Tomas Alfredson - Let the Right One In Blu-ray / Låt den rätte komma in + subtitles

[nekromantik]

I sold mine at a £1 loss lol

Now I wait for the fixed release.

[reece]

So I was about to purchase let the right one in the other day until i stumbled across this article about the subtitles....

http://iconsoffright.com/news/2009/0...les_in_to.html

If the differences didn't really effect the movie I wouldn't care..but it looks like they really ****ed this one up. I guess Magnolia has already commited to fixing the problem but I can't seem to find out when..and I really want a copy of this movie. Does anybody have information on when the newly authored discs will show up? thanks

[graf1k]

Wow, I guess it's kind of lucky my copy from Amazon took so long to get here. I'll be sending it right back and waiting for the updated one I guess.

[deadhatetheliving]

Great what a ****ing waste of my time and money. I can't stand dubed movies so this will sit on my shelf til a can con someone into buying it.

If anyone cares, the spanish subtitles in this Blu Ray are mostly direct translations of the english subtitles. So they are f **ed too.

[reece]

sorry i tried searching "let the right one in" in forums and absolutely nothing turned up...I don't know how else to find out if the issue was covered or where to post about it

Thanks for the info, I was wondering if the spanish subs were messed up too, so here's the answer. Thanks again !

There's a new copy? Is there going to be a replacement plan or anything like that? The subtitles are terrible on the current Blu

[Nocturnx99]

as far as ive heard, the studio said they will be releasing the film with the original subs released in theaters, but wont be offering a swap program.

i guess if it says on the back of the box
subtitles: english (theatrical). then u have the newer one with the good subs

[AppleCrumbDlite]

I got my rented copy from netflix the day after it was released. I dont remember them being terrible though

This explains the new disc, as well as the lack of any sort of trade-in or exchange program. The info can be found in the 3/25 entry.

this has been addressed in the main thread,

let the right one in

there has been no indication its been released just yet.

with Nithr gathering info about Magnet re-releasing the film...

and i quote

In other news today, you might recall that we recently reviewed Magnet's Let the Right One In on Blu-ray Disc. Well, it's just come to our attention that the DVD and Blu-ray versions have English subtitles that differ substantially from those of the theatrical art house presentation, in that much of the subtle nuance has been lost and many original lines of dialogue are untranslated entirely. Unfortunately, having only seen the film once in theatres, I wasn't familiar enough with the translation to spot the differences. But Icons of Fright has posted some examples of just how different the subtitles are. We contacted Magnet directly on this issue this afternoon, and they were quick to respond as follows:

"We've been made aware that there are several fans that don't like the version of the subtitles on the DVD/BR. We had an alternate translation that we went with. Obviously a lot of fans thought we should have stuck with the original theatrical version. We are listening to the fans feedback, and going forward we will be manufacturing the discs with the subtitles from the theatrical version."

We asked Magnet some follow-up questions, specifically how people will be able to identify the new discs, when they'll be available in stores and if there will be an exchange program for those who have the existing version. Here's what they said:

"There are no exchanges. We are going to make an alternate version available however. For those that wish to purchase a version with the theatrical subtitles, it will be called out in the tech specs box at the back/bottom of the package where it will list SUBTITLES: ENGLISH (Theatrical), SPANISH."

The no exchange thing is going to upset many that have already purchased the disc, and understandably so. We're at least encouraged to see that the title is being corrected. We'll let you know when the discs are available, and rest assured we're letting Magnet know that an exchange program might be a wise idea...

yeah....that sucks.

a more illicit comparison between the theatrical released subtitle, and the dvd subtitle can be found here...

you can find all the details on the main thread about this movie, linked above to avoid repetitive threads.

[Nocturnx99]

i'd way rather have the original subtitles...i emailed the company about it, who knows maybe someday theyll offer exchanges

[Carnage_007]

Magnolia screwed up the subtitles for this Gem from last year. They changed the subtitles on the bluray/dvd release from what was originally in the theatrical version. Check on the back where it shows subtitles. Make sure it says - English Subtitles / English (theatrical) Subtitles / Spanish Subtitles

If you want to read up more on it check out these posts about it.

[Blodiak]

[fronk777]

What is changing in the re-release? This is definitely on my to-buy list, I've just been waiting for the price to drop.
