If they wanted to the whole films could be re-scanned from the original prints of each days shot. there is any original print in MJ possesion. that would improve the clarity. I knew this wouldn't be done. the reason we have no new footage or making off is because warner would have to re-negotiate with the estate to get that, o it's cheaper to take a copy do some cmall cleaning and pop it on blu. coz fans buy this stuff.

Hope it's not he last time we see Michael in high definition.

Me neither. Love the blu-ray. Bad Tour in blu-ray would be amazing!!

Thats would be done only with major movies and it's done rarely or should i say never. No one would take that much effort to do such thing on a small movie like Moonwalker. It's not about negotiate with someone, fast cashing or not trying to do it right. it's just not worth it and expensive. One of the studios that spends alot of time is Disney on their movies. They take the best master they can find and remaster frame by frame.
No one does re-scann of original prints. It's done only with ooolllddd movies, whose masters are damaged. I think "gone with the wind" is done that way. For 80 years old movie it looks great on blu.
Come on guys get real.
Bigger movies like "Gladiator" and "Terminator" and etc. don't get such treatment and heve waaayy worst looking release on blu-ray. We have very good looking transfer. Corrected colors, no DNR, no over sharpening.

^^ lol DVD doesnt have the full picture either.

And to me the colour isnt perfect on this. There is a blue tinge to it.


well, i prefer missing a little bit on the sides that i've never seen before anyway
to suddenly missing a big chunk at top + bottom.
this sucks big time and makes this release worthless for me.

Moonwalker will be remastered properly when they want to sell it properly. at the moment people will buy anything thats why they did it this way. cheap.

Didn't see it in HMV today... Well, then again I was just browsing I didn't stay for long, I'll have to look again when I next go there, I can't wait to get it !! :)
 
Re: Michael Jackson Moonwalker Blu-Ray (New date June 2nd)-Threads Merged

But someone should change the date .. Cause I don't think it was release today.
 
Re: Michael Jackson Moonwalker Blu-Ray (New date June 2nd)-Threads Merged

This isn't in stores yet? I'm in town tomorrow so I'll take a look.
 
Re: Michael Jackson Moonwalker Blu-Ray (New date June 2nd)-Threads Merged

Somebody who odered from amazon germany already got a shipment confirmation?
 
Re: Michael Jackson Moonwalker Blu-Ray (New date June 2nd)-Threads Merged

I thought it was in stores from tomorrow (Thursday 3rd June)? Either way, a mid-week release is certainly unusual, even if it was a Bank Holiday on Monday.

Me yeah, yesterday!
Sadly tomorrow is a day off in Austria:(
 
Re: Michael Jackson Moonwalker Blu-Ray (New date June 2nd)-Threads Merged

Well that's great I didn't -.-
I was hoping to get it on Friday but it doesn't seem so:(

You meant this deluxe edition in steelbook? I got an email, it says it was shipped today (when I was ordering it, it said they'll ship it on June 11th.)

Have you checked your account info too?
Sometimes i didn't get an mail alert when they ship my items!:cheeky:

Maybe they have shipped it but had a system problem so you didn't got a mail!
 
Re: Michael Jackson Moonwalker Blu-Ray (New date June 2nd)-Threads Merged

I ordered from amazon uk and got a shipping confirmation the other day...
 
Re: Michael Jackson Moonwalker Blu-Ray (New date June 2nd)-Threads Merged

Mier, thanks for posting screen shots.

Is there any news on a U.S. release of Moonwalker on blu-ray?
 
Re: Michael Jackson Moonwalker Blu-Ray (New date June 2nd)-Threads Merged

I got a confirmation this morning for the Steelbook version.
 
Re: Michael Jackson Moonwalker Blu-Ray (New date June 2nd)-Threads Merged

I got a confirmation this morning for the Steelbook version.

:scratch:Is it compatible with U.S. PS3's and blu-ray players? Do you have a link?

I did but they say it hasn't been shipped yet:(

edit: They say it's going to be dispatched within the next 24 hours :)

edit2: I have bad news for all Steelbook orderers :( It seems like the FSK logo is PRINTED on the cover so you can't remove it -.-
Instead there's the cover without the logo on backside of the case. That's at least something but not as good as the TII Steelbook solution from Sony!

I don't remember exactly where I heard, but I recall someone saying that they tried it and it worked, which is why I went ahead and ordered it.
 
Re: Michael Jackson Moonwalker Blu-Ray (New date June 2nd)-Threads Merged

^ I've heard it works too. Please post here if anyone knows. :)

yes it's. jrc407 confirmed that for us. I also ordered a copy from HMV UK online and it works fine in my PS3. (Plus it took 10 days to get it from UK).
 
Re: Michael Jackson Moonwalker Blu-Ray (New date June 2nd)-Threads Merged

Someone already received his copy from amazon?
 
Re: Michael Jackson Moonwalker Blu-Ray (New date June 2nd)-Threads Merged
