Yeah, actually.

I always use DVDCompare when I'm making a purchase to ensure I have the most 'complete' version available; sometimes this means double-dipping if the 'complete' lacks lossless audio or video or is cut, etc., but that website is Olympus-sent in its usefulness. Since I've known of it, it's been my go-to.

Here you can compare for yourself, though be advised, it's really just the soccer match footage (included on its own) that I would considered worthy (the other exclusive extra is just a Q&A with Coppola, but it's just okay). Oh, and there's extended coverage of Coppola meeting the students who wrote him the letter that convinced him to do the film in the first place, if that interests you.

That is why I kept my dvd of the film.

Me too but I'm glad to own the Theatrical Cut in HD when I bought it from itunes for $4.99. Waited and Waited for that price it's also Movies Anywhere which means it's also on my Vudu and Fandango Now.

Same deal with Roman Holiday, bought the HD digital on itunes but after 15 years they finally released on bluray which I bought! and then redeemed the code on Vudu since it's Paramount.

Will a 4K of The Outsiders both cuts be released? Well since Roman Holiday [and even Just One Of The Guys and Ice Castles came out on bluray] nothing's impossible!

I don't know what possessed them to change the soundtrack to this movie in the Director's Cut.

Just checking for any updates.

Coppola wanted a more period accurate soundtrack and never really liked his father's score for this movie. So it was changed for this version. And I say this as someone who mostly prefers the Complete Novel version, the music changed was a bad idea.

[XavierTheaterPotato]

I'm not gonna on another tirade about the music choice for the Complete Novel edition because it's so stupidly absurd. The Complete novel is superior, but god the music choice is so dumb, and that he didn't like his Father's score for the movie is kinda disrespectful.

Seems like the French release also has an additional 20 minutes 'Interview with Diane Lane'???

That alone would make me double-dip

[Bernardo A.]

Day one for me.

Never watched the theatrical cut though. Let's hope it includes both.

This will cost an arm and a leg to import probably

Hehehe, yeah, totally spaced on that. It's an extended interview from the one featured in Staying Gold (obviously vintage, as she looks about 12 in the interview, haha).

I thought it was a good purchase, but do keep in mind, as with most French releases, it is incredibly non English-friendly (with, ugh, forced subtitles on all extras).

Worth it just for the original WB logo included though (the old school one Coppola used with the Complete Novel edit; it's missing from Warner's Blu-ray, since they looooove to paste their newest logos onto everything under the sun).

Good stuff. I've purchased the French bluray to sit alongside my US bluray, UK bluray and eventually the new 4K UHD. Cheers matey - and thanks for confirming the extras on the French one including the Diane Lane interview.

[oubukibun]

Sure thing, mate, no worries.

Being helpful is a rent-free thing, haha.

Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio star in THE OUTSIDERS - YouTube

Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 coming-of-age classic, THE OUTSIDERS THE COMPLETE NOVEL, based on S.E Hinton's classic novel, has been stunningly restored. This very special collector’s edition includes both the original and complete Novel version in glorious 4K for the first time, overseen and approved by Coppola himself.

In 1966 Tulsa, teenagers come two ways. If you’re a “Soc,” you’ve got money, cars, a future. But if you’re a “Greaser,” you’re an outsider with only your friends...and a dream that someday you’ll finally belong. Francis Ford Coppola’s powerful film THE OUTSIDERS: THE COMPLETE NOVEL captures how it feels to be caught between childhood’s innocence and adulthood’s disillusionment. The ensemble is a Who’s Who of young talents of the past two decades: Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, C. Thomas Howell, Diane Lane, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe and Ralph Macchio. Movingly and in an intensely visual style, Coppola has made these street rats and their struggle heroic – and unforgettable.

Includes Original soundtrack CD, 64-page booklet, x 2 posters from artist Tony Stella, 5 artcards from James Hamilton photography, 'Stay Gold' pin badge

I’ll probably be in the minority, but for the “floating heads” style, I really like that artwork.

Now why doesn’t the U.S. ever get these big fancy box set editions for 4K releases?!

[Surge92]

And it doesn't look like it's teal city, based on the trailer. Nice.
