It's basically saying that Criterion has been working on a clear custom blu-ray plastic case that they will use on some future Criterion blu-ray releases later in the year instead of the current cardboard packaging.

CC

Good because that cardboard just plain sucks! In fact they should just go with the blu plastic cases. I am glad to see some of our custom cover guys stepping up to the plate and getting these out there so we can use normal cases on them.

Anyone know if the 2 Disc Blu of Ben Button is going to be released by Criterion? I pre-ordered my copy off of Criterion's website the other day, but I'm pretty sure they only had the single disc. I just checked on amazon.com and it looks like it's going to be a Paramount release.
Any info?

the 2 disc blu and dvd are both going to be criterion.

the 1 disc will only be available on dvd and will not be a criterion (at least i didn't think so...i've never heard of criterion releasing multiple versions of a movie before)

So the blu-ray will have some french in audio and subtitles, what Criterion never put usually ...
So maybe we can hope for a region free title ?

Just got my Wages of Fear Blu today and it comes in a clear plastic case. Much better than the earlier packaging I think.

How did you already get wages of fear? Let's see some pictures of the casing.

mattconroy · 03-31-2009, 03:23 PM

Got mine directly from Criterion. Here are some pics. I nearly ripped off the cellophane but figured you would want to see how they call it out as a Blu-ray disc...

Haven't watched it yet, or read any of the materials.

PowellPressburger · 03-31-2009, 03:26 PM

Thanks so much for the pics! Nice case!!!

Lovin IT!

This film is such a great thriller to watch on a hot summer nite!

Question though.. is the Blu Ray Sticker on the actual case of the plastic wrap?

I didn't like Performance much, but I would LOVE to see Walkabout finally get the release it deserves.

o my bad you're right...

for the criterion edition: 1 disc BLU-RAY, 2 disc DVD

for the non criterion edition: 1 disc DVD (probably pretty bare bones)

Hope mine shows up within the next couple days. I just pre-ordered yesterday with the extra 10% off deal they had. usually shippings only 1 or 2 days from Criterion.com...

Yeah, that's why I'm thinking too. Though I wonder why they annouced a 2 disc Blu-ray version when they first annouce the release info for the film.

Is this a standard size blu-ray case, like the same size as the blue ones?

robertthunder · 03-31-2009, 09:34 PM

This looks like anyother regular sized CC case. If it's bigger than the regular Blu cases I'm going to be pissed!!!

I don't like the case at all. I quite liked the slip cases, and this just looks like anyother CC release. Nothing new... I'm not impressed.
