The infuriating thing is that Promotions Group list of forthcoming titles has, in the past year, proved itself to be an unreliable resource. It essentially culls titles named by studios over the past two years, even those named on a whim, and adds them. I don`t know why it`s that curiously maintained given it is produced by such an official source, but it`s difficult to take some of the titles on there as any indication of what might be coming soon since they`ve listed Lord of the Rings since last spring, along with Band of Brothers, and a batch of New Line titles all of which actually date back as far as CES 2005.

They`ve still not even amended the fact they`ve had The Aviator listed as a Universal title for goodness knows how long (it`s Warner).

It`d be nice to see some Spielberg biggies soon. The format could sure do with some exclusives like that without a doubt, but until Universal date such titles in dedicated press releases I have to treat their inclusion on that list with great caution given it`s shaky history. E.T is 25 this year, so whether that will prompt a release I am not sure. It's Amblin's call, not Universal's to give the green light to Spielberg content.
