Any info on 'Get Carter'???

[HotRats]

I'd be surprised if Warners only issue a DVD.

Some trivia for fans: Ted Lewis other Carter books remain stubbornly out of print but are well worth a read if you find them, Jack Carter And The Mafia Pigeon and Jack Carter's Law. The original novel Jack's Return Home is told in the first person and Carter is even more unpleasant and callous and the setting is even more squalid and grimy. All of Ted Lewis books are well worth reading but the only one I know of adapted to film is Plender which was made into Le Serpent, a pretty good thriller but not available on blu even in France.

There was a reproduction of the script signed by Mike Hodges published in a limited edition of 500, these turn up on ebay but make sure it comes with the original plastic folder.

Any reissue should go back to the US one sheet for cover art http://www.movieposterstudio.com/det...temNumber=1011 German posters for the film are very nice but the one sheet is one of my favourites for any film, bit pricey these days though.

Steve Chibnall's book on the film is excellent http://www.amazon.co.uk/Get-Carter-B...0&sr=1-2-fkmr0 I'm afraid you've missed the 40th anniversary screening last month but the trailer for it was on the website in HD so that looks like a good sign for a blu.
