Awesome news first day buy

I was just about to pull the triggger on dvd version on eBay might still just Incase extras are not ported over

[Leonidas King]

The David Fincher filmography on BD is complete!

[RodChester]

Hopefully all the extras from the special edition dvd release get ported over. It’ll be nice to finally have Fincher’s complete filmography in HD.

Didn't like it when I saw it in the theater, but will buy it to complete my Fincher collection. Also, maybe I'll feel different about it now. Who knows? Maybe I was in a bad mood that day. But, I do remember that my friend had the same reaction I did.

I'll give it another chance, though.

[Jay Mammoth]

UHD for me, about time.

[LPMA]

Since it's Sony, should we assume it will be part of their BD-R line?

[Axl Rose]

Easily one of the most illogical films ever.

No because if its also getting a 4K release and that doesn’t use such disc format its easy to assume it won’t be BD-R.

Not selling my DVD set until I'm sure.

There’s never any parity with Fincher’s filmography on a home
video format until the next format comes around.

In the DVD days an edition of The Game with an anamorphic transfer and extras was the holy grail of the Fincher filmography and it eventually came, though it came well into the life of the Blu-ray format day-and-date with the Blu release courtesy of Criterion obviously.

So the real question is: what Fincher film will be the straggler on 4K disc and what will the newer, superior format be at that time? I have a feeling we’ll all be here bemoaning a Zodiac-shaped gap in our 4K Fincher collection a few years from now.

Also, I don’t see this as a huge development. Even when Twilight Time had Panic Room licensed they were waiting for Sony to supply them with a 4K transfer and Sony in turn was waiting for Fincher to approve one. That was probably 2 years ago at least and that was about as concrete as this report.

The Gift wasn't Fincher.

[ChrisOz]

Bout time. Kinda confuses me why this one hadn't hit BD yet. It's a fun home invasion flick.

He means The Game (I'm sure you already know that, but eh). Looking forward to finally owning Panic Room on BD

[imsounoriginal]

Thought he meant that Cate Blanchett movie.

I obviously meant The Game. You knew I meant The Game, it was the only movie that fit the context of what I posted. It was never non-anamorphic on DVD, it was never missing extras on DVD and Criterion never released it.

Sometimes it’s worth making a correction, sometimes it just makes you look like an *******.

You've could've meant to say "The Gift" but been wrong about *those* details.

How odd would it be for the red-headed stepchild of Fincher's filmography, the only film of his not to have made it to BD, over a decade into the format, to be his first film on 4K Blu-Ray?

I'm not complaining, it's actually one of my favorites among his films, the craft is impeccable and I love that it's a relentless freight train of suspense, with some of the most well-crafted sequences in his career.
