It'll be a double dose of Paul Verhoeven on high-def when Sony Pictures Home Entertainment brings 'Starship Troopers' and 'Hollow Man' to Blu-ray this October.

Though neither film was a blockbuster at the box office, both flicks have garnered a cult audience on video and cable, with each spawning their own direct-to-video sequels (and in the case of 'Starship Troopers,' its own animated series).

Sony will bring both films to Blu-ray on October 16, with each enjoying 1080p transfers and uncompressed PCM 5.1 surround tracks.

Sony has not yet announced supplemental details for either release, but we'll keep you posted.

Retail price is $28.95 each.

'Starship Troopers' and 'Hollow Man' will hit high-def only three weeks after Sony debuts another Verhoeven title, the highly-acclaimed 'Black Book,' which is due for release on Blu-ray September 25.

STARSHIP TROOPERS ON BLU-RAY

I cannot wait!!! And Hollow Man too.

Being a Paul Verhoeven worshipper I've been hanging for his films to get the treatment. Nice to see. Troopers is confirmed for Region B as well. Dunno about Hollow Man, but making it region free would be super.

Region B artwork, as its distributed by Buena Vista here.



Not the greatest as its BVHE styling but hey its on BD which is all that matters..

(and no the giant e isn't the design. Its the retailers logo)

Sony Puts 'Starship Troopers' Blu-ray on Hold
Wed Aug 01, 2007 at 07:55 AM ET

Only days after it was announced for next-gen release, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has indefinitely delayed the Blu-ray release of 'Starship Troopers .'

The Paul Verhoeven cult classic was first announced earlier this week for a October 16 next-gen debut, along with another Verhoeven title, 'Hollow Man.'

However, we've just received word from Sony that while 'Hollow Man' remains on their Blu-ray schedule, 'Troopers' is now postponed.

The studio is still planning on releasing the title to Blu-ray, with a new date will be announced in the future. We'll certainly keep you posted.
