future since it isn't region coded at the time of pressing.)

Main feature will be presented in

-1080p High-Definition Widescreen 2.35:1
-Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (English)
-Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 (English, French & Spanish)
-English [SDH], French & Spanish subtitle options.

-Feature-length Picture-in-Picture track
-A Hero's Journey: The Making of Beowulf with optional pop-up trivia
-Web Enabled - Beowulf Profiler
-Additional Scenes
-Documentary plus lots of featurettes covering almost all aspects of the story and movie, from pre-production to post-production.

HD-DVD news updates ...

Universal: "No Plans" to Abandon HD DVD

Fending off continued speculation that Universal is mulling a switch from HD DVD-exclusivity, Universal Studios VP (and HD DVD Promo Group Co-Chair) Ken Graffeo says that the studio has no plans to make any changes in its high-def strategy.

In a just-published interview with BetaNews.com, Graffeo termed reports that Universal is wavering in its support of HD DVD as "unsubstantiated," saying the studio has "no plans to make any changes."



Graffeo went on to point to Universal's recent announcement of 'American Gangster' on HD DVD as proof of its continued commitment to HD DVD, promising "a lot of other things" to come.

Asked whether he regretted the eleventh hour cancelation of the HD DVD Promo Group's CES press conference (a move that some interpreted at the time as a white flag from the group), Graffeo said the timing of Warner's surprise Blu-ray exclusivity announcement two days before left the group with little choice.

"Imagine the orchestration of a press event with the presenters, the scripts, the entire presentation, videos that were produced," explained Graffeo. "The crew was already setting up and we were on a plane on Friday, so not being able to get back to everyone to say 'how do we make a change for Sunday' was very difficult. And what are the answers? We had no idea because we were reading and hearing about Warner's move the same time everyone else was."
