Universal Studios Home Entertainment has revealed the specs for the upcoming Blu-ray release of 'The Mummy', due to hit store shelves on July 22nd, a few weeks after the DVD re-release. The film, which has been digitally remastered, will be presented on a BD-50 with 2.35:1 1080p video and a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack.

Extras include audio commentaries with the cast and crew, four featurettes ("Visual and Special Effects Formation", "An Army to Rule the World", "Building a Better Mummy", and "Unraveling the Legacy of the Mummy"), deleted scenes, and a storyboard comparison. Exclusive to the Blu-ray release will be Universal's "U-Control" in-movie experience and a picture-in-picture behind-the-scenes look into the making of 'The Mummy'.

Also included will be a sneak peak at the upcoming 'The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor' and movie ticket offer.

As good as that is, I frankly don't like the movie enough to buy it a fourth time.

I'm over the Mummy flicks.

But you liked it enough to buy it 3 times! Surely a fourth isnt a stretch.

[Jimmy Smith]

Sounds good. Might double dip.

I'll definitely rebuy for the DTS-HD MA track. I'm really glad they digitally remastered the picture. I also wonder if they will stick with VC-1 or go to AVC video encoding.

I wonder what price it will be?

It also will be interesting to see the ticket offer for the new Mummy movie.

I'll get this on a sale.

Already own the HD DVD but I'll buy it again at a cheap price - especially with the remastered picture/DTS and 1.1 PiP track.

I really really want to see an Official Universal's Blu-ray cover already!

[MSchneider84]

The DVD version is probably as far as I'll go.

[Giles]

lossless DTS! Sold!

This is a damned good sign. Here's hoping that Universal does the right thing and remasters a few of their other questionable titles - along with throwing DTS-HD MA audio. I will re-buy several of my HD DVD titles if they do.

[PETMIC]

I would like to hear what King Kong sounds like in DTS HD MA.

i wonder how much of an improvement the digital remaster will do, i have the mummy and its looks pretty damn good

[twonunpackmule]

I'm not a fan of the HD DVD version...it looks muddy. So, I might actually upgrade it...but after Mummy 2 comes out and jazz. I want a "deal".

I loved the Mummy flix (minus The Scorpion King) and am eagerly awaiting both the new movie, and the Blu release of the old ones.
