The Italian Job (not the one with Marky Mark in it) looks like crap as source material I believe.
I'd love to see a good BluRay of it, but it'll take a lot of restoration. A lot of restoration that likely would never pay back in sales here in the US. So I guess we have to hope we can ride the UKs work (which is easier now that BluRays are format-compatible from here to the UK).
They're TV format compatible, but could potentially be blocked by region coding. Fortunately it seems the studios are using this very sparingly, just to prevent discs from being released into regions where a movie is still showing theatrically.
I agree with you though, that every film released on Blu-ray should have painstaking restoration done on it, so we can get the ultimate in quality that's possible.
The whole line-up consists of the $60 Amps in-ears and $100 Tracks on-ear headphones, which both also come in slightly souped-up and pricier HD variations at $100 and $130, respectively.
