Disney/Buena Vista Entertainment threw a premiere party at the
Highlands Nightclub in Hollywood on Monday night to promote their
upcoming release of the first two Pirates movies on Blu-ray. Both
movies, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl and Dead
Man’s Chest will be released on the Blu-ray format on May 22, 2007.
The Blu-ray release of Dead Man’s Chest features new BD Java
technology. The Liar’s Dice game is a fully interactive,
high-definition special feature on the disc that should easily surpass
all existing features and set a new standard for the format’s special
features.
At
the event, it was also announced that Chronicles Of Narnia will be the
next film to be released on Blu-ray by Disney/Buena Vista.
Last night’s Blu-ray display of the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead
Man’s Chest on a 101-inch Panasonic Plasma screen yielded stunning
results. The release of these films should be a giant success for the
Blu-ray camp.
