Actually they just started showing this movie here in Vancouver. The 'Che' Roadshow edition runs a whopping 272 minutes which includes a 15 minute intermission! I probably check it out.

Minimejer05 · 03-07-2009, 04:49 PM

The US better atleast get these on Blu. I would love the full Roadshow or a special packaging of both. But I bet its either DVD only.. or just two of them at 30 a pop. No special package

I especially appreciate the black amaray case, has a movie ever been released in black? I know The Incredible Hulk was green, but besides that...

Advent Children also has a black amaray.

I've also seen Akira in the black case (Japan only).

DIRTY MONEY · 04-14-2009, 03:44 AM

I want this to be out already.

Actually, all Sony releases in Japan have been region free so far, except for 2 or 3 titles. If this is region free, I am getting this for sure, this is so classy! But why the hell hasn't it been announced in the USA yet?! Really I just don't get it!

snoman_99 · 03-09-2009, 07:32 PM

WOW hope this is tru this will be a great addition to your blu collections.

definately going to have to import this!

Those black cases look sweet. God, that thing is going to cost a fortune, I can tell. Damn Japan...

It'll be interesting to see if it's released the same way here or if they'll split the two movies up and sell them separately. Didn't they release them in the theaters separately? It was either the U.S. or Latin America where they did that IIRC.

Japan is the same region as USA.... So If you live in the US your good.

One reason why it hasn't been announced on Blu-ray is that it still touring Art House Theaters.... Its coming to my local Theater in 2 weeks. They are showing it in 2 different showings. You have to buy 2 tickets

Superking · 03-10-2009, 01:17 AM

That looks great, but I wish there was the roadshow version on Blu, I know there was an intermission, but The Godfather II was all on one blu, and I'm guessing that It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World's eventual blu release will be the same (hopefully).

<3 that roadshow version.

Yes, I know it's 4 hours, but still.

After searching through the official Sony Japan Blu-Ray website linked in the original article, I have been unable to find the complete listing for this release. It seems all that has been sent out is the (incomplete) press release. Perhaps in a few days they will update their website as well. Until then, I wouldn't get your hopes up regarding this release unless you (and anyone you would like to enjoy this movie with at the same time) can either A: comprehend fluent Spanish, or B: read Japanese at a native level. I meet neither of these criterion, and that is after 7 years living in Japan. It was to my disappointment (but in retrospect it was obvious going in... I just wasn't thinking clearly when I bought my ticket) when I went to see this movie in the Theater here in Tokyo, and about 10 minutes in, I realized I wouldn't be able to follow the dialogue except for the few intermittent spoken English scenes. I'm not entirely familiar with the latest capabilities of the Blu-Ray Format so am unsure if you can "officially" update a BD (using a vanilla off the shelf player that is unhacked) with an English subtitle file, which you would certainly be able to find with the most rudimentary google search.

Two tickets? Thats terrible. I saw this recently and only paid for one admission, although the price was increased to $15. Still, its not double the admission charge (which would have be $22.50) and it included 6 hours of free parking!

If you do manage to see it, you should also get a 34 page special roadshow edition program! Each part receives 17 pages of coverage. Its full of black and white photos by Mary Ellen Mark mixed in amongst all the film credits for both parts. I guess thats why their are no film credits at the end of the movie. I wonder if the 'special book' in the blu-ray release will be taken from the RE program.

Oddly, both parts have different aspect ratios, part 1 appears to be 2:35 and part 2 is 1:85.

DIRTY MONEY · 03-14-2009, 06:35 PM

Got to pick these up, they look awesome!

Octavio · 07-06-2009, 12:12 PM

Importing from Japan is quite expensive however I may consider it since may take a long while before it gets a North American release.

Hopefully it could be released in Latin-America by Sony regardless if it's not released in the USA.
