Happy Mother's Day to Marisa, Scarlett, and Your Little Dog, Too!
Disc News Update 05.10

We have a couple updates for  you for two of the most highly-anticipated Blu-ray Disc releases of the year: Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz (both from Warner). Both will arrive with 1080p transfers and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 sound mixes (as well as their original mono tracks... hopefully the original mono tracks will be presented losslessly too... are you listening Warner???), but that's still all we know. These are uber-frills-box-sets, hence the higher pricing (similar to Warner's BD release of Casa Blanca). Hopefully Warner will also provide some "regular" Blu-ray Disc versions with standard pricing as well. Release date is not yet confirmed but we believe it to be soon; we'll update when we know! Both carry an SRP of $84.99.
