‘Wanted’ to Boost Blu-Ray Sales?
June 22nd, 2008, All Angelina Jolie,Universal Studios home entertainment studio executive Craig Kornblau told the Variety Magazine that Angelina Jolie’s newest action-filled movie, Wanted could bring in the Blu-ray sales to the next level. At the Los Angeles Film Festival, the
studio executive said that the audience was thrilled at the movie upon premiere, which is a very rare occurrence in the L.A. film fest. He believes that “Wanted” could help Blu-ray on the map and could do the same impact for that format. He explained further saying “Like Matrix trilogy did for DVD”.
Although there’s still no exact date when “Wanted” would be released in Blu-ray format, the company is planning to introduce it during the holiday season with the $200-priced Blu-ray players.
“What The Matrix did for DVD, this could do for Blu-ray,” said Kornblau.
I can’t wait to watch the movie myself. With this much good reviews, I’m getting more and more curious. The Blu-ray players remain high-priced today, but we’ll see if they’ll think of a price-cut when “Wanted” blu-ray is out.
