Paramount is the only major studio besides Warner Brothers to support both HD DVD and Blu-ray (BD). As such, they have announced two additional waves of titles in addition to their previously announced MI:3. All releases will have an MSRP of $29.99.

September 26th will see the release of Tomb Raider, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Four Brothers, and Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow.

Additionally, October 10th will bring U2: Rattle and Hum, Aeon Flux, and The Italian Job.

No additional details have been announced about the titles. Here’s what I’d like to see: some DD TrueHD or DTS HD soundtracks. How about some VC-1 or MPEG4 compression, to make the movie fit on a single layer disc? Or maybe MPEG2 compression, but on a dual-layer disc?

September Blu for Paramount

PS I’m feeling quite sick today, and yet I still bring you some HDTV news! How’s that for dedication? Now I hope my boss at IBM doesn’t read this…
