Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Animation have announced that from no on they will support the HD-DVD format exclusively – that means no Blue-ray version of Shrek 3 or Transformers. However Spielberg directed movies such as the Indiana Jones trilogy will remain multi-format.
"I believe HD-DVD is not only the affordable high quality choice for consumers, but also the smart choice for Paramount," said CEO and chairman Brad Grey.
"We decided to release 'Shrek the Third' and other DreamWorks Animation titles exclusively on HD-DVD because we believe it is the best format to bring high quality home entertainment to a key segment of our audience - families," said CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg.
