So this is actually coming out on Blu-ray? The HD DVD people made it sound like it was only coming out on Hd DVD. They made a really big deal out of it.

So is the the movie any good?

The movie is awesome, plus, they got free $5 coupons at best buy they are already giving out for the month of march, so you could scoop some of those up there and be ready when this comes out, alot are by their blu-ray set up (the one with the demo disc playing)

How do you get the coupons? Do you have to buy some thing?

I just can't get over how much I love that cover art! Not to mention the fact that I don't have to worry about it being a combo with Blu-ray.

I haven't seen this latest adaptation but I have seen the previous two. The original Vincent Price version was fairly faithful to the book, just with the violence and sexual content removed, but it shows it's age (and lack of budget badly). The Chuck Heston 'Omega Man' remake was dreaful and had little to do with the book.

I hear this new Will Smith version also bears little relation to the book. Why can't Hollywood studios just film what is written as closely as possible? The book is brilliant and needs no changes. Does anyone know if the alternate ending in this new version brings it closer to the source? And can it be watched with seamless branching instead of just as an extra from a menu?

I think it has to do with leaving no surprises. They don't want people who have read the book to know exactly whats going to happen.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume your trying to post the cover art. Which has already been done.

I'm pretty excited for this BD release, out of all the new, non-catalog titles released on the format this will be one of my most anticipated.

Old news + new cover art = Sort of new news? LOL
