With little fanfare, Magnolia Home Entertainment has jumped into the
Blu-ray format with its first release, Steven Soderbergh's '
Bubble.'
Hitting stores quietly this past Tuesday, September 26, Magnolia has released
no press info on the Blu-ray 'Bubble,' though oddly the release is currently available
at major online outlets, including Amazon.com.
Magnolia previously announced support for the HD DVD format
in April of this year, pledging an initial slate of three theatrical titles
that was to include 'Bubble.' However, those releases never appeared, which
makes the almost covert appearance of the film on Blu-ray a bit of surprise.
We hope to have more details on 'Bubble,' as well as Magnolia's future Blu-ray
and HD DVD plans soon. Also look for a review of the disc in the coming days.
In the meantime, we've added a listing for 'Bubble' to our Blu-ray
Release Schedule. Stay tuned!
