Along with a collaboration of a bunch of other Superman releated DVD titles.
As for the documentary "Look Up in the Sky", it will be released first June 20th and then on the 27th with the collection.
I've been reporting for
www.dvdfanatic.com for almost three years, and have access to all the press sites and it's my job to be scanning DVD news daily. It will not be coming out on June 27.
For one thing, this is a
very high-profile release, yet Warner hasn't made a peep about it. It's 6 weeks away. For pre-orders and such to come in on time, and for all the coverage to file away, they'd need to have announced it by now. And they have, in that link I posted, saying it's coming out in Q4.
Another thing, which you even showed, is how your "early information" indicates that
Superman Returns will be part of the 14 disc set. Surely, you would not think Warner would release its biggest title of the year on DVD 4 days before its theatrical debut.
As well, most of the
Superman products (the animated series, the Lois and Clark series, the old 1950's series, the "Up in the Sky" documentary), are being released a week before, on June 20, a week and a half before
Returns.
As well, in their frequent talks with the WB PR, the incredibly reliable
www.thedigitalbits.com had mentions of the
Superman box set from them months ago, indicating that it would be released in the fall, alongside
Returns.
If anything, there will be an HD only box set on the 27, with the original 4 films and some extras (and not
Returns), with the standard DVD box set to come in the fall alongside
Returns, and even more TV series releases.
If I need any more reasoning, let me know. In the meantime, I'd love to know how
you know
without a shadow of a doubt that a 14-disc box set, with
Returns included in it, would be released only days before the theatrical release of
Returns. Call me curious.
