First HD-DVD: I want action, more action!

This is probably the shouts heard in the corridors of the marketing department at Universal Video when preparing the launch of HD-DVD. In the coming month, the first titles for high-definition DVD will be:

• Serenity: action and science fiction
• Doom: horror, action and science fiction
• Apollo 13: suspense and action
• Cinderella Man: boxing and love
• Jarhead: US Marines in Kuwait
• Assault on Precinct 13: action
• The Chronicles of Riddick: action and science fiction
• Van Helsing: vampires and action
• U-571: underwater suspense
• The Bourne Supremacy: action and science fiction

Of course, you’ll have to have one of the rare HD-DVD players, the right TV set, etc. But Universal clearly targeted its public for this debut.
