excellent news!

I will never forget the scene where they take the mother for a walk. I watched this many years ago when i was younger and it's stayed with me.

ghostsofjoy · 09-25-2011, 02:07 AM

Yes! Fantastic news!

Unless it's just a port of the Alliance disc in which case it will be 1080i and in wrong aspect ratio.

ragingbull · 09-25-2011, 01:55 PM

Finally! What a great film, hopefully it'll be done right!

Tshoffie · 09-25-2011, 05:54 PM

Love this movie and i definately would love to get a copy of it on blu ray

FalconHoof · 09-25-2011, 05:56 PM

Got the UK release coming my way as we speak - will let you know if its region free

Cactus · 09-25-2011, 06:57 PM

The cover says Miramax, and the Canadian disc is also Miramax. One could assume the same transfer, but Peccadillo did say they had a US distributor talking to them about licensing their transfer.

Aragorn22 · 09-25-2011, 08:49 PM

About damn time! I've wanted this masterpiece to come out on Blu-ray for years now. Nice Christmas present on Peter Jackson's part. The cover art - assuming it is final - is interesting. Anyone know if there will be special features? I sure hope so...

Pumpkin Pasties · 09-25-2011, 10:49 PM

I am so, so glad it is the uncut version! Now, I want the original aspect ratio and some bonus features too!

Lionsgate is now Miramax and vice versa.

Heavenly Creatures. Good thing I didn't jump on the Canadian release since it's been out for a while.

MTRodaba2468 · 10-22-2011, 05:03 PM

I'd gladly pick up Heavenly Creatures.

jrmac2000 · 01-09-2012, 10:22 PM

A quick look over at dvdcompare.net shows several different runtimes over several regions ranging from 99 to 109 minutes. I have never seen the theatrical cut, but 10 minutes does not seem like to much difference IMO.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies; I grew up watching it and loving it. I missed out on getting the Blu-ray, and really wish it would get a new release. I'd love to see the Criterion Collection give it the proper treatment it deserves. I'm not really willing to spent upward of $50 on the Miramax Blu-ray, especially given that it has no bonus features, so I'm clinging to the DVD edition for the foreseeable future (unless I happen to come across a reasonably-priced Blu-ray).
