Rocky Horror in HD!
 

Fox just announced the release of the Rocky Horror Picture Show on blu ray for sometime this year. More info hasnt been published yet. It's gonna be one of the movies released for Fox's 75th anniversary in 2010.

Gotta be interesting if they can make anything decent out of such old low-budget material...

There are some "surprises" in the Extra Features...just sayin!

Very cool :))

The picture quality will be a lot better than it's DVD release as it will be given a 1080p remaster, but I just hope people don't expect the picture quality to be at a standard of today's films. You will still get quite a bit of picture grain etc. When Ghostbusters was released some people felt let down of the picture quality, but there is only so much that can be done with old transfers. I quite enjoy picture grain in older films, gives it that real movie look. I wonder what they have in store for the HD audio, that should be quite cool for this release. :D

I hate, hate, hate to watch Rocky Horror on DVD...the "clean" picture drives me crazy. I mean, I saw it every freakin' week in glorious 35mm mono print glory. That is the way this movie is meant to be seen! Rocky Horror just is not Rocky Horror without missing frames and green squigglies in the print from place to place.

oh....my....god. im in love haaha

As I have been told...don't get too excited until you see it...

Late night showing with rice, water and mars bars flying!!!!!

according to the german online magazine bluray-disc.de the BD version of the RHPS will be released on nov 5, this year. It'll come in a so-called "Media Book" with sixteen pages of unpublished photos and an introduction by Lou Adler. (imagine it a bit like the HCTB book version.)

The disc is supposed to contain previously unseen footage, such as a karaoke-version of the whole(!) show and the 10th anniversary performance at the Beacon Theater in New York.

(now correct me if I'm wrong, but wasnt that the one with Meat performing Hot Patootie?)

Sorry but i cannot stand this film, tragic i know, but true, however i do like Meat singing Hot Patootie ! and loved hearing him sing it live in the US shows !

He performed it twice. The 15th Anniversary Convention is what is shown with like 30 seconds of footage (not too impressive):

but a small like 3 second clip of him at the 10th anniversary convention is seen also in the documentary on the 25th anniversary edition where he clearly looks like (and SOUNDS LIKE!!!!) he did in 1985.

So excited

that's exactly what I was thinking of!

sorry, forgot the link http://www.bluray-disc.de/news/filme...f-blu-ray-disc

Yep, for those whoa are confused, Watch the documentary. 28:37 it starts.

Heres a screenshot of Meat at the 10th Anniversary Thing for those who don't have it:

you can now watch a trailer for the Rocky Horror blu-ray release on play.com. Insterestingly, the list of special features still includes the point "Beacon Theater, New York City", so we might get the Loaf performing Hot Patootie in HD after all and it wasnt just a misprint...

I hope we WILL get the HP in HD.

Now .... how the feck can you convert a blu ray to mp3 lmao

so pumped!

I'd imagine the majority of special features will be in standard def, but it'd still be worth getting if it is indeed on there.

Message from Play.com:
:D

There will be portions of the BluRay people will hate.... I am warning you ahead of time....

So no meat performing HP? if thats true then....

TO THE PROMO PEOPLE: GET OUR HOPES UP AGAIN WHY DON'T YOU..... :(

Why do you say this dave? Im considering getting this...but would like to hear whats wrong with it before making such a purchase.

I have heard reports first hand from people who have previewed the BluRay that there are extensive issues with the color corrections - major flaw is the bed room scenes are no longer "color coded" red/blue. Another issue is the sound transfer. A lot of the audio will sound very different, and there are a few places in the movie where people are on one side of the screen with their talking coming out of the opposite speaker.

This is a brand new filmed International shadow cast feature. The founder of the RHPS conglomerate I am part of, UFO Productions, is the Riff Raff. He said it was an amazing experience being part of this production.

I have been told this is footage from the shadow cast production of the show - nothing new. Further, nothing new has been promised on this front. It has always been billed as "previously seen footage."
