Mm-hmm. I always enjoy hearing new info reguarding dvd releases and what each contain etc. I often do searches and find that not all sites give us all the dvd releases. Always see something pop up in the store and think "gee, now why didnt that site mention this one". Anyways, the more the merrier for me. :)

This is a great thread JRs, thank you for the hard work and time.

I was wondering what you think about the Blue ray/Hd-dvd technology and if you have any "insider" knowledge of release dates of players and media. Every place I look is different in their thoughts and dates. I know that High def Tv is an amazing thing to watch in comparison to regular tv, but it is costly. What will these new DVDs cost? Any input would be great..Thanks.

I know all about that.

Anyhoo, I reported DVD news for the media for over almost over a year and I know what I am talking about. The 14-Disc Superman Box Set will be put out Tuesday, June 27th - the week of the theatrical release of "Superman Returns". Along with a collaboration of a bunch of other Superman releated DVD titles.

As for the documentary "Look Up in the Sky", it will be released first June 20th and then on the 27th with the collection.



http://www.sneakpeektv.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/showletter.jpg
I've been reporting for www.dvdfanatic.com (http://www.dvdfanatic.com) for almost three years, and have access to all the press sites and it's my job to be scanning DVD news daily. It will not be coming out on June 27.

For one thing, this is a very high-profile release, yet Warner hasn't made a peep about it. It's 6 weeks away. For pre-orders and such to come in on time, and for all the coverage to file away, they'd need to have announced it by now. And they have, in that link I posted, saying it's coming out in Q4.

Another thing, which you even showed, is how your "early information" indicates that Superman Returns will be part of the 14 disc set. Surely, you would not think Warner would release its biggest title of the year on DVD 4 days before its theatrical debut.

As well, most of the Superman products (the animated series, the Lois and Clark series, the old 1950's series, the "Up in the Sky" documentary), are being released a week before, on June 20, a week and a half before Returns.

As well, in their frequent talks with the WB PR, the incredibly reliable www.thedigitalbits.com (http://www.thedigitalbits.com) had mentions of the Superman box set from them months ago, indicating that it would be released in the fall, alongside Returns.

If anything, there will be an HD only box set on the 27, with the original 4 films and some extras (and not Returns), with the standard DVD box set to come in the fall alongside Returns, and even more TV series releases.

If I need any more reasoning, let me know. In the meantime, I'd love to know how you know without a shadow of a doubt that a 14-disc box set, with Returns included in it, would be released only days before the theatrical release of Returns. Call me curious.

The folks over at SupermanCinema.com (http://www.supermancinema.co.uk/) have shared the early specs (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showpost.php?p=326016&postcount=7) for the set. If you're curious.
Those specs are not complete which is why I mentioned so in my earlier post (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showpost.php?p=326016&postcount=7).

I have no doubt in what you are stating and what you and The Digital Bits report, for I am sure you know what you're talking about. I am just reporting news that I have reported/received.

Full Details (http://dvdinvasion.typepad.com/news/) on the Unaltered Star Wars Trilogy 2-Disc Set. :cool: In regards to the new Star Wars DVDs, I found this rant off of TheDigitalBits.com to be interesting, and completely discouraged me from buying up the new DVDs....

Well... it seems we've started a bit of a firestorm with this business we posted yesterday about the original versions of the Star Wars films on the forthcoming (9/12) DVD release being offered in non-anamorphic widescreen video only. So be it. Sometimes, you have to call it like you see it. The news is absolutely true by the way. We've confirmed it specifically with reps of both Lucasfilm and Fox. It is no rumor.

By the way, for those of you who don't know what anamorphic means on DVD, we refer you to our in-depth guide (http://www.thedigitalbits.com/articles/anamorphic/welcome.html) on the subject.

What you will, in fact, be getting on the second disc in each of these new 2-disc sets (unless something changes dramatically and soon) are transfers of the original films that were done for the 1993 "definitive collection" laserdisc box set release. (By way of confirmation, Lucasfilm's Jim Ward had this to say about the transfers in the recent USA Today story (http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2006-05-03-star-wars_x.htm): "It is state of the art, as of 1993, and that's not as good as state of the art 2006.") Great. Thanks. Swell.

