Possibly the greatest reaction to losing blow ever.

VIDEOgameDROME · 02-24-2023, 03:35 PM

Ordered but I really wanted Atmos or DTS X and the poster.

RageATL · 02-24-2023, 04:05 PM

Anybody know if the US will get a version?

themp3000 · 02-24-2023, 04:10 PM

It’s up to Criterion in the US I suppose.

Any link ? I cant find on arrow site.

Very little doubt it will at some point. Most likely from Criterion as Universal will probably let them since they currently have it licensed out to them.

Yes. See this post quoted earlier: https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.p...ostcount=70530

both Blackhat and Fear and Loathing: UK/US EDIT: nope, Fear and Loathing UK only - my bad
The Last Starfighter: US only

Fear and Loathing is UK only. Criterion has the rights in the US. Whether they plan their own 4K release is unknown at this point.

Thanks. But I could swear it said UK/US before, but I might very well remember it wrong. But there's an edit any rate.

Likely from Criterion.

The Criterion didn't even have a slipcover, so the Arrow version will still have better packaging and artwork.

Gilliam's one of the few out there you could legitimately call a genius.

Buy the ticket. Take the ride.

Preorder is up for shipping in the US here, $27.95. my Sisters Brothers and Last Emperor order from them should be here by tomorrow or Monday.

Jompa · 02-24-2023, 06:03 PM

I remember i liked this film watching it years ago. Wasn't it a dark comedy?

Thanks. Extremely dissapointed it isn't a typical fatboy limited. Wild Things deserved that treatment, but Fear didn't? Or Even 12 Monkeys? Arrow must hate Gilliam.

Grethiwha · 02-24-2023, 06:57 PM

Hell yes!

I've been kind of obsessed with this film lately, I watched it probably 3 times last year, plus all the commentaries on the Criterion edition. I watched the Hunter Thompson commentary twice – that one's the best. I guess it's a Criterion exclusive though since it's not included here.

Since I missed it the first time around I was very much hoping that Arrow would upgrade their remastered LE to 4K, as they are in the habit of doing, and I'm pumped to see that hope come true.

That said, it is quite disappointing that this doesn't have the 2nd disc from the original Arrow LE, containing the "For No Good Reason" documentary, plus the poster and packaging bells and whistles:

Nonetheless, instant pre-order.
