that is tremendous news

MCT · 02-05-2011, 07:41 AM

Color Of Money PLEASE to go with this

rezpekt · 02-05-2011, 07:44 PM

It was pointed out at Criterionforum.org that a new restoration premiered in January. I expect it to look fantastic and hopefuly there will be a digibook release in the US. I've started to love them.

McCrutchy · 02-05-2011, 08:28 PM

Newman looks severely constipated in that cover art.

Adam_ME · 02-05-2011, 08:34 PM

Nice! Now bring on The Verdict.

Brad1963 · 02-07-2011, 08:45 PM

Hopefully this means a U.S. release is in the works. Fox has been on a roll with classic titles lately.

Most DEFINITELY!

AND "Nobody's Fool", as I live in the "area" where a lot of this film was shot.

RipleyLV426 · 02-15-2011, 05:25 PM

Price dipped on amazon.uk

I hope we get an announcement in the US soon

I just saw this while looking through price-drops on Amazon-UK

I will take whatever U.S. release they're willing to give us for this.... I just need to have it! I'll stick to my DVD for The Color Of Money however....

You do?Love that movie.Think it's a real gem!Also was nice to see Bruce Willis doing something else,even if it is a 15 year old movie or so.

If they are doing a high-def remastering of The hustler,it seems a perfect thing to release it with Color of money.Love that movie-also

The problem is that the rights to each movie are owned by different companies. The Hustler is a fox movie, and The Color of Money is owned by Disney.

The Driver · 04-11-2011, 07:38 AM

Was never really a fan of this film (it's been 15 years since I watched it) and I disliked The Color of Money which left a bad tatse in mouth too.

I'd heard about the Blu-ray so sat down to watch my UK Steelbook SE and was transfixed by the film. A real joy. It's a really nice transfer so I'm looking forward to the Blu-ray to see what they've done.

The USA is getting a 'book' http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004SEUJ7S

I'll be watching the special features today of the SE DVD and I hope we get something more with this Blu-ray 50th anniversary.

If you're gonna photoshop eyes I can't think of a better pair. No blue Blu in the US it seems.

Watched most of those extras, not bad. Amazed to hear George C. Scott was actually younger than Newman in the film. He seemed like 20 years' older to me.

BluVinyl · 05-27-2011, 02:08 AM

Does anyone know if the UK version is region free? I was thinking of ordering this (I don't need the US book) along with a couple of other BDs from Amazon UK.

manicsounds · 06-03-2011, 01:19 AM

No one seems to know the specs....

The Driver · 06-03-2011, 08:36 AM

£10 max for me and I don't see much rush to buy it.

I'm sure someone will post the specs once they get it.

Harry Caul · 06-03-2011, 08:45 AM

I have the UK Version at home. Will check it out in terms of region free.

Harry Caul · 06-03-2011, 06:14 PM

O.k the UK Version is region free, it even shows the FBI warning before the Movie starts on my US Blu-ray Player: It has English 5.1 and Mono and Spanish, French, Portuguese and German 5.1 Channels, so I think it will be the same disc in all those regions: Extras play on US Player no Pal content here that won't play.