So the transfers, and the technology used to produce them, are MORE than a decade old. Of course, they're going to be digitally cleaned up a bit, and even a non-anamorphic transfer is going to look better in digital video on DVD than the same transfer would when presented on an analog laserdisc. Colors are going to bleed less, detail will be a little sharper. There's also apparently an additional bit of tweaking being done, because Episode IV will feature the original 1977 version of the opening crawl (sans the "Episode IV" text) which has NEVER been released on home video before, save for in excerpted form in the 2004 Empire of Dreams DVD documentary (which, we feel strangely compelled to point out, WAS ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN). In any case, the bottom line is that the transfers we're getting on DVD are old and they're non-anamorphic. The video resolution and quality is going to pale in comparison to the look of most other widescreen films on DVD.

A lot of people have been e-mailing us asking why Lucasfilm doesn't simply do new anamorphic, high-definition transfers of these versions of the films. Well... after confirming and posting the non-anamorphic information yesterday, we started making follow-up calls to various experts and industry insiders... you know, just to figure out what the hell was really going on. Were we crazy in feeling a little outraged about this? Was this really just a half-assed effort designed to milk Star Wars fans yet again? What was the real reason for the lack of new anamorphic transfers?

It's been reported previously that when Lucas went back to the original negatives of the Star Wars films in the mid 1990s, they were found to be in bad shape. Such bad shape, in fact, that had they not been restored immediately, the films could have been lost forever. So restoration is exactly what Lucas had done. Except that when he was creating the new 1997 Special Edition versions of the films... he cut the original negatives. So the original negatives of the theatrical versions no longer exist. Okay, we knew that. But what's the big deal? What about the original interpositive prints? What about high-quality release prints? Why can't Lucasfilm just use either of those elements to do a new transfer for DVD?

Well... at the same time as he was preparing the 1997 versions, Lucas apparently went on a little tear and recalled every release print of the theatrical versions that he could get his hands on, and he had them all destroyed. Which means that when Lucas said back in 1997 that the original theatrical versions of the Star Wars films no longer existed, he was serious. He apparently tried hard to make sure of it.

Nonetheless (and thankfully), we know for a FACT that beautiful dye transfer prints of the original versions of the films still exist in private hands, and that additional copies are preserved in a number of film archives around the world. What's more, Lucas would have been foolhardy if he didn't keep the original interpositives carefully stored in a climate-controlled vault for preservation's sake. Come on... of course he did. No one is THAT stupid that they'd just trash all the original elements of the films that made them rich beyond the dreams of avarice. In any case, neither the man himself nor senior Lucasfilm executives are willing to admit to that they exist, because as Lucas has said many times in the past, "They no longer exist."

So what are we left with? Either the films truly don't exist anymore, so it simply isn't possible to give them to you in state of the art quality (unlikely in the extreme, despite public and private statements to the contrary)... or Lucasfilm DOES have copies of the original versions in their vaults, and they're just unwilling (or too damn cheap) to spend the money to give them to you in state of the art quality... yet.

If the former is true, there can be no future anamorphic release of the original versions on DVD, and there can be no high-def release on the new Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD formats. Laserdisc is as good as it will ever get for those original theatrical cuts. If, on the other hand, the latter is true (and we believe it is)... Lucasfilm's greed is truly boundless.

Bottom line: This notion that Lucasfilm is doing the fans a favor by finally giving them the original versions on DVD in 2006... but in 1993 laserdisc quality... is baloney. In fact, it's unacceptable. Even though most of them probably don't even know what anamorphic means on DVD, or why they should care about it, the fact remains that the fans are getting bilked. We hate to say it, because we've known many of the folks at Lucasfilm for years now. But someone HAS to say it. It needs to be said. Lucasfilm can and should do better. Who knows? Maybe they're already planning to do better for the 30th Anniversary of the original Star Wars next year... and this is just one more bite at the pie in the meantime.

In regards to the new Star Wars DVDs, I found this rant off of TheDigitalBits.com to be interesting, and completely discouraged me from buying up the new DVDs....

...this business we posted yesterday about the original versions of the Star Wars films on the forthcoming (9/12) DVD release being offered in non-anamorphic widescreen video only. So be it. Sometimes, you have to call it like you see it. The news is absolutely true by the way. We've confirmed it specifically with reps of both Lucasfilm and Fox. It is no rumor.

Video director Chris Robinson makes his feature debut, guiding an ensemble that includes newcomers Tip Harris (aka rapper T.I.), Lauren London and Antwan Andre Patton (aka Big Boi of the duo OutKast).

