'Jack Ryan' HD DVD Set Gets a New Date
Fri Jan 25, 2008 at 11:00 AM ETTags: Street Date Changes, Paramount (all tags)
After a delay of several months, Paramount has set a March re-launch for 'The Jack Ryan Collection' on HD DVD.
As previously reported, the 'Jack Ryan' set was due to hit HD DVD late last October, only to be derailed at the last minute when early copies shipped to retailers and reviewers listed extras on the box that were not found on the actual discs. Paramount subsequently pulled the set, with no new date in sight.
The studio has now rescheduled 'The Jack Ryan Collection' for March 25, but fans hoping for a bumped up package of supplements will be disappointed. The box again contains all four films in the series ('The Hunt for Red October,' 'Patriot Games,' 'Clear & Present Danger,' 'The Sum of All Fears') but it will come without any announced bonus content.
Tech specs remain consistent with the previous release, including 1080p video and audio flavors in Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround and Dolby Digital-Plus 5.1 Surround.
Suggested retail for the box set also remains a suggested $99.95.
