The Towering Inferno on Bluray

I think its disgraceful that a classic movie like this wont be available in the UK on blu-ray, well not yet anyway.

Can always hope though for it is one of the best disaster movies ever made.
 
Yes - I have a multiregion Bluray player.

I had to get one in order to buy the superior US set of Planet of the Apes that came out last year.

The Towering Inferno is owned by Warner outside the US and they've not bothered to match the superb 2 disc dvd released by Fox a couple of years ago so not much hope for the Bluray.
If it did come out there may be no extras

Should be here in the morning.
 
As expected it looks great .
40 minutes of deleted scenes and masses of extras.

Not sure if these will appear on Warners UK disc thats now been announced for later this year along with North by Northwest ,Gremlins ,Wizard of Oz and quite a few more classics debuting on Bluray
 
Doubt it will be the same version as the dvd never was.

The original Fox R1 dvd was in 5.1 and the UK one was standard surround.

All these masses of extras have been available on a 2 disc dvd of the film from Fox that came out on R1 about 2 years ago , but Warner never bothered .

But if bonus features dont worry you then I'm sure the UK disc should be as good for the film itself although I think Fox use DTS Master Audio on their Blurays as standard - dont think Warner do

At least Fox own The Poseidon Adventure worldwide so no worrie when that comes out
