The Ninth Configuration (1980) coming from Second Sight - Blu-ray Forum

Akijama · 08-21-2015, 05:22 PM

SS just hinted at The Ninth Configuration release here.

Cool! I believe Mark Kermode mentioned this today when talking about Shutter Island. Not seen the film so will be interested in getting this at some point...provided it's a decent transfer of course.

huntauk · 08-21-2015, 07:24 PM

Cool. I'm in, if only just to see the bar scene in HD.

Bumblefeet · 08-22-2015, 12:27 PM

Great, I don't have to import the US version. I think they will probably use the same transfer (the same one also on the R1 DVD). It's a good version of the movie, but I would still like to see the other cuts of the movie, apparently at least one longer version exists:

From imdb:

"There are five different versions of this film, with various running times from 99 up to 140 minutes. Director William Peter Blatty disowned all versions except one: his approved cut runs 118 minutes and is the version that was originally released theatrically in the USA. This version is available on DVD."

I would be interested to see if this differs from the US version in any way. Will it just be a port? Have more extras? A better artier cover?

SymbioticFunction · 08-23-2015, 01:10 PM

Looking forward to this one.

anephric · 08-23-2015, 02:06 PM

Oooh, brilliant. This is one of my favourite films.

Great movie and I love Blatty as a director.

Good to see this film getting some attention.

Jope · 02-17-2016, 05:37 PM

For anyone who has purchased releases by Second Sight in the past, are they generally region locked?

Marv Inc. · 02-17-2016, 05:49 PM

They are always locked. I think Return of the Living Dead was unlockable though with the top menu trick.

EUSTACE FARGO · 02-23-2016, 07:43 PM

They've gone for the 'Clockwork Orange' style poster for the cover.

It's ok I guess, infinitely better than the US blu-ray cover. The movie had the worst poster art and this one at least looks well designed even though it's totally misrepresenting the movie.

CouncilSpectre · 02-23-2016, 08:00 PM

Meh. Prefer the DVD art TBH....

EUSTACE FARGO · 02-23-2016, 08:14 PM

The alternate cut got the better poster.

rapta · 02-23-2016, 09:23 PM

Might they do reversible artwork?

CouncilSpectre · 02-23-2016, 09:29 PM

If they don't then I think I'm just going to fashion my own from the DVD sleeve.

stephenwilson04 · 02-24-2016, 09:06 PM

The Second Sight art might not be representitive of the film, but is great art, and I'm happy they used this one. It's a hell of a lot better than the US blu-ray cover.

That's much better than what was used on the US blu-ray.

In fact, there is a poster with that specific artwork.

And being a big fan of the movie, this image does suit a sequence that happens much later in the film.

I received my pre-order for this yesterday. £12.99 from The Entertainment Store. Was surprised as it's only supposed to be out next week!
