The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (Special Edition, 2 discs) 4/8/08

This is awesome kick-ass news. Something I didnt think we'd ever see. A 2-disk Set for less than $15 bucks.



OK they got this up for pre-order at Amazon....

Also you can vote and choose the cover art they will be using for this new Edition.

(I picked Option 3)

Great news, couldn't vote for any of the covers because I don't like any of them. I actually like the latest cover for the one disc better.

I voted for #2. I like #3 but I don't think that'd help it sell disks to people who haven't already seen it before.

Definitely an immediate buy for me - especially since I never got around to buying the current release!

I hope they're not doing something to it like they did with Erik The Viking. I'm still seething about that one.

I like how thedigitalbits.com is only reporting this is coming out on Blu-Ray. Fucking hi-def snobs.

I would love to see Commentaries With GIlliam, Idle, Sarah Polley, John Neville, Isolated Score, deleted scenes, and a feature length Documentary about the numerous problems the film was plagued with during production...I can hope...
Now he need a good SE of The Fisher King.

^I'm very glad it's not honestly. It'll be half the price and the features sound really good.
Here is what the digital Bits report are the Special Features (for the blu-ray release but besides the special java track whatever the fuc* that is well I'd assume everything else is on the reg. 2-disk DVD.)
Special features will include a BD Java "graphics and picture track," audio commentary with director Terry Gilliam & co-writer/actor Charles McKeown, The Madness and Misadventures of Munchausen 3-part documentary, 3 featurettes (As We Once Dreamed It, A Voyage to the Moon and The Baron & Bucephalos Charge the Turkish Gates) and deleted scenes.

What's up with the haterade? Who cares?

Thrilled, but can we confirm that the commentary included is from the CC laserdisc? I think since CC struck a deal for Bottle Rocket I think both the Life of Brian and Munchausen SEs are including their tracks, which is sweet news.

One can only hope The Fisher King is right behind.

Cool! I have never seen this movie. It has been on my wishlist for a few years now... I guess I've been waiting for a special edition release. I can't wait to see it.

I love the cover art choice opportunity on amazon. I (obviously) chose #3. I was a little nervous that people would vote for the other two horrible cover arts. It looks like #3 is dominating, though. Reminds me of a Criterion-esque cover.

Good call on the commentary from the laserdisc. Please don't short us on that! I have not heard it, but Terry Gilliam has some of the best commentaries I have ever listened too.

I agree. Can't believe Baron is getting and SE before a movie that actually had an Oscar performance, and multiple nominations, but I am happy to see the SE coming anyway.

Seconded. Bridges, Williams, Amanda Plummer (underrated) and Ruehl are top-line.

Agreed, a Fisher King SE would be great.

Oh, and I also voted for Option 3.

Hope it's as good as the Criterion laser disc of years ago...

That told me hours to go through. Ah, glory days.

Terrific news! Of course, my second impulse was to complain that April is (relatively) far away. Some people are never satisfied...
