Very low price =

I would have guessed at least £17.99 considering the rumored extras and restoration.

[Michael1989]

Niceee can't wait .

[Mr. Brightside]

Day One purchase for me. Great price, too.

[SymbioticFunction]

Excellent.

Also looking forward to owning Exorcist 3 - Legion by Blatty. Great companion piece and the only other related film worth owning imo.

[LordCrumb]

September? Too long to wait lol

[KingSimba]

It is now 'unavailable' on the HMV website for some reason:

Looking fwd to the US release

[arcadeforest]

I can't wait for this one as well. Still throw the DVD in once or twice a year so I know I'll be upgrading.

[RJStrong]

That movie scared me so bad, I only claimed to have seen it. The only way that would have happened is if I'd stopped cringing, and faced the tv.

Will this be the same as the US release?

Since it's a Warner release very very likely and the Director himself, has approved or overseen the transfer himself, if I remember correctly.

Yes. However, I don't think it will be packaged in a digibook case.

The US release is 2 discs;
Disc 1 - Extended Director's Cut (2000) plus Special Features
Disc 2 - Theatrical Cut (1973) plus Special Features

Anywhere I've seen listing the UK release only mentions one disc, and the Director's Cut

[FrankV]

I'm sure the UK release will be two disc. Just wait for the press release and you'll see.

Hmmm. Untouched "theatrical cut" or the one (so it's not -literally- the theatrical cut) that made it to DVD originally in the US. There are 3 cuts AFAIK.

Also, take note, when the 25th version got a UK release they showed a truncated version of that BBC documentary.

I'll be holding off.






USA DigiBook

I might prefer that too. Although Warner are undoubtedly the best distributor in the UK they also released the totally crap Dances With Wolves Blu-ray.

[mredman]

well i guess thats the us version then for me

What was wrong with the Dances With Wolves BD. Apart from some visible Compression Artifacting here and there the transfer is strong with DNR and EE kept to a minimum (even though they both respectively become noticeable at various points throughout). Colour Saturation is strong and most if not all of the grain structure is intact. I'd say that Warner have done a fine job on this catalogue release.

[DaveSimonH]

It annoys me that we still don't get a look in when it comes to digibooks

[insomniac013]

Im definitively going with the Digibook instead of the boring normal UK case. It just looks classier!

Plus it would be my first Digibook
