Enough rumored Blu-ray Disc release date rumors have crossed my desk to warrant putting together this article so you can get an idea of what the coming months hold for the high-def home video format.
The first rumors suggests the sci-fi horror thriller Pandorum will make fast tracks to Blu-ray on December 22, followed by a devilishly hungry Megan Fox in Jennifer’s Body on December 29. I tend to believe the latter is more plausible than the former but we should find out soon enough either way.
The new year should kick off with the direct-to-video sequel Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins Ball.
January 12 is looking to debut the remake of Fame two weeks prior to the original arriving on Blu-ray. Also a possibility for this date is Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 and Summit’s critically acclaimed The Hurt Locker which I personally cannot wait to see.
Gerard Butler’s underachieving Gamer has a tentative date of January 19 while Bruce Willis in Surrogates might be let loose on January 26.
Lastly, Showtime will continue bringing its original programming to Blu-ray on February 23 with the release of Nurse Jackie: Season One, already available for pre-order at Amazon.com.
Remember, all rumored Blu-ray release dates are to be considered just that: rumors. None of these dates are official until announced by each title’s respective studio/publisher.
