5/3 - National Treasure, Hero, Reign of Fire
6/21 - Hostage, Cursed, King Arthur: Extended Unrated Director's Cut, Tron
7/19 - Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Armageddon, Gone in 60 Seconds Unrated Director's Cut, From Dusk Till Dawn

some quotes:

The Incredibles might hit PSP for Christmas, Silverberg said. The studio plans to include as many special features as possible on UMD releases, he added.

"People want it to be as DVD-like as possible," Silverberg said.

Buena Vista will release about four PSP movies a month priced closely with DVDs of the same titles, and soon it will become the norm for UMD versions to be released simultaneously with Buena Vista's conventional DVDs, Silverberg said.

I wish they wouldn't!



So that we might escape the suck!

 

[Forsete]

Sweet!

I'm glad the UMD movies are doing well.

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

Awesome! Now we just need more movie studios to jump on-board...

 

[DarienA]

I think we also need the price to come down slightly... how much are people find UMD's locally for?

 

[Culex]

Do any of these movies come with DVD-esque extras or is it just the movie by itself?

 

[wipeout364]

Well I am pissed off, where are all the romantic comedies???!!!!!!

Kill Bill Vol.1 does.

 

[Mrbob]

WOOOO! With Kill bill Vol 2 out in July my UMD video collection will be complete!

Simultaneous UMD/DVD releases soon. Looks like PSP video is going to explode.

 

[tsp_gatmog]

Steamboy should come out on umd (Sony Pictures)

Also, Kung Fu Hustle should come to umd (Sony, again)


Seein' that bad boy today.

 

[Agent X]

Tron is coming out on UMD! Excellent!

Silverberg made some other interesting comments in that article:

Daniel Silverberg, new business development exec director at Buena Vista, said the studio's earliest PSP releases will tend toward unrated and director's cuts versions. But Silverberg believes the price for PSP hardware will drop from $249 to $199 by year's end, so movie titles thereafter will skew toward a younger user base including selected animated releases.

Looks like the heralded Disney back catalogue will be coming to UMD soon. I expect the PSP to drop to $199 by Xmas as well. Perhaps on the same day the Xbox 360 launches.

Glad to see he also got the memo on making UMD video as DVD as possible. Kill Bill is a good start!

I must have my RE PSP fix.

just latch on to that EGM rumour which says Capcom is making a RE game for PSP that's in the RE4 style...

 

[acklame]

sonystyle also lists some more (w/out release dates):

Boogeyman, Are We There Yet, Hollow Man, Charlie's Angels, Hitch, Spider-Man - New Animated Series, Daddy Day Care.

 

[Andy787]

I'll stick with the DVD releases of live action movies, outside of maybe a small few should they come to UMD, but if they start releasing animated stuff like Hayao Miyazaki's films, Pixar's films, Cowboy Bebop, and Samurai Champloo, I will be so on that shit. Live action films = ghosting ahoy, but I think animated movies would look spectacular on the PSP. Also, I would definitely go for DVD + UMD 2 packs, if they were only like $5-8 more.

These are some seriously horrible movies.

 

[Mrbob]

Yeah but it's easy profit even if they sell a scant few.
