To keep on topic will the Dawn Blu ray have a high def audio track?

The theatrical cut will come with LPCM Stereo... and DTS HD

[Pete]

Arrows current dvd of Dawn promises DTS but its not on the disc.

[Almar@Cult Labs]

Hm - dunno what happened there - before my time but the Blu-ray will have DTS HD - I want it!

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

Any idea when we might find out any plans for the reverse artwork almar?

[Almar@Cult Labs]

That's my favourite smilie!

Very soon I hope - maybe next week - still working on Rick's painting which he is sweating bullets over bless him.

[Pete]

It doesnt help when you keep him chained up and are constanly whipping him 'get to work Rick! SMACK!

[Almar@Cult Labs]

You might have a point about the chains - maybe if I loosen them a bit...

[vincenzo]

He may seek revenge. Best keep him away from sharp pointy objects.

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Make sure he doesn't escape.....

Ok people some breaking news here - lots of good news, one little hiccup but an interesting solution has come of it.

The Argento cut of Dawn is not going to be in HD - it's simply not up to scratch - not by a long way.

So the package is going to work as follows - we'll have the lead Blu-ray disc which will contain the theatrical cut in HD and then two DVDs - one with the directors cut and one with the Argento cut - anyone with a Blu-ray player will be able to play the DVDs which will upscale and anyone who doesn't yet have a Blu-ray player can now own the Argento cut on DVD without having to import it pus enjoy some previously unavailable extras.

The overall line-up and the extras that have been assembled should make this a rather tasty package. Here's how it looks:


Disc One (Blu Ray):

Theatrical Cut in High Definition

DTS HD and Stereo Audio.

Commentary 1 with George A Romero, Tom Savini and Chris Romero.

Commentary 2 with Richard P. Rubinstein