Yeah, but you'd still think that Lucas and Co. wouldn't be so cheap to not give us anamorphic transfers. On one hand, he's finally caving in and giving the fans what they want, but on the other, he's still screwing them over.

I'll wait for the uber-special box set that will probably come around next year.

Complete "Slither" DVD Specs



DVD commentary by Writer/director/James Gunn myself and Nathan Fillion.
Deleted scenes, including the infamous Grant Grant meat filing scene, Grant Grant's speech to Brenda about how he loves to be human, "Starla and the inchworm", and many more. All these scenes also feature commentary.
Extended scenes, including the full porch scene between Bill and Starla, Kylie's more complete explanation of "The Long One," the full scene in the butcher shop with Grant Grant, and much more. These scenes also feature commentary.
The Gag Reel -- in which you can see just a hint of how many takes Elizabeth Banks screwed up by laughing.
"Who is Bill Pardy?" - this was a surprise we made for Nathan at the wrap party, in which the cast and crew essentially roasted him. I asked Nathan if he was cool with it being on the DVD, and he was... so... watch us brutally make fun of him...
"The Sick Minds and Slimy Days of SLiTHER" - A very in-depth, very well done documentary on the making of SLiTHER, featuring the whole cast and crew. I honestly couldn't be happier with this thing.
"Bringing SLiTHER's Creatures to Life" - a documentary on the prosthetics and CGI effects in the movie. Also wonderful.
"Slithery Set Tour with Nathan Fillion"
VFX Progressions, from start to finish, featuring kickass music by The Raymakers.
"The King of Cult: Lloyd Kaufman's On-Set Video Diary" - see the President of Troma Entertainment and the creator of the Toxic Avenger (and my old boss) find himself lost in the world of Hollywood with his cameo role in SLiTHER.
"The Gorehound Grill: Brewin' the Blood" - a short how-to-make-your-own-blood-and-slime video.

But now, those foundations are crumbling, eaten away by corruption and excess. After eight years of war, two soldiers, Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo unwittingly become entwined in the historical events of ancient Rome.

Medium: The Complete Second Season on DVD October 3rd


Paramount Home Entertainment will be releasing the second season of the chilling NBC television series Medium, which stars Patricia Arquette, Jake Weber and Miguel Sandoval onto DVD. All twenty two episodes of season two will spread across six-discs and presented in Anamorphic Widescreen, along with English Dolby Digital Surround Sound 5.1 audio tracks. Full specs and details are listed below. The set will be available to own when it hits store shelves October 3, 2006.

From Emmy Award-winning executive producer, creator and director Glenn Gordon Caron ("Moonlighting") comes "Medium," a chilling drama series inspired by the real-life story of research medium Allison DuBois. Emmy winner Patricia Arquette ("Stigmata," "Flirting with Disaster") stars as a young wife and mother who, since childhood, has been struggling to make sense of her dreams and visions of dead people. Arquette received the Emmy in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category after the telecast of the initial 16 episodes of the critically acclaimed series. Allison DuBois (Arquette) is a strong-willed young mother of three, a devoted wife and law student who begins to suspect that she can talk to dead people, see the future in her dreams and read people's thoughts. Fearing for her mental health, she turns for support to her husband Joe (Jake Weber, "U-571"), an aerospace engineer, who slowly comes to believe that what his wife is telling him just might be true. The real challenge is convincing her boss, D.A. Devalos (Miguel Sandoval) -- and the other doubters in the criminal justice system -- that her psychic abilities can give them the upper hand when it comes to solving violent and horrifying crimes whose mysteries often reside with those who live beyond the grave.
Sofia Vassilieva and Maria Lark also star as Ariel and Bridgette, the two eldest DuBois children. This season, David Cubitt ("10.5") becomes a series regular in the role of Detective Lee Scanlon.

In a new interview over at The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/columns/grove_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002614570), Superman Returns director Brian Singer talks in-depth about how he came to be involved in bringing the Man of Steel back to the big screen, and reveals a little bit about what you might expect to find on the November DVD & HD-DVD release of the film. According to Singer, all of the online "weblogs" that have been posted on BlueTights.net (http://www.bluetights.net/) will be included. Though he's yet to decide for sure, Singer may also include a major deleted sequence from the film. He's also preparing something called the In-Movie Experience (this would be for the HD-DVD version - watch for a similar feature on the yet-to-be-announced Batman Begins HD-DVD) where you can watch behind-the-scenes video on the making of the film in a windowbox while you're watching the film itself.

