Specs and a New Street Date For 'Queen Rock Montreal' Blu-ray, HD DVD
Mon Oct 22, 2007 at 09:00 AM ETTags: Disc Announcements, Music on High-Def, Eagle Vision (all tags)
Fans will have to wait a couple more weeks than originally anticipated for the dual-format release of 'Queen Rock Montreal & Live Aid,' but recently-released specs reveal an array of previously-unannounced extras.
As we first reported back in August, the next-gen debut of 'Queen Rock Montreal & Live Aid' had been expected to arrive on Blu-ray and HD DVD on November 20 (three weeks after a new two-disc DVD re-issue). But due to what indie distributor Eagle Vision is calling "production delays," both high-def versions have now been pushed back an additional two weeks to December 4.
There is a silver lining for fans of the legendary rock band, however, as Eagle Vision has confirmed an extensive supplemental package for the upcoming release. In addition to featuring newly remastered versions of the band's full Montreal concert and their seven-song 1985 Live Aid performance, both next-gen releases will also include a first-ever audio commentary by Brian May and Roger Taylor, newly-unearthed performance footage of Queen rehearsing for Live Aid, a previously unreleased band interview, additional media coverage of the event, and a "Before & After" restoration comparison .
Full audio and video remain TBA, but we'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, you'll find the latest disc details for 'Queen Rock Montreal' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule and HD DVD Release Schedule, where it is indexed under its new date of December 4.

Alice Cooper Scares Up First Blu-ray Release
Fri Nov 03, 2006 at 02:52 PM ETTags: Disc Announcements, Music, Eagle Vision (all tags)
Few would call the music of Alice Cooper "quiet," but that's just how the shock rocker's first-ever high-def concert film hit stores this week, with Eagle Rock Entertainment's Blu-ray release creeping into stores this past Tuesday.
With little fanfare -- in fact, we never even got a press release -- 'Alice Cooper: Live in Montreux 2005' hit stores on Halloween.
Priced at $24.99, specs include a 1.78:1 widescreen 1080p video transfer and three audio options: Dolby Digital, DTS and uncompressed PCM 5.1 surround tracks. There seems to be no supplements on the release, however.
Despite the late details on 'Live in Montreux,' we hope to have a full review for you soon, and will also keep you posted on upcoming Eagle Rock releases. We just hope future announcements are a bit more high profile.
We've also added a complete listing for the title to our Blu-ray Release Schedule.
Eagle Rock Unveils First Triple-Format Music Release
Thu Aug 17, 2006 at 02:25 PM ETTags: Disc Announcements, Music, Eagle Vision (all tags)
Beating Paramount's 'Mission: Impossible III' to the punch, Eagle Rock
Entertainment will orchestrate the industry's first "trifecta" cross-format
release this Fall.
When the 2005 concert film 'The Pat Metheny Group: The Way Up' hits stores on October 3, it will bow simultaneously on Blu-ray, HD DVD and DVD -- a good four weeks before Paramount mounts a similar multi-format bow for 'Mission: Impossible III.'
Though technical details for the HD DVD and Blu-ray editions of 'The Way Up' are not yet available, extras will be identical on both versions including a making-of featurette and artist biographies.
Retail for both the Blu-ray and HD DVD will be $24.98 each.
The latest details for both versions have been added to our HD DVD Release Schedule and Blu-ray Release Schedule. Stay tuned for final specs as soon as they are officially announced.
