The Fugitive and Blazing Saddles are due to hit HD DVD players nationwide May 23.

Warner Brothers yesterday announced the upcoming releases of their latest HD DVD titles. The Fugitive and Blazing Saddles are due to hit store shelves May 23 for $28.99 each.

For those not familiar with these films, Warner Brothers describes the plots of the movies as follows: The Fugitive stars Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones in a box-office hit and Best Picture Oscar-nominated motion picture based on the long-running TV series about a surgeon falsely accused of killing his wife, while Blazing Saddles stars Cleavon Little as an unlikely sheriff in the town of Rock Ridge, Harvey Korman as the villain, Madeline Kahn as a Marlene Dietrich-style chanteuse, Gene Wilder as the wacko Waco Kid and Mel Brooks himself as a not-too-sharp politico.

All bonus materials on the Standard Definition versions of each of the two titles will be included on the HD DVD versions as well.
