The classic comedies, the ones for those with more refined tastes, are coming to Blu-ray soon!
In an early announcement to retailers, HBO seems to be preparing to release 'The Cannonball Run' on Blu-ray in the near future.
The film about an illegal cross-country car race features memorable performances by Burt Reynolds, Roger Moore, Farrah Fawcett, Dom DeLuise, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Adrienne Barbeau, Jackie Chan, Bert Convey, Terry Bradshaw, and Jamie Farr.
John Landis' 'Three Amigos!' also looks to be in the works, which stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Chevy Chase as unemployed actors who are mistaken for real gunslingers and are brought in to save a Mexican Village from the evil El Guapo.
Specs, supplements, and a release date have not been set yet, but suggested list price for each Blu-ray is set at only $14.98.
