Spielberg's A.I. on Blu-ray in October?


A.I. Artificial Intelligence may be one of the most divisive films in Steven Spielberg's filmography, but few would disagree that it's one of his most beautiful. Which is why reports that it could be on the verge of a Blu-ray release are such good news.

The folks over at Blu-ray.com are today claiming that the 2001 Warner Bros film could be released in Europe on October 15. That's according to German retailers. What this means for a US release is unclear however, as the domestic rights are held by Paramount.

For Spielberg fans and Blu-ray owners, 2010 has been a good year. Hi-def versions of Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report and War of the Worlds have all hit the shops in the last few months.

They join Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Twilight Zone: The Movie and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull as the only Spielberg-directed films currently available in HD.

Here's hoping that Jaws gets the full 1080p treatment soon (it's the 35th anniversary after all, it would only seem right!)
