French Connection Delayed To February - Blu-ray Forum

rev.and.ride · 12-08-2008, 04:36 PM

In case anyone hasn't seen this, The French Connection and The French Connection II have been delayed another month - to 2/24/09. I guess its just one more month, but with Dr. Strangelove delayed and Taxi Driver in doubt, I'm bummed.

Not good news...I am looking foward to the French Connection I and II. Hopefully, there will be NO further delays.

French Connection II has actually not been delayed, if I recall correctly. Originally, French Connection I was to be released a month earlier than French Connection II, which seemed very odd to me. Delaying the original a month to debut the same day as the sequel is not a big deal. Sure, it would have been nicer if the sequel was pushed forward a month, but meh.

As for Taxi Driver and Dr. Strangelove - those were NEVER officially announced. Retailer alerts were sent, and that resulted in many sites reporting the news - but Sony never made a press release officially announcing these, so it's hard to have a delay when there was never an initial solid date to begin with.
