The Ninth Gate up for Amazon pre-order! - Blu-ray Forum

Avond · 05-01-2009, 01:01 AM

I apologize if this thread has already been created. I searched and didn't see it, so I thought I would post to express my enthusiasm for the Ninth Gate getting a blu release!

I thought it was a movie that would take a long time to make it to blu....and the preorder is up on Amazon already!

Although it's a guilty pleasure type of movie, rather than a masterpiece, I love it-are there any other fans out there?

I thought they took the best parts of The Club Dumas to make the movie.

As big a fan as I am, you might want to rent it. However if you like movies with a little supernatural or mysterious twist, you might love it too! The Amazon preorder price of 13.99 is certainly within the range where a blind buy might be worth it. No release date listed as of yet, though.

I just saw this for the first time on tv not long ago, very good movie!

Buying this for sure

WongWei · 05-01-2009, 01:26 AM

Avond · 05-01-2009, 01:46 AM

I'm the only one of my friends who has ever even heard of this movie-glad to see so many people like it!

hoosier2007 · 05-01-2009, 01:54 AM

I have seen this one years ago, it was prety good...Ill definetly pick it up..

jc480 · 05-01-2009, 01:57 AM

Frank Langela, eh?

Never heard of this to be honest. The $13.99 pricepoint for a pre-order is good...but there are so many awesome movies in the pipeline...and my wallet is not fat these days.

Congrats to those of you who are fans of this flick : )

The movie has plenty of replay value for me.

Zyclone · 05-01-2009, 02:10 AM

Sweet. Pre-ordered.

I've seen this movie twice already and for some reason it keeps calling me back.

Chrysagon · 05-01-2009, 02:34 AM

I had read the book then saw the movie. Big mistake. I was very disappointed.

BUT... when I saw it later on DVD, I liked it! The book was too complicated to cover all the plot details in the movie, and once I accepted the simpler (and appropriate) plot of the movie, I enjoyed it. I'm a Depp fan. He plays his character very low key, and for me, true to character.

I have it on DVD so I don't know if I'll upgrade -- depends upon the transfer. I've watched this movie several times -- it has good replay value.

Thanks for this post!
I am a huge fan of The Ninth Gate and it's my fav Polanski film which I find myself watching frequently. Love the journey it takes you on.

I wonder when it actually releases...but I don't care, I already pre-ordered it.

Grevlin · 05-01-2009, 03:04 AM

Great movie, serious replay value. I just watched it recently on HD cable, and the PQ was top notch- I'm guessing the blu will be the same.

wnicholas76 · 05-01-2009, 03:05 AM

The movie does have Johnny Depp in it, and it was really good. Roman Polanski's best film since 1968's Rosemary's Baby and 1988's Frantic. Looking forward to buying this on day one!

awx · 05-01-2009, 03:08 AM

This is one of my favorite movies. I honestly think of it as a masterpiece. It's sinister, decadent, lighthearted and adventurous all at the same time.

I am in agreement with Spa, you're best off watching the film before the reading the novel. I'm definitely upgrading from the DVD because the DVD never had English subtitles.

Cinema Squid · 05-01-2009, 03:08 AM

Really the best thing about this is the price - $19.99 MSRP @ $13.99 after the standard 30% discount. The other Lionsgate titles listed at the same time (Chaos, Replicant and See No Evil) also have the same pricing. This is a great price point for catalog titles and hopefully the trend continues.

plenipote · 05-01-2009, 03:27 AM

Very good movie and Depp does a very good job of playing his character, def buy for me!
