Rumour seems to be that it will be 1080p. Listed with English subs so should be okay for the parts in Italian only.

Any news on special features yet?

Hard Times Chaney · 04-04-2014, 04:57 PM

It looks like this was pushed back to June 30th, but I could swear I saw it in stock around the release date. What's up with that?

the blob · 04-04-2014, 08:48 PM

Does seem to be the case. One German forum mentioned maybe a rights issue too but everywhere is pointing to June 30th.

Hard Times Chaney · 06-15-2014, 10:11 AM

It seems this release has been pushed back yet again. The date says December 31st, so who knows when this will see the light of day.

Hard Times Chaney · 01-22-2015, 05:38 PM

Has anyone been able to buy this yet? It says that December 31st was the release date. You can order it, but it's not currently in stock.

The Mole · 01-23-2015, 06:25 AM

December 31st is just a dummy date at Amazon. The release has been cancelled.

Damn, I might have to import the Italian BD then.

Jompa · 01-23-2015, 11:07 AM

The video stream is progressive on the IT BD, just flagged interlaced to match the soundtrack.

That's what I thought as well. Usually when the date has passed they changeit to, say, December 31st 2015 if the date is unclear.

Have you any source for the cancellation info? I thought it was just postponed.

What does that mean?

Jompa · 01-23-2015, 03:07 PM

That means the film is in 1080p, despite it saying it's in 1080i50. The HD transfer are encoded in 1080i50, but it actually contain progressive frames. This means that there is absolutely no motion-judder whatsoever. To be completly clear, it has a 1080p transfer "locked" inside a 1080i50 encode.

Hard Times Chaney · 01-23-2015, 09:40 PM

Is the lack of motion-judder a good or a bad thing?

Good

I own the Italian release and it's a keeper. Nice filmic transfer with natural grain intact.

Hail_the_Freak · 09-01-2015, 10:51 AM

I have had the Italian bluray for a while. It is a lovely transfer, and can confirm it is 1080p with a lossless soundtrack. The picture is excellent. The car chase is fantastic. Highly recommend!!!

I have updated the dvdcompare page and noted that it is flagged as 1080i. Thanks guys.

GiulioP · 09-21-2018, 09:36 AM

I cannot find the edition anymore on amazon.de. is it still available? it seems, according to the page here on blu-ray.com, that it is an uncut edition of 108 minutes, instead of the 105 minutes of the blu-ray of the italian edition by Ripley. Can anybody confirm that?

The Mole · 09-21-2018, 02:17 PM

The disc was canceled before release.

Drake2222 · 06-06-2021, 11:17 PM

At any rate, being released by Kino this year
