7th October 2013

Pre-orders
Amazon

Buddy Ackerman · 04-10-2013, 11:06 AM

That is an early pre-order, considering it's not out at the cinema until next month.

Still, with all of the summer films competing for screens, I guess most people will end up missing it and having to catch it at home.

I will likely get this. Won't put my order in for a good while though.

EDIT: Good price

Just watched the trailer. Not sure about it.

Hated Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet.

This seems like a perfect fit for Whedon and I expect it'll be a much more subtle affair than the film Luhrmann directed.

This used to have pink cover art

Anyone received this yet? Apparently its missing a bunch of special features off the US release... Potentially regretting my pre-order

Where's the source for this? The only one I can find is an Amazon reviewer, who hasn't received their copy yet...

And given Kaleidoscope are the international sales team for the film, I imagine they'll have every bonus features Whedon's given them...

These both seem to suggest only the Joss commentary and trailer, but the second link does refer more specifically to the DVD release

goldmonkey · 10-07-2013, 05:32 PM

Totally unbelievable. The States get a directors commentary, a cast and director commentary, two featurettes, and a music video. We get a directors commentary and oh, a slip! Hard to believe we're living in the 21st century when a bluray has the same extras as the dvd - even down to the slip cover.

Subtitles?

Thanks!

Nico Darko · 12-05-2017, 11:12 PM

Does anyone know if the UK Blu-ray preserves the 1.85:1 aspect ratio? The US edition is cropped to 1.77:1.

sjt · 12-06-2017, 04:52 PM

Full frame in the UK also, from the identical master. This minimal degree of cropping is more and more common, probably for no better reason than to forestall the usual half-witted whining of the people who complain that they've got black bars at the top and bottom.....

Nico Darko · 12-07-2017, 09:42 PM

Oh too bad, thank you for the info. I know the cropping is minimal, but if a director chose a 1.85:1 frame, it should be preserved.
I was annoyed that The Avengers Blu-ray was also 1.77:1, but at least it was opened-up to the top and bottom, so no cropping.

So I guess the only release of Much Ado with the correct AR is the German Blu-ray, but I want English subtitles, and they're not included.
