Time Bandits 2-disc set coming Spring 2004
From the Anchor Bay website:
Looks like a major improvement over the Criterion disc. 
TIME BANDITS - Spring 2004
From director Terry Gilliam (12 MONKEYS, MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL) comes this fantasy adventure which is one of the most delighfully twisted of its kind. Featuring a brand-new DiviMax approved 16x9 widescreen transfer, this 2-Disc Set will include new interviews with Terry Gilliam and writer/star Michael Palin, trailers, screenplay, and a 60 minute Terry Gilliam career retrospective featuring interviews with the many actors from this director's eclectic years as a filmmaker. Closed Captioned For The Hearing Impaired.

I wonder if this is the same thing that's out on the AFI Director's Series DVD.

Will this version actually be an improvement over the Criterion edition? I have a list of Criterion dvd's I'd like to pick up and this is on there, but if this new set will be superior then forget it, I'll wait.

new interviews with Terry Gilliam and writer/star Michael Palin
Also, note that the specs for this upcoming AB disc make no mention of the Criterion commentary with Gilliam, Palin, Cleese, and others (which is present on the R2 disc, as well). If this new release doesn't have the commentary, the Criterion and the R2 discs will still be very much worth owning.

No, this probably has no bearing on the status of Criterion's edition. Anchor Bay has already had a bare-bones edition that was in-print simultaneously with Criterion's. I assume these 2 can live together peacefully without the Criterion going OOP.

This is great news! I've already got the CC, but this'll make a good complement! And with the current trend of rereleased SE's, hopefully it'll come with a low (under $29.99 MSRP).

This again proves my point that Anchor Bay is the best kick ass DVD label out there, I always felt they are superiro to criterion, and again, they beat Criterion with their superiro extras!

I'm surprised that AB didn't license the commentary, though I can see why Criterion wouldn't (the DVD is still in print, right?).
Criterion did license out the Halloween commentary from the laserdisc, not to mention the comm for Columbia's Holy Grail DVD, so I'm told.
Guess I'll have to pick this new version up, and have my cousin in England make a tape of the commentary for me.
Yes, they're tears of blood... of joy.
