Michael Bay Release List on HD Formats

[Mobe1969]

I'm just compiling a list of Michael Bay titles in HD, which regions, etc. Thought it might be useful.

Bad Boys
- Not yet available in HD. A Sony picture so would be Blu Ray when released

The Rock
- Available Blu Ray Region A US on Jan 8. Unsure of region status
- Available Blu Ray Region B UK. Will play on Region A players
- Available Blu Ray Region B Australia. Will play on Region A players
- Available Blu Ray in Germany. Region status unknown.

Armageddon
- Not yet available in HD. Disney/Touchstone, so I think this means Blu Ray

Pearl Harbor (theatrical cut)
- Available Blu Ray Region B UK. Will play on Region A players
- Available Blu Ray Region A US. Will play on Region B players
- Available Blu Ray in Germany. Region status unknown.

Pearl Harbor (Director's cut)
- Not Available on HD

Bad Boys II
- Not yet available in HD. A Sony picture so would be Blu Ray when released

The Island
- Available Blu Ray Region B UK. Will play on Region A players
- Available HD DVD UK. Not region locked

Moved to the Michael Bay forum.

I wish we had Transformers on Blu-ray, then it would be a clean sweep.

The more often I watch Transformers on DVD the more I miss it on Blu Ray.
The time will come. Definetely. The studio can't live without the income of a Blu Ray release.

BTW: Looking forward for Armageddon and Bad Boys on Blu Ray.

Yea, i want The Rock and the BB films on blu-ray the most. I can live without Trans on b-r, since the ps3 i will get will upconvert, i can live with the DVD release i have. Armageddon will be cool, hope its the Director's Cut Criterion edition.

[Mobe1969]

Yeah, you are right about it nearly being a Blu Ray clean sweep. When I went through all of his films, I realised that Transformers (and T2 eventually) will be the only one that will ever be released on HDDVD.

I checked the HDDigest forums, and someone there confirmed Pearl Harbor is the Theatrical cut. Which is a shame.

[MR BLU]

By the time TF 2 comes out, Blu-ray will have won and they will release a Transformers 1 & 2 bundle set :D

[Mobe1969]

Just an update. The Island is actually available in HD DVD in the UK also.

Cheers.

Just an update after going thru the German Blu Ray releases.

Germany has a few (non-Bay) listed I've not see elsewhere:
- Room 1408
- Planet Terror
- Death Proof

Weenstein films in the US, so currently on hold and nauseum..

and someone there confirmed Pearl Harbor is the Theatrical cut. Which is a shame.

but is Armageddon the director's cut criterion release? i'd think so since the Rock release is identical to the Crit. release

Armageddon isn't out anywhere yet. I hope it is the DC too though. Good point about The Rock meaning it should be the same ed at the critereon.

I was just on a thread on the HD forums with people asking about Armageddon.
