V For Vendetta DVD! (8/1/06 - merged)

Saw this last night...one of the best I've seen in years.

WB was there guaging audience reaction and a lot of us had to fill out cards. One of the questions was "would you buy this movie for $19.95 or less on DVD when it comes out?"

Answer? In a heartbeat....if it's on Blu-Ray. This is one movie I cannot WAIT to have in my collection.

Well with heavy discounts, you can usually find new release DVDs for less than $19.95!?

Aside from displaying fanboyish-like excessiveness, none that I can see.

Considering i didn't even know it was based on a comic book until I was online to see the movie, I wouldn't call me a fanboy. I hadn't even seen a trailer.

But I figured i'd mention that the question was on the questionaire I had to fill out for WB after the movie.

Yeah, I was worried that Warner Brothers may not release this movie. I'm glad to know that if I miss it in the theaters that it will be out on DVD and for the possible low price of $19.95 at that!

Anybody hear about preorders yet?
Features?

What was WB getting at? That's a retarded question, unless I'm missing something. V For Vendetta will make tons of money on DVD whether it's 19.99 or 25.99. Was the question aimed at the non-action DVD buyers? Maybe the question was "would you buy this movie for 20 dollars without extras?"

It was a masterpiece film buy the way - It was like a Michael Moore action movie! Vote for Hugo and Natalie next USA presidential elections!

Maybe. We don't know how the survey turned out.

MY guess is that this might be one of those deals with a close to bare bones one and a deluxe one also available for a marked up price, as WB seems fond of doing with stuff like Constantine and Charlie and the Chocolate factory.

I, like others, cannot wait for this to be released.

I'll be hitting it up in the theaters again later this week...if not for the movie, for the chance to see Portman in a school girl uniform

the real question is who will get the lenticular cover?

I enjoyed this movie, at the same time I see this turning into the next story I get sick of hearing about, and seeing on T-shirts.

thanks for the news DFNYC, I always like to hear what the little cards have to ask.

I want a $49.95 3-disc Criterion set.

With a Michael Medved commentary track.

I would buy it for 49.99 if it had an Alan Moore commentary track.

Since there is no way in hell I'm going to see this in a theater I'm glad they're considering releasing this on DVD. I'll probably be renting it I'm not too worried about what they price it at.

Perhaps they were gauging whether or not it would be a good dual-release title, like Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, with a $19.95 regular version and a more expensive 2-disker.

Well crap. From the title of the thread, I thought a DVD release date had been announced.

The question is, when will we get to the point where they just release films theatrically and on DVD at the same time? (I know a studio just tried this with a film, but I can't remember what it was.)

Me, too. God damn it. A thread about the possibility of this being released to DVD some day?

Honestly, this was one of the best theatrical experiences I've had in a very long time. No cell phones. No talking. No kicking chairs. NOTHING. The whole theater was dead silent throughout the whole thing. A friend of mine had the same experience. It's an intense movie. You might be pleasantly surprised.
