The Avengers International Fan Forum

Very old topic. News of HD masters and they are indeed HD were done from the OCN in 2008 at the latest. It hit many forums and even amazon.uk listed releases of the Avengers series shot on 35mm film for a bluray release. Then nothing happened. Releasing the series on dvd with the exception of the Ca...

I had bought that set back in 08 I believe for $100 than returned it as rumours circelated that the series was coming to bluray and possibly hddvd. Indeed Studio Canal is sitting on HD masters and has been for quite some time. I don't know who owns the rights to the series in the US if anyone does a...

I spoke to a guy who was involved with the Avengers DVD releases in some way or another a few years ago and he said that there will definitely not be a Blu-ray release ever because it was technically impossible for some reason... :shock: In a word Bull$h!+! The Avengers was remastered in High Defin...

Here's hoping a US company get's the right's to this series and starts releasing these titles in the US. Bluray has gottn dirt cheap in the states so DVD for Cathy Gale and bluray for Emma Peel and Tara King.

These are mysteries to us all. I don't think anyone holds the rights to The Avengers here in the states currently. The problem is Studio Canal titles have been released by many companies here in the states. Lionsgate probably being the biggest distributer. A & E has really shifted gears toward r...

I'm assuming you're not aware of the new UK DVD's released a year ago with extras containing the new remastered episodes? Remastered but NOT HD. High Definition requires Blu-Ray which hasn't been done yet for The Avengers. HD transfers of The Prisoner and The Persuaders have been issued on Blu-Ray ...

The episodes from series 4-5-6 were remastered in high definition . Have these been shown anywhere on TV in it's native HD formatting. No different than the Star Trek remasters being shown on HD channels in the states.

The source is HD, more than likely a 2K scan of the original 35mm original camera negative remastered for bluray. 1920 x 1080 vs. 576 x 720. Mathematically that is 5 times the # of pixels so yes the bluray would be a significant improvement over the dvd.

[However, my desire for a US release (or a Blu-ray release - anywhere!) isn't going to make a jot of difference unless a company in the US thinks the series is a viable proposition. Ditto for Blu-ray releases in Europe. The best I can advise is for US-based fans to contact companies like A&E, A...

No Kiddng? I honestly think the biggest hold up is the bluray release of these titles. Studio Canal needs to get off thier butt and release these titles on bluray as they were originally supposed to be. Bluray is ridiculously affordable in the US with decent titles as low as $5. DVD is a dwindling m...
