A few tidbits before we get started with this week’s releases begin with news Howard’s End is the film that won the Amazon.com online voting to become one of Criterion’s next Blu-ray releases. A release date has not yet been announced, but a preorder has been made available at Amazon.
Next, I previously listed The Soloist for DVD and Blu-ray from Paramount Home Entertainment, but have since been asked to remove the August 4 release date as it was apparently mistakenly added to the official release schedule. I will have an update once Paramount revises their schedule.
Finally, Deadline Hollywood is reporting The Weinstein Company’s recent financial troubles have caused the studio to relinquish the DVD and Blu-ray rights to Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds with co-distributor Universal Pictures now set to step in. And now, on with this week’s releases…
