Actually they just started showing this movie here in Vancouver. The 'Che' Roadshow edition runs a whopping 272 minutes which includes a 15 minute intermission! I probably check it out.

Minimejer05 · 03-07-2009, 04:49 PM

The US better atleast get these on Blu. I would love the full Roadshow or a special packaging of both. But I bet its either DVD only.. or just two of them at 30 a pop. No special package

Kynch · 03-07-2009, 04:50 PM

I especially appreciate the black amaray case, has a movie ever been released in black? I know The Incredible Hulk was green, but besides that...

Advent Children also has a black amaray.

I'll spare no expense to get the highest quality release of this title.

BlackDevil · 03-08-2009, 12:54 AM

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!

This looks AMAZING! Hopefully this comes out soon, I only got to see Part 1 and Im dying to see the next one.

Please come out sooon, Since I'm Region A this is perfect, rumors say Summer for the US but IFC doesnt have any Blu-Rays under its belt. Its gonna come down to who has the best packaging i think.

Also the Jp release of Akira also had Black Blu Case.

Anyone know why the japense titles have numbers 28 and 39??

Kynch · 03-08-2009, 01:24 AM

I'm guessing the numbers are referring to the two periods pictures in both parts?

I haven't seen the movies so I don't know.

But Che Guevara invaded Cuba in 1956 at the age of 28 and he died at the age of 39.

Moviefan1203 · 03-08-2009, 02:15 PM

This looks to be a great release, that I would love to add to my Blu-ray library. Both Che films are great cinema. Japan releases are Region A, aren't they?

Yes.

It's released by Sony Pictures, aren't they usually region free?

Actually, all Sony releases in Japan have been region free so far, except for 2 or 3 titles. If this is region free, I am getting this for sure, this is so classy! But why the hell hasn't it been announced in the USA yet?! Really I just don't get it!

snoman_99 · 03-09-2009, 07:32 PM

WOW hope this is tru this will be a great addition to your blu collections.

definately going to have to import this!

Those black cases look sweet. God, that thing is going to cost a fortune, I can tell. Damn Japan...

It'll be interesting to see if it's released the same way here or if they'll split the two movies up and sell them separately. Didn't they release them in the theaters separately? It was either the U.S. or Latin America where they did that IIRC.

Japan is the same region as USA.... So If you live in the US your good.

One reason why it hasn't been announced on Blu-ray is that it still touring Art House Theaters.... Its coming to my local Theater in 2 weeks. They are showing it in 2 different showings. You have to buy 2 tickets

Superking · 03-10-2009, 01:17 AM

That looks great, but I wish there was the roadshow version on Blu, I know there was an intermission, but The Godfather II was all on one blu, and I'm guessing that It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World's eventual blu release will be the same (hopefully).

<3 that roadshow version.

Yes, I know it's 4 hours, but still.

After searching through the official Sony Japan Blu-Ray website linked in the original article, I have been unable to find the complete listing for this release. It seems all that has been sent out is the (incomplete) press release. Perhaps in a few days they will update their website as well. Until then, I wouldn't get your hopes up regarding this release unless you (and anyone you would like to enjoy this movie with at the same time) can either A: comprehend fluent Spanish, or B: read Japanese at a native level. I meet neither of these criterion, and that is after 7 years living in Japan. It was to my disappointment (but in retrospect it was obvious going in... I just wasn't thinking clearly when I bought my ticket) when I went to see this movie in the Theater here in Tokyo, and about 10 minutes in, I realized I wouldn't be able to follow the dialogue except for the few intermittent spoken English scenes. I'm not entirely familiar with the latest capabilities of the Blu-Ray Format so am unsure if you can "officially" update a BD (using a vanilla off the shelf player that is unhacked) with an English subtitle file, which you would certainly be able to find with the most rudimentary google search.

Sony rarely updates there website to get the fastest news so you can rarely rely on that. And this is an American Movie. Its in English/Spanish and will have the English subtitles thats like a given. I've bought a lot of Blu-Rays from Japan and all the American made movies have all been VERY English friendly. Amazon says Subtitles too. So there is very little doubt in my mind that this wont have the partial subtitles that this movie was intended to have.

Not to mention with Amazons standard 27% off this will come down to a reasonable $70