What does the number 4 featurette involve?


To be honest I do not know.... it hasn't really been revealed. Paramount hasn't given me any thorough info on that, nor have I seen the back of the case.

I haven't seen the movie, but I assume it may be something to do with Spike Lee, or something related to the "number 4" in the film..

EDIT: I take it back. I'm going to say it probably is a feature on Denzel Washington and Spike Lee's relationship, as this appears to be their fourth movie together (others being Malcolm X, He Got Game, and Mo' Better Blues).

Sounds right to me. Though I'm interested myself about that extra on the disc. I'm kinda contact Universal directly and see if they can answer that. (I doubt it though :p )

I dunno, it seems like a plausible idea, at least, from my standpoint having not seen the film.

Plus, Universal just finished releasing a Spike Lee DVD set, so it would make sense to have a continued feature on the man and one of his fave actors...

True.

From just checking Universal's press site, it was released March 7th with Clockers, Crooklyn, Do the Right Thing, Jungle Fever and Mo' Better Blues.

Continuing our coverage (http://www.dvdfanatic.com/news.php?id=0606165) from last week, New Line Home Entertainment has fully announced their upcoming "Infinifilm" edition of the classic horror film, A Nightmare on Elm Street.

The film, released in 1984, was written and directed by horror sensation Wes Craven and starred Robert Englund (in the role that catapulted him into stardom, Freddy Krueger), Heather Langenkamp and a young actor named Johnny Depp.

Available on September 26, 2006, the film will come with a digitally remastered Widescreen presentation, and a $26.99 retail price. Included is:

Feature-Length "Audio Essays" by Writer/Director Wes Craven, Actor Robert Englund, Actor Heather Langenkamp and More!
"Never Sleep Again" Making-Of Documentary
"The House that Freddy Built" New Line Legacy Documentary
"Night Terrors" Film Origins Documentary
Exclusive Nightmare Video Clips
"Freddy's Coming for You" Trivia Challenge Feature

There are no Trailers listed on the Press Release, but we feel it's a safe bet that at least one should show up in some shape or form (maybe in the enigmatic "video clips" section?).

We'll be sure to let you know of any further news on this release, should it come up.

My first thought was "Oy, they've gone the way of Star Wars already!"

But it seems to me these discs would be worth it. It would definetley be nice to have the entire extended editions on one disc per film, and those new documentaries sound quite tasty.

And in the case that i actually have $$ when they're released, some sort of Weta statue extra would be cool, like they did with the extended editions.

Thanks, jrs. Keep up updated!

The restored and remastered DVD version of the 1992 Director's Cut will debut in September in the U.S. for a special four-month limited release, after which it will be placed on moratorium by WHV.

Then later in 2007, to celebrate the film's 25th anniversary, the studio will unveil "Blade Runner: The Final Cut," Scott's definitive new version of his science-fiction masterpiece. The film will be released theatrically in select major U.S. cities, followed by a multi-disc Special Edition DVD release which will also contain three alternate versions of Blade Runner: the Original U.S. Theatrical Cut, the Expanded International Theatrical Cut and the 1992 Director's Cut. Ample, ground-breaking bonus features will also be included.

Christopher Reeve Superman Collection November 28th - Complete Details

In celebration of the year of Superman Warner Home Video have announced a host of DVD releases to be released November 28th, all starring the late Christopher Reeve in his landmark portrayal of the Man of Steel. Leading the way will be the long-awaited Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut ($24.98 SRP), directed by Donner and representing Superman II as it was originally conceived [and intended to be filmed. An overwhelmingly requested title, the movie features Donner's original footage, shot but never used before, including a never-before-seen beginning, a never-before-seen resolution, with 15 minutes of restored footage of Marlon Brando as Jor-El and much more.


Other titles to be released include Superman: The Movie Four Disc Special Edition ($39.92 SRP) which features both the DVD debut of the 1978 theatrical version as well as the 2001 extended edition with commentary from director Richard Donner and Tom Mankiewicz, archival footage of additional scenes and screen tests.


Richard Lester's ever-popular Superman II will be available in a new Two Disc Special Edition ($26.99 SRP) including a new featurette, vintage television specials and additional vault elements; and Superman III and Superman IV Deluxe Editions ($19.97 SRP). Finally, The Christopher Reeve Superman Collection ($79.92 SRP) will be offered in an 8-disc boxed set including all the above (except Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut).

http://theblogaddict.com/uploads/j/js0512/3124.jpg


Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut


Superman II will delight fans who, for years, have been imploring Warner Home Video via voluminous numbers of petitions, letters, phone calls and e-mails to release the Donner cut.

