Strange Days

[socialzero]

Does anyone know if there has been any word of a US release of James Cameron's "Strange Days"?
I know there's a German (region B) version, but that does me no good.
I've searched everywhere and there seems to be very little info on this movie.
It's a great movie and needs a US release.

I hope we get a Blu release of this in the US soon. Reading the Strange Days Blu-ray Review of the German edition makes me want it more.

I'm sure he bumped it because of the review that showed up on the main page today. I was so frickin' excited when I saw it only to have my heart ripped out when I was it was Region B only. Oh the injustice of it all! Okay, so I’m being a little overly dramatic. Nonetheless, it is so frustrating to know that there is a great blu transfer out there and not be able to watch it

That review makes me wonder. People have discussed that german blu-ray many times before and those high marks was not what was said then. I remember pretty average was the summary then and all started waiting for a better version. I haven't the disc myself but it makes me

[nycbhh]

Your right, I thought this was a review for a new improved edition that was just released, but it’s actually a review of the two-year old release.

Could you link me to these posts where it was summed up that the transfer is average?

Thanks.

Oh, man, I just looked to see if this thread even existed, and it's completely abandoned.

Doesn't feel like there's much interest in this film, and it's a pity, because it's a great movie, me thinks.

I'm sure it will be released at some point, and I'm hoping it will be sooner rather than later.

Has anyone heard anything recently?

I agree

I love this film, but it seems to be forgotten. I hoped it would reach BD when Bigelow and Hurt Locker won their Oscars, then I hoped Zero Dark Thirty and its success would bring it to disc.

No luck yet.

Have not seen this in quite awhile - would love to have this one.

First of all, caveat - there is no new news on Strange Days (1995). I don't want to get anyone's hopes up.

I just wanted to bump this thread to express my strong interest in seeing this film released to Blu (if for no other reason than that it needs an anamorphic print). I first saw it back in the 200x's, and felt it was a great sci-fi flick that touched on several things I remember from the '90's, i.e. cyberpunk/virtual reality & the concern/nervousness about Y2K. Seeing it long after the film was set (late 1999) is interesting. I do think the story, set designs, and costumes are all amazing.

I know this doesn't help everyone, but the German BD does play on Panasonic machines with the STOP, TOP MENU, TOP MENU trick.

Cameron only wrote that one, didn't direct it.

One of my favorites though.

I prefer The Doors album of the same name.

[katharsis]

Funny I just watched the DVD over the weekend.
Still really like the movie and would upgrade day 1!

I have only seen this once, but I really liked it. I would pick this up if it came out, but it is doubtful.

This is a Kathryn Bigelow film. So now that she's just won the oscar for best director (a historic event, since she is the first female director to win such award), and her film The Hurt Locker won best picture and gotten so much praise, Im sure Fox will want to release her kinetic masterpiece Strange Days on blu ray, now that she's got everyone's attention worldwide. Same goes with her first war film K-19 The Widow Maker, which I've never seen (is that on blu ray already? Near Dark already is). Anyway, here's hoping Fox makes it's move and seizes the momentum. It's business for them and joy for us, since I really love this character-driven mind-bending film.

Same here. Rented it when it first came out and have not seen it since. Would definitely buy it on blu.

[AKORIS]

underrated movie-- would like to see this on blu

[Snake Plissken]

he only bad thing about films he early Cyberpunk style films, like this and Johnny Mnemonic, is the technology just looks so outdated and comical, it takes away from the enjoyment
