What hapened to Goodfellas: SE???
For the longest time, it was slated for either September or October 12, and it was reportedly in the late stages of production in the spring(Henry Hill was quoted as having just recorded the commentary back then) but now it seems not to be even a blip on the radar. I thought for sure it'd be out for the holidays, but now it seems to be MIA. Any word on this one?(and post police, I do apologize, I searched and did the FAQ thing and it was devoid of Goodfellamation)

I'm sure that it'll be out before Christmas. Especially since it's "ugly cousin" Scarface is finally coming.

You might could double or triple the value if you describe it as an "OOP double-sided original!" "Own Goodfellas as it was FIRST seen on DVD!"
Or not...I can't wait for this SE. I never re-bought the original after mine got stolen. Now, if WB will get to work on an SE for Sleepers I'll be happy...

I also have been wondering what happened to the "Goodfellas" SE
I thought I read somewhere (possibly here) that it was also supposed to be part of a Scorsese Box Set. Other rumored titles in the set were, I think, "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" (finally!) and a very early De Niro starrer titled, I believe, "Greetings." Although I'm not completely positive on those last two titles. But I know I did read a Box Set was to be released before the holidays.

"Goodfellas" was a brilliant film. Next to "The Godfather" I & II, I believe it's the greatest gangster/crime film ever made.
All's I gotta say about "Scarface" is...

Back on topic - Warner seems to have slipped on their SE's they announced, since The Outsiders is long overdue as well.

This movie is the most thrilling, revolting, surprsing, and gruesome gangster movie EVER MADE. And unlike Goodfellas, which was taken straight from the book with 0 originality, Scarface is 100% original. Goodfellas was a good movie, but in all honesty, Goodfellas is subpar Scarface.

I'd rather a Soprano's episode than Scarface.

Scarface had a totally original screenplay, and the main IDEA was taken from Howard Hanks Scarface. That's a real far cry from making a movie straight out of the book. When will you babies learn? I should slap you all for making such a ridiculous comment.