In fact, Donner had already shot most of the Superman II footage during Superman: The Movie. But as production on the sequel continued, creative differences between the director and the film's producers became irreconcilable and Donner left the project. Although Richard Lester was hired to finish production, he chose to make major changes to the film, leaving only vestiges of Donner's original vision and concepts in the version of Superman II that was ultimately released to theaters.


Now, nearly thirty years later, Warner Home Video is honoured to grant the wishes of countless Superman fans. With this DVD release, Richard Donner has become the first director in history to be able to complete a film he left during production with nearly all his footage "in the can." Adding back a substantial amount of that unused footage, the director has seen his original vision restored and brought to fruition.


Most notably, the "Donner cut" restores the Marlon Brando role, filmed for, but not included in the final theatrical release version of Superman II. The legendary Brando's performance as Jor-El has finally been restored in key scenes that amplify Superman lore and deepen the profound relationship between father and son.


With so many other changes, large and small, including a variety of Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) schemes to unmask Clark Kent as Superman, this Superman II will prove to be an eye-opening experience and an important addition to film history.


DVD features include:

English Dolby Digital 5.1
English, French & Spanish Subtitles (feature film only)
All new introduction by director Richard Donner
Commentary by director Richard Donner and creative consultant Tom Mankiewicz
New featurette Superman II: Restoring the Vision
Additional scenes


Access Hollywood showed clips from the Donner cut, which you can view here (http://video.accesshollywood.com/player.html?dlid=24948).

Superman: The Movie (1978/2001) Four-Disc Special Edition


A box-office smash, an Academy Award(R) winner and a fan favourite since it first flew into theatres in December 1978, Superman: The Movie assembles an "A List" cast and creative contingent. At its heart is Christopher Reeve's intelligent, affectionate portrayal of a most human Man of Steel.


The movie's legacy was amplified when director Richard Donner revisited this beloved adventure 22 years later and integrated eight minutes into the film. Enjoy more footage of the Krypton Council, a glimpse of stars of prior Superman incarnations, more of Jor-El underscoring his son's purpose on Earth and an extended sequence inside Lex Luthor's gauntlet of doom.

well I'll have to let you know what I thought about it, when it ever does get over to an R1 distribution

Get yourself a multi-region dvd player, or do what i used to do before i got a multi region player for region 1 discs, I just copied the disc (i believe this to be legal as you are allowed to back up dvd's provided you own the original) i think the program was called dvd shrink or something like that, it was freeware anyway, and the copy you make should be region free and work on any player. (please check the laws regarding this in your area though) or with some dvd players there are codes you can program in to yor dvd player to make it region free, these are widely available online (just use google and you'll find them no problem, and again please check the law regarding this) or the only other option is to chip your player, as you would with a ps2 to play imported games,
or if you have a ps2 you can use an Action Replay or Xploder disc to disable the region coding on the console.
As i have stated i'm unsure about the law regarding any of these method's in the U.S so please check them and also check if any of these thing's can damage your equipment or invalidate your warranty (i don't believe any of them can damage equipment but you never know!!)

...i think the program was called dvd shrink or something like that, it was freeware anyway...

Yeah, that's the program. If the disc doesn't automatically specify a region when you open it up, when you go to copy it, it will ask you to, so you will need to find another program that allows you to make the disc region free.

Just spoke 2 a m8 of mine and he said that in the current version of DVD Shrink there is an option to set the region code you want, it's in a menu you can pull up before you encode the dvd on the re-author setting, If it doesn't automatically make it region free, also the recode option in Nero does the same job but dvd shrink is better and more reliable then Nero.
He is normally pretty good with his info so give it a go with any dvd you have that isn't in your particular region

Kind of new here - Has anyone seen Conversations With Other Women? Trailer looks good and I know the DVD comes out today. Is it worth a rent or buy?

Theres a new Dukes of Hazzard movie coming out sometime this year according do IMDB, it's a prequel to the original show and has a pretty decent cast. April Scott is playing daisy duke, one of my favorite actors christopher mcdonald is playing boss hogg which is awesome IMO. I saw willie nelson had a role as well which should be funny, i've only seen willie in short cameos in movies myself.
