Looking forward to it. I haven't watched the film all the way through yet so I'll be in for a treat I reckon with this.

ShellOilJunior · 11-09-2011, 11:30 PM

I can't wait. Peter O'Toole's performance is my favorite.

Last time I saw it was a 35mm print about 2 years ago. The next time I see it will be on blu-ray

The new 70mm DTS print screened in bradford on the flat screen this year was
the new colourtimed version , the contrast was a bit off at times with some
neg marks, but the new DTS track sounded great.

it's a blu-ray, there's no way it'll be spread over two discs.

I hope they do a Ultimate Collectors Edition thats numbered (i.e. -- Ben Hur, Sound of Music, etc...) if they only put out a single BD that they don't use the cover thats posted

4th/June/2012 may be the release date for Lawrence of Arabia.

I shall keep the thread updated and post when it's available to pre-order etc (unless someone beats me to it).

KrugerIndustrial · 12-19-2011, 01:45 PM

I'm going to import this one from the US. Hopefully it'll be released sooner there.

yojoeski · 12-19-2011, 03:47 PM

Given the list price, I wonder if we'll have another Ben-Hur situation where the US will get a giant "box-o-swag" to go with their discs and the UK will get all the disc based content without all the extra useless junk that would come with it. Ben-Hur is about the same price I think and LOA specifically lists itself as "Region Free" and I think Amazon UK is doing this because they believe they'll get a lot of orders like they did with Ben-Hur and they're prepared for it this time.

14.74 GBP shipped to the U.S. If it came out today, it would cost $22.70. I put in a preorder to lock in that price, expecting it to go up in the future. Maybe I'll cancel it if a U.S. release is announced, maybe not.
