Looks like Warner is messing up another BD Release. Elf will only be on a BD25 and most of the (excellent) supplements from the Infinifilm DVD are being dropped (including a great one hour documentary)...

This film deserves better and they could have cross promoted with Iron Man since Favreau directed..

Sigh...

Iron Man is from a different studio, unlikely to have cross-promotion on two titles being released by different studios a month apart.

If the movie looks good and sounds good, and does so with a BD25 then no harm. Just because it is a BD25 doesn't mean it is bad.

agreed. it's a comedy, so mostly dialog. so, the audio shouldn't be taking up much space. i think it could turn out fine.

I'm talking about the supplements. some people on these forums do like interesting documentaries, etc.

BD25 is the culprit in losing these things...

depooter

I said could....much like what Daredevil is doing by at least mentioning Iron Man on a sticker for the BD release (as silly as that is)...

kpkelley

I just said it was unlikely. Besides Favreau doesn't quite have the cache yet.

Great another hate warner thread

I'm not one to limit myself to just "fine". I want the best possible presentation for all my movies on Blu-ray. Why wait for a double dip?

PowellPressburger

BD 25 is enough room for the film to have great picture and still carry 1-2 hours of bonus material those aren't ever high quality even on standard def either... so that is plenty of room.

A film of that length should only use say 17-20 so that leaves plenty for the extras.

Its a comedy, and as such doesnt have the action that would require huge bitrates. BD25 should be more than enough.

That's for the double dip a few years from now.

Wooh! I'm just excited that we get this movie in blu

Marine Mike

Have you ever seen this movie before?

What kind of documentary would you expect them to include?

"Inside the Mind of Will Ferrell"
or
"What is Christmas All About?"
or
"Elf: Fact or Fiction?"

DetroitSportsFan

He's talking about the documentary that's on the DVD.

Marine Mike

Ahhh okay.

Well if he already owns the DVD, whats the point then? The Blu-Ray supplements probably wouldn't be in HD anyway. Granted some are, but the majority of the releases aren't having them in HD.

New line film's their extras in HD so yes they would have been in HD.

Why can you understand the catalog titles being "lossy"?
