i would like to see jay and silent bob have a new transfer on blu ray is there anyway we can get them to remaster it and with all the bonus feature added too?

[adsdsdsd]

Ughhhhh......

[Buzz201]

Why? The present transfer (on the UK disc at least) is perfectly fine. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if that was the best the film will ever look...

I agree! But before that I really want a blu-ray release of Jay and Silent Bob Do Degrassi, that should be the priority. I got a weird thing for girls who say, "Aboot."

Cool, good for you.

I think it should also include the 3 hour cut of "Oh, What a Lovely Tea Party".

[batman2000]

so what is the best way to get them to put out a new blu ray?

Indeed, it's a shame we only got an abbreviated version on a release for a completely different movie. Much like how Vulgar has a thing about Dogma.

I can't say anything about the transfer on the existing blu-ray since I haven't checked it out at all due to the missing bonus features. New transfer or not, it needs a feature packed re-release. It's always annoying when a BD doesn't carry over all the extras from DVD's, but especially so for a Kevin Smith title.

There's only one way to do that at the present time. Buy the U.K. release, which has better PQ. Keep in mind that it is region B locked, but it has the commentary just like the U.S. disc. For the extras just get the 2002 DVD put it and the BD in a single case and call it a day. I have done this with Predator, Master and Commander, and a few others.

Didn't they re-release this with all the extras ?

[batman2000]

so there's no way to get them to seriously consider doing it?

Who?

Miramax owns the property and elements.

Lionsgate owns the distribution rights.

Unless Miramax has a specific reason to repromote this, they won't do anything and even then Lionsgate has to agree with it. Same the other way around.

Talk to Kevin Smith about it. He's always available for his fans.

[batman2000]

is twitter the only way to talk to kevin smith or the studios?

In this connected world?

You never thought of email, phone call, or a good old fashioned letter?

Seriously though, Lionsgate needs a viable, i.e. MONEY, reason to revisit this. Considering that Zach and Miri still relegated Smith films to the indie/fan only genre, Cop Out didn't perform to expectations, and Red State was not heavily promoted... Lionsgate sees nothing at this time to justify the cost of remastering, let alone paying for a new encoding, of the film.

Not even Universal's announcement for Mallrats is pushing them to repromote this.

Maybe when Clerks III sees the light of day, maybe it will given a new release, maybe.

I don't want to say it will never happen or dash your dreams but Lionsgate only really repromotes titles when it is to their advantage. Even if Miramax was willing to do a bang up edition, its going to take awhile.

I mean Chicago got a repromotion as did Good Will Hunting but both of these were silent tie-in promotions.

Good Will Hunting anniversary release tied to Promised Land's theatrical release: both starring Matt Damon and both directed by Gus Van Sant

Chicago special edition release tied to Into The Woods coming at the end of the year: both directed by Rob Marshall

Now 2016 would be the 15th anniversary for Jay & Silent Bob: Strike Back and 2021 would be the 20th anniversary. So there is the slight possibility but then again, Miramax and/or Lionsgate could be waiting for the unicorn Clerks III to do a proper promotion.

Not that I know of. There's a re-release, apparently:

That thread lists a bunch of extras, but everyone in the thread says it's just the same disc re-released.

It was the same as the original disc. MPEG-2 with the commentary only. The U.K. disc is AVC and a higher bitrate and also just contains the commentary. As I said above you have to buy the 2002 DVD and the BD if you want a complete set.
