Cold Mountain on Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

ftwhite03 · 12-12-2009, 04:04 AM

I see that Amazon does not sell new copies of Cold Mountain anymore. What happened there? Has the studio stopping making this? I love this movie and would like to purchase it, any ideas on where to get it?

cojake · 12-12-2009, 05:11 AM

I bought mine on ebay. It was a Canadian import.

Who's naked in that movie? Nicole Kidman or Rene Zellweger? Oh wait, isn't Natalie Portman in it as well?

cojake · 12-12-2009, 05:37 AM

Mostly Nicole naked.

Too bad it wasn't Natalie.

Is the Interweb's only store Amazon?

It is in stock at INetVideo.com for $15.99. Yes, you have to pay for shipping unlike Amazon. At least its available and here is a link.

INetVideo.com is very reliable and this is a good price.

Also available at Barnes and Noble.com for $28.79.

Sorry, I am a bit of a newb here. Will the Canadian version play on my player that I bought in the U.S.?

steve_dave · 12-12-2009, 07:11 AM

Yes. It will play fine. US, Canada, Japan, and Southeast Asia are all the same region. This movie is also only available as a release in Canada. There is no US release yet.

Cold Mountain Blu-ray

Movies from countries in Region A (Red in the picture) will play in your Region A player

Ah thanks a lot. That really helps!

I normally wouldn't post, but I would suggest that care be taken with Cold Mountain on BD, as it is technically "joined at the hip" with Gangs of New York in terms of quality.

Same studio, same post facility, same horrific quality on SD, followed by horrific BD on GoNY.

Please ensure that BD quality is in place before purchasing.

It is not the finest Blu I own, but it looks a lot better then my DVD version. I love the movie and my mife loves it too. It was worth the double dip to me.

LaserD · 12-13-2009, 01:54 AM

There have been plenty of great sales for the Canadian release of Cold Mountain, but I have resisted the urge, despite having it in my hands several times from the sale rack at Best Buy. Bonus features are a big draw for me, and the SD DVD issue had plenty of them, including a great concert and on-stage discussion from the late Anthony Minghella. The Can BD has no bonus features.

So, for me, I either have to buy the DVD for the bonus features and double dip for the BD, or wait for a second international reissue with (presumably) the bonus features included.

Mr. Harris, since Gangs of New York is being remastered by Disney, is there any chance that this one will be revisited soon too?

masoud90 · 12-13-2009, 04:56 PM

Wow this movie is soooo good. I want it!!!

ftwhite03 · 03-11-2010, 04:38 AM

Thanks Mr. Harris. I guess I will wait for the inevitable release of the U.S. version. Hopefully the quality will be better.

SeattleDucks · 03-23-2010, 08:22 AM

I picked it up from inetvideo and watched it a few months back - really enjoyed the movie and the picture quality was plenty good enough to not be a distraction to me. Glad to own this one.

recS-12 · 03-23-2010, 08:33 AM

Fine movie, took it's time to tell the story. Didn't have a sugarcoated ending, which I love.

HD_Aficionado · 09-10-2011, 11:36 AM

BUMP!

Are there any problems with the US-american rights (Miramax->Lionsgate)? Or what takes them so long to release this movie?
