Even though Paramount has taken longer to announce their Blu-ray slate than the other former HD DVD lackey, they’re getting ‘em out the door quicker, surprisingly. The first three BDs (I hate the acronym, but let’s go ahead and digest it) from Paramount arrive May 20: Face/Off (yes!), Bee Movie and Next. Then it gets kinda sparse, with intermittent releases through the rest of the summer, though its first simultaneous new release w/ DVD will be The Spiderwick Chronicles on June 24. Not the hot roster I was looking for (Woo’s opus excepted), but at least the Blu ball for every major studio is finally rolling. Update: We just did one better and got Paramount’s press release with the full list (which confirms HR’s report), check it out below.
